Simulated

Calculated, Book 2

By: Nova McBee

Narrated by: Laura Knight Keating

From young adult author Nova McBee comes the second book in the gritty, action-filled Calculated series.

Jo Rivers, safely back in Seattle, asks the same question daily - how does a math genius go from taking down international criminals and saving the world economy to living a normal teenage life? The only answer she can come up with is - she doesn’t.

With an overprotective father on her back and Kai on the other side of the world, Jo accepts an offer from Prodigy Stealth Solutions (PSS), who may have found a way to get her gift back. Using a newly developed technology, PSS tries a simulation process on Jo to restore her abilities, but during the attempt, PSS is hacked, and a blacklist file containing some of PSS’ most sensitive secrets is stolen. Meanwhile, a mysterious caller who seems to know more than he should delivers a warning to Jo about Kai, who then goes missing.

Despite her father’s concerns, Jo sets off on a risky trip to Tunisia with a PSS team of teen prodigies to find an urgently needed solution for PSS and locate Kai. All the while, Jo has to trust the mysterious informant who, frighteningly, is like no one she has ever met before.

Now I can't wait for the third in the series!

Simulated was such a fun ride. I enjoyed it just as much as Calculated, and can't wait to read the third! The narrator is fantastic.

Captivating, Stimulating and I’m Anticipating….

The third book! I have listened to the first two so far and can’t wait to finish the series! I fell in love with Jo and am excited to see what she does next. The author does a great job of weaving together details and leaving breadcrumbs for the reader to follow while shedding light slowly and carefully on the character developments and the plot. Very well written, easy to listen to and a great little escape . If you crave adventure and love a story that makes you think, and also love a good love story… these books are for you! Smartly written and story telling at its finest!

The emotional moments and challenges are the perfect follow up for the characters we come to know well in Calculated.

I liked how the author helps us understand the struggles strengths, gifts and vulnerabilities of the characters before the climax unfolds. It makes the story engaging, believable and exciting.

Heart

This was tense and action-packed! It’s a thrilling read with heart, I found it hard to take break from listening to it.

Enthralling

Can’t wait to finish the series. A throughly entertaining read. I recommend it for adults as well as young adults.
