Gregg hurwitz orphan x book order As seen in my rating above I did take away a star I found myself getting lost in the story I had difficulty envisioning the setting and feeling like I was a part of the action I also found it a bit odd how Samuel was going about accusing and questioning the people he suspects are responsible for killing his parents If he believes these people are capable of murder why would he confront them in such a way That part didn t make sense to me. The orphans of race point Aside from the bit mentioned above I thought this story was well thought out with several avenues for readers to ponder I liked that the culprit of his parents death wasn t obvious the whole time We really had to follow along closely in order to put the pieces together. Book the orphan train If you are a fan of historical fiction and murder mysteries The Orphan is a must read Saved from the brink of death a boy who lost everything sets out to avenge who he loved most Leah for Novels Alive 238
