4 stars. Very good for a short story
I've been enjoying the Orphan X series and haven't read the novellas, but The List featured Joey Morales, who I love and wanted to learn more about. Joey was the last recruit to the Orphan Program, but she flunked out. She still had great skills, especially hacking, so when she was rescued by Evan Smoake, he took her under his wing like he was a foster parent. Joey lives alone and is attending college taking computer courses she could teach. When she witnesses a young woman take her own life by

There is a lot of story in this very short novella. I enjoyed learning more about Joey. She is a super bada$$ for a sixteen-year-old. We see that she loves X in an uncle/brotherly way. I also loved seeing X's heart and the need to protect Joey.
A great little story in this series. ...more

I truly love Joey in the Orphan X series so I totally jumped at this novella dedicated specifically to her. It’s a spin-off from a scene in one of the books so if you read them it feels like you’ve already read this story, but you haven’t. And if you’ve never read an Orphan X book, there’s enough to fill you in on Joey and X’s relationship to not feel lost. Joey is highlighted as the assassin in training drop out she is. The pillar of protection and calling out bad behavior when she sees it. She

I suppose this is more a short story than a novella. It is about Joey, who is enrolled in university computer classes that she says she herself could teach if she "left 40 IQ points at the door!"
I enjoyed this short read about how Joey got revenge on the guys who listed the campus girls by assessing their physical/sexual rankings. I am so glad to be a person who is the same age as senior citizens ;-) ...more

Enjoyed this deeper dive into Joey. She takes on the problem on her terms and kicks a$$. We see more of the relationship development between Orphan X and Joey. Loved the addition in the audio hearing the author talk about what his plans were for Joey and then where they ultimately went.
Loved this! Joey is a great character, hope we see more of her.
