Gregg Hurwitz
Evan Smoak--government assassin gone rogue--returns in Hellbent, an engrossing, unputdownable thriller from Gregg Hurwitz, the latest in his #1 international bestselling Orphan X series.Taken from a group home at age twelve, Evan Smoak was raised and trained as an off-the-books government assassin: Orphan X. After he broke with the Orphan Program, Evan disappeared and reinvented himself as the Nowhere Man, a man spoken about only in whispers and dedicated to helping the truly desperate. But this time, the voice on the other end is Jack Johns, the man who raised and trained him, the only father Evan has ever known. Secret government forces are busy trying to scrub the remaining assets and traces of the Orphan Program and they have finally tracked down Jack. With little time remaining, Jack gives Evan his last assignment: find and protect his last protege and recruit for the program. But Evan isn't the only one after this last Orphan--the new head of the Orphan Program, Van Sciver, is mustering all the assets at his disposal to take out both Evan (Orphan X) and the target he is trying to protect.

"<i>Hellbent</i> is another fun, witty joyride from Cherie Priest. Raylene Pendle makes a massively entertaining vampiric narrator with sticky-fingered tendencies. If you like a good urban fantasy adventure with some different vampires than you're used to and a healthy dose of sarcasm and humor, this is right up your alley. However, if your sense of humor doesn't match up with Priest's writing, you will probably want to skip this one. Pendle's personality stays consistent through the book. If you enjoyed the first novel and its narration, then you won't want to miss this one."

"I've been waiting to hear this story since I started listening to this series (not that long really, but you get my meaning). The whole Pretty Boy/Shep dance of "I want, but I shouldn't want" is torture. This is my first all Wen narrated book and it being one of those stories that you beg for is just wow. I've loved this entire series and it's just so yummy. I couldn't imagine these stories going any other way and the twists that are thrown in just make it all the better. There may have been a 4 book wait to hear the goings on of Shep and Pretty Boy but MAN was it SOOOO worth the wait and it just makes me want to hear about who's next in the club to get paired up."
