About this listen

Set in Shanghai and Seattle, Calculated is a gritty, modern day blend of The Count of Monte Cristo and Mission Impossible. She has many names - Octavia, Double 8, Phoenix, Josephine. She’s a math prodigy, a calculating genius, and everyone wants her.

In 17-year-old Jo River’s complicated world of numbers, there’s no such thing as coincidence. When she is betrayed by someone she loves, kidnapped by the world’s most wanted smuggler, and forced to use her talent to shore up a criminal empire, Jo deems her gift a curse - until she meets Red.

Fellow captive and unlikely sage, Red teaches Jo to harness her true potential, so she can do more than just escape. Before he dies, Red reveals a secret about her enemies and makes her vow to right his wrongs. But Jo has a vow of her own. With help from Chan, a bitter billionaire, and Kai, his off-limits son, Jo rises into a new role, ready to take down those who ruined her life. Until a mathematical error comes back to haunt her with a threat much more dangerous than the criminals on the loose. To beat the odds, Jo must decide who she really is and if risking everything is worth it. After all, history is not made - it’s calculated. With themes of revenge and forgiveness, loss and identity, brainpower versus brutality, and the triumph of right over might, it will resonate with listeners everywhere.

Interesting story about a young idealist girl who has loss pain strength and survived to have all her dreams come true

Youthful romance

I love the subtleties that are written into this difficult story. A genuine story of redemption and an ultimate working of all things for good, despite the circumstance. Without the strong ideals afforded by her mentor, she could have spiraled to the same fate as her nemesis.

Wonderfully Rich Story

I loved every second of this story! But most of all, I loved Josephine. Her story broke my heart and sewed it back together. I'm looking forward to listening to the sequel. Also, the narrator is fantastic!

Incredible

I had heard about this book several time and it made me curious. I remember watching and enjoying a tv series called Numbers about a math genius and another more recently called Scorpion. Scorpion was had a team of geniuses and was based on the real life of Walter O’Brien. Calculated did not disappoint. Its novel story, well crafted characters and fast paced plots intertwine to form a very enjoyable adventure. I hadn’t thought of an interesting way to keep the series going so the ending of book one was unexpected but greatly appreciated. I’m downloading the additional books in the too short series now and can’t wait to see the movie after it’s completed production.

Interesting, captivating and intriguing

So well written, and the narrator did a fantastic job! When the book was recommended we had no idea just how much we would enjoy. Not a dull moment! Kept us on our toes while weaving through a story of betrayal, forgiveness and redemption! And for the romantics, the author does not disappoint!

Wow! Interesting! Intriguing! Captivating!
