Maybe when Hurwitz writes the very last Orphan X book he'll find a way to get them back together.

But then I thought Evan had no choice in the matter. He was held against his will from the time he was a child and brainwashed. And the more important fact about Evan is that e did change and we all have things we wish we could do over and we all deserve a second chance and I am glad Evan got his second chance.Kathy's Cornerhttps://apple592.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-66525277035912143592023-03-08T14:46:59.883-08:002023-03-08T14:46:59.883-08:00Oh that really sounds good.Oh that really sounds good.Mary Kirklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991095291522043588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-81616578769413150322023-03-08T14:31:22.363-08:002023-03-08T14:31:22.363-08:00I should try the first book in the series.

It seemed as though the choreography of each of the many fight scenes was described down to the last muscle flex. Since I'm of the Indiana Jones School of Fighting (Gotta guy showing off with his sword instead of getting down to the business of trying to kill you? Just whip out your gun and shoot him!) I found it tiresome and lost the desire to read further.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-2879740836001840072023-03-08T07:15:34.244-08:002023-03-08T07:15:34.244-08:00Evan sounds like a complicated an interesting char...Evan sounds like a complicated an interesting character!
