I have enjoyed this series since I started with book one and this book did not disappoint! I was hooked on what was in store for Evan from page one especially since this installment did not start as the other books in the series usually do.

Evan Smoak is at a crossroads. He feels that his longtime friend Tommy Stojack has broken one of his important rules and now he needs to rectify it. While trying to work through his issue with Tommy, Evan looks to get justice for a family who was targeted based on their nationality while also dealing with a less than honorable police department. Unbeknownst to Evan, Tommy is working on the same issue but from the other side but what will happen when the two meet - will they clash or will they resolve their issues?? This is all going on while Evan is struggling with his rules as well as issues that Joey is having as well.

Where this book does not progress in the typical way the other books in this series have progressed it was nice to get more of Tommy's story with Evan. I am worried about what will happen with Evan after they way the book ends and what it will mean for Evan's future.

I was hooked on this story from the start just as I have been with the rest of the series. I listened to the audio version of the book and enjoyed the narration as Scott Brick does a great job bringing this story to life. Overall, this is a great addition to the series that I would recommend to others.

This was very long and drawn out for me, not sure if it’s because I didn’t read any of the others but I found myself very uninterested in the plot

Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan audio for the advanced audio book.

Perhaps it was because this is the tenth book in a series, but the plot got too convoluted for me. To the point where I didn't care about the characters or what was going to happen.

Nemesis is the 10th book in the Orphan X series from Gregg Hurwitz.

"Evan finds out that Tommy, his gunsmith and armorer and possibly his best friend in the world, has violated one of his commandments by providing weapons to an enemy - someone willing to hurt innocents. When Evan shows up to confront Tommy, he is attacked by mercenaries. Tommy has headed out to keep a promise to an old war buddy. It all comes to a head in an abandoned ghost town."

One thing unusual about this Orohan X story is that we get Tommy's POV for the first time. And we get a little of Joey's POV. There are several storylines going on here and Hurwitz does a good job not getting lost and tying them together at the end. The scene at Tommy's shop is another one of those Orphan X action scenes that Hurwitz does so well - X is continuously backed into a corner but figures a way.
Evan has continued to grow and change because of the people around him. It keeps the character fresh without feeling like it's just the same plot everytime.
Not the ending I would have wished for but the characters' fates belong to Hurwitz.

Scott Brick is the perfect voice for Evan Smoak and does a great job with the audio.

Another great Orphan X story.
