I am one who enjoys novellas because they tie in parts of stories that we might miss otherwise while working on reading every book in a series. And this quick read, we learn a little bit more about Joey Morales, the young computer hacker and programmer that has come under the watchful eye of Evan Smoak, The Nowhere Man. better known as Orphan X. In fact, Joey affectionately calls him X.

Joey is heartbroken when she fails to stop the suicide of a young woman. Joey discovers something called The List, which is something that is around her college campus that rates young women based on their sexual prowess. Joy is determined to find out who is responsible for this list and for the girls suicide. I have come to love Joey in the series in to see her work her own case as it were, was a true delight.

Many thanks to Minotaur Books and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

Fans of Gregg Hurwitz's Orphan X series of thrillers on steroids first met teen Joey Morales in Hellbent.

Orphan-trained as an assassin, Joey escaped the program with the help of Evan's mentor Jack. She has remarkable combat and hacking skills.

At UCLA, Joey attempts to stop Becca Morgan's suicide and fails. Hacking into the phone that Becca dropped, Joey finds what drove her to the brink - a spreadsheet that rates young women on campus according to appearance, sexual proclivity and positions - with comments.

She uses her hacking skills to make those responsible pay.

I was very disappointed that this book only contained 94 pages. I can read that in 20 minutes. I really feel that this book needed more development to be an enjoyable read
