In a recent investor call for the upcoming movie, they announced that the e-book would be discounted for 5 days starting on 7/29/22. It's a great series with 3 books out so far and another on the way. 4.7 star reviews, but just hasn't had a lot of exposure yet.




Soon to be a major motion picture, with Emmy Award-winning screenwriter, Ann Peacock, best known for The Chronicles of Narnia, to adapt the novel for screen.

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 seventeen-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.

"This delightful book will hook readers from the first page and have them longing for more." —School Library Journal

This book has nothing to do with China besides being set there...

Maybe do 5 seconds of internet searching before spewing your flawed opinion?

Sorry, I misunderstood the meaning of the comment. I thought they were referring to it being made by Chinese.

Anything done in China must have approval of the government. If they are filming in Shanghai, you can bet your ass they reviewed the script.
