Disclaimer: I received an advance digital copy of this title thru NetGalley.
This is another favorite series, flawed for me only by the fact that I don’t like the narrator for the audio versions (I know others really do, but I just don’t). While my favorite book is still “Let’s Kill POTUS” (Out of the Dark, book 4) this latest shows the most growth of Evan’s character. I recently saw a short video of Gregg Hurwitz talking about how he was originally going to kill Joey at, I believe, the end of book 3 where she was introduced and I just can’t help but believe that this series would have not been as enjoyable if that had happened, so I’m immensely glad that Joey was allowed to live, thrive, and impact Evan so positively and sassily.
Evan’s relationships with everyone around him seems to grow exponentially in Lone Wolf and it was both touching and hilarious to watch Evan go through all that he does. It’s been highly entertaining following these missions of Orphan X and meeting the expanding circle of his associates.
While this time I did catch the earlier clue (I don’t always) about the revelation in the last sentence so it wasn’t a surprise to me, I can’t wait to see how it plays out in the next installment.
