The ninth in the Orphan X series is out! This was a good update to the series -- it doesn't necessarily do anything groundbreaking but if you've been following this series you know what to expect and this delivers. It has exciting shoot-outs, some funny moments, great banter between Evan and Joey, and some preaching about the life lessons Evan is learning. 

*

I liked how this started -- this isn't about a massive conspiracy, or a drug cartel, Evan was "hired" to find a little girl's missing dog. That of course leads to a lot more drama, but it's still much more small-scale than what he's dealt with before. 

*

I also liked the latest development with Joey. She's a great character and keeps getting better. 

*

I also want to say I liked the ending and how it's setting up what's to come next...but I said that about the last book, and the thing it set up ended up mattering for about 3 pages, so *shrug* we'll see.

If you've been following this series, you should enjoy this!
