The Orphan X series is truly what got me back into fiction after years of strictly reading non-fiction. It went from a recommendation from family to a series I never want to see end and recommend to everyone. 

I loved this book because it was different and strayed from the typical Orphan X mission novel format. The oft repeated mantra of the series is that the hardest part is to keep Evan human. This book more than any other pushes Evan into embracing humanity both good and bad whether he wants to or not.

I had an inkling of what happened in the last chapter earlier on in the book but I didn’t want to admit it to myself until I saw it on the page. Thank goodness this means the Orphan X series can and MUST continue. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Minotaur for an ARC of this book. This is the first Orphan X book I’ve been picked to get an ARC for (after trying for years) and I was thrilled to read it early!
