I really wanted to love this, and it wasn't bad by any means, but it was definitely not my favorite in the series. It felt like more of a transition book than anything else, and maybe I misunderstood the concept from the description but it really wasn't what I expected? The "bad" guy wasn't as exciting as advertised, and while I liked the idea of Evan's arc in this book, I wasn't as big a fan of the execution. My highlights were Evan's interactions with Joey, and Candy's presence in this book. Waiting for the next instalment!

Evan
Evan and his small team of two had me glued to the story at the beginning. The action of fighting an opponent in Iceland on a mountain. The strategy of how to take down an opponent was supreme for this kind of book. Evan, is a man with many tools to use at the tap of a button or call. The book moved very quickly in the beginning, but it did a major stahl for me at the questioning of a character. The book was entertaining, but I got a little lost when some characters were questioned. I tried to figure out how the are related to the target that Evan had to chase down.

3 Stars. Barely. Evidently, I just read my least favorite Orphan X novel. This one didn’t hit the spot. It was incomplete. It wasn’t nearly as fun as I have come to expect. Just disappointing. Sometimes, we/I expect way too much from our favorite authors and characters. This was one of those times. Mr. Hurwitz, I’m ready for the next one.
