A review by katkinney
Dark Horse by Gregg Hurwitz

5.0

Evan Smoak was trained from a young age to be a government assassin. Now he works as the Nowhere Man, helping those who need his aid. In this book, he’s been called to assist Aragon Urrea, the head of a drug cartel in south Texas, whose only daughter has been kidnapped by a rival cartel at her eighteenth birthday party. The father is a terrible man. The daughter is an innocent. Evan has some conditions before he will agree to help. I liked this book particularly because the characters were interesting (and there were some surprise twists!) and also because the storyline with Mia (Evan’s downstairs neighbor and love interest) and her son Peter went in some interesting directions. I will be waiting especially to see how that turns out in the next book. 5/5 stars.
