A review by rellimreads
Hellbent by Gregg Hurwitz
5.0
This is book 3 in the Evan Smoak/Orphan X series. While there’s a whole story here - there’s some secondary storylines that I think are best enjoyed if you listen to Orphan X & The Nowhere Man first. As such this review may contain spoilers to those books.
I absolutely loved this book start to finish. Not only is there amazing action, suspense, and thriller aspects... but Evan finds himself teamed with a teenage girl who was rescued from the Orphan program. Their interactions were hilarious, heartbreaking, and charming. It's somewhat cathartic for both of them and I adored that aspect. Not only that, but Joey is shrewd, capable (especially given her disrupted training), and shows no fear in her witty banter with Evan.
Van Sciver is after all former Orphans in an attempt to glean whatever information may lead him to Evan/X. These scenes are brutal and often chilling. Candy continues to be the operative I love to hate and she's glorious in this book.
As with the previous books, there's a lot of resolutions and just as many new mysteries to be solved. Not all threats were conquered and I'm anticipating Out of the Dark.
Narration:
My thoughts on Scott Brick are going to get repetitive as I make my way through the series. Even with an online thesaurus there's only so many ways to say talented, perfect, enjoyable, and love him as Evan.
