Hellbent by Gregg Hurwitz

Ah, Hellbent. Hurwitz has done it again!


The third book in the Orphan X series did not disappoint.  Our hero Evan Smoak is saving Joey, an Orphan program outcast, is on the hunt for Van Sciver, who apparently is the number 2 man giving orders, rescuing an initiate from a gang, and all while trying to keep his friendship alive with Mia in his apartment complex.  The Nowhere Man is constantly busy, and this book didn't slow down.  We are left with a wonderful little conversation with Evan and the number 1 man giving orders. 

These books are full of action, suspense, and really great relationships.  Oh, and he loves Vodka.  Really expensive vodka.  He also loves his plant Vera II.  I love that although this guy is constantly battling, scheming, and running, he's not some cartoon or superhero.  There are human emotions and gentle characteristics to him.  He kind of takes on a father figure role for Joey, just as Jack Johns had done for him.  This was a great read, and I am awaiting Out of the Dark to be released.
