pickI loved that Evan was more fleshed out and he was very likable. Villain was easy to hate, and I love to hate them 😂
This was slower than the first book, Evan was in a tough situation and it felt so depressive. I still enjoyed, even though I would have loved to have some hope. After all he went through the ending felt a bit unsatisfying.
This was somehow really enjoyable/fun to read, and something I really needed at this moment.

pickThe second book in the Orphan X series really includes some big surprises! It‘s a fast listen and one that I enjoyed from its action-filled start to finish! The narrator does a great job and that cliffhanger of an ending has me thrilled the third book is also available through #KindleUnlimited (though a bit disappointed that the audio isn‘t included the way it was for the first two books). I love a good series and this is definitely one of those!
pickThis series is 🔥 🔥 🔥!!! So good. I nearly read this one in a single sitting!

Thanks for the #HumpDayPost @MinDea ! 😊
I spent much of today putting up this book box for a friend in #Ipswich #Suffolk. Naturally I filled it with #bookcrossing registered books.
Although I don‘t have a 45 Rpm record of #Yesterday, I couldn‘t let the last days of #HeyJune go by. Yes, I still have a lot of my old 45s and albums. I guess I can‘t forget yesterday. ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for a great trip down my Beatles Memory Lane!
pickFantastic! On to #3 ❤️
Waiting on my pastrami sandwich ❤️
My final monthly summary of 2017. Other than a whopping three bails, I had a really good month, more than 4000 pages and 50+ hours - reread some of my favorites (Red Rising & A Christmas Carol) and read some great new books as well. Looking forward to reading some more great reads in 2018 (January‘s most anticipated to come soon).
pickHuge thanks to @TrishB for introducing me to Evan Smoak. The Nowhere Man is the sequel to Orphan X and I think it‘s even better than its predecessor. This is a taut, violent, edge-of-your-seat thriller with a villain worthy of the best James Bond film and an ending that will leave you screaming for the (not yet available) next book. Gregg Hurwitz has graduated to the rank of auto-buy author. Run, don‘t walk, to read this series! #AllTheStars
Rene makes me think of the villain in the Bond film, Skyfall - trying so desperately to seem composed, cultured, and in control, but in reality, he‘s bat-crap crazy. I half expect him to remove some prosthetic causing his face to melt, or something equally disturbing.
Google translate is a wonderful thing. 😉
Human trafficking. 😭
Just reading this (which I won from a giveaway from the lovely @TrishB ), while the dog balances a pig on her head. It's been there several minutes. She hasn't noticed. She's watching a squirrel. Excellent posture. #dogsoflitsy
@Oryx I have your book with me if we manage to meet tonight! I am getting there about 5pm! I have red DM shoes on, black coat and short black/purple hair 😀😀 hopefully that's good enough!!
A big happy birthday to @TrishB What a lovely, thoughtful way to celebrate! The last Gregg Hurwitz book I read was while I was sat next to my son‘s hospital bed in Alder Hey after surgery on his legs, so it‘s been a while (4 years!). #50birthdaygiveaway
My buddy and birthday girl is celebrating her big day in true Litsy spirit🙌🏻 with a #50thbirthdaygiveaway 💝I'd love a chance to read Nowhere Man, although I still have Orphan X sitting on my shelf @TrishB 😉They could keep each other company!!! Thanks for #PayingItForward and again happiest wishes 😘
A BIG Happy Birthday to @TrishB today!!!! 🎉🍾🎊🎂🥂I definitely want to join in the fun and I haven‘t read any of these but I do own the Power. So I‘d love One of Us is Lying and The Nowhere Man. Thank you for doing this #50thbirthdaygiveaway
Happy 50th birthday @TrishB Thanks for running a giveaway. I haven't read nowhere man, so that would be my pick. Enjoy the rest of your day! #50thbirthdaygiveaway
pickThis was an unexpected second instalment for Orphan X. You expect a story where The Nowhere Man is saving people but instead you have a story where he needs to save himself. What sometimes feels like a slow burn is actually a great ploy to help you appreciate the helplessness Evan finds himself in. With twisted psychpathic characters pulling the strings the story unfolds, with a few predictable bits, this is a good thriller.
And the sequel has been delivered! 😍 SO EXCITED FOR THIS! I love this cover! He shines a charcoal grey/silvery colour 😭 #gregghurwitz #thenowhereman #orphanx #teaandbooks #booklover #litsynewbie #disney
pickJust as exciting as the first book. Smoak is given a more human depiction this time as we see him battle guilt, love and loss throughout. Of course there's just as much action as the first one but who doesn't love a tough guy with a heart!
Excited to start reading the sequel to Orphan X! I hope it's as good as the first. #readingwiththesoundofrainoutside
"Animal from the Muppets is my spirit animal." A rare bit of humor in this fast-paced thriller. Scott Brick rocks the narration. Highly recommended.
pickThe sequel to Orphan X is every bit as exciting as the first book. Evan Smoak is the former operative now working freelance, and he finds himself taken hostage and becoming the one who need help. The story follows him as he tries to free himself and save two people who need him.
It's wide open for a follow up. I hope it comes soon.
pickJust what I needed, full on thriller 😀 many twists and turns in this one especially right at the end! It still reads like a series of 24 to me - the good ones!
A couple of years ago, I met Gregg Hurwitz at Murder & Mayhem in Muskego - a one day conference featuring lots of mystery author. I was quite surprised to find mention of Muskego and Jon Jordan (Crimespree Magazine) in the book! It's also a great book - I'm liking Evan Smoak.
One of the best thriller writers out there - can't wait to start.
so-so
