Book 9 in the Orphan X series starts
off with a whimper of a mission: find a missing dog! Not the normal sort of life and death mission requiring the assistance from Nowhere Man, Evan Smoak. Indeed, I almost gave up, but the presence or a female ninja lone wolf assassin piqued my interest. I'm glad I stuck with it, as it got better and quickly.

After 8 books of lethal, don't-make--it-personal retributional missions and killings, Smoak faces his toughest challenge: meeting family and dealing with feelings. This is by far the most personal and evolutionary book in this series, and it shows both Evsn and his young female side-kick Joey grappling and ultimately coming to terms with their humanity. They are more than just killing machines. One of the trickiest issues here is the presidency of the HOA where Evan lives and he has to act as an intermediary negotiator, using words not weapons. This is well worth a read, especially if you are all caught up with the orphans.
Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley. I received an advanced reader copy of this book in return for an honest review.
