About the Book



Teen math genius Jo Rivers is kidnapped for what her math gift can do. To gain her life back, Jo escapes and plans revenge on her powerful captors-but an old vow, an off-limits boy, and a looming international crisis stand in her way.



Book Synopsis



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.

With themes of revenge and forgiveness, loss and identity, brainpower versus brutality, and the triumph of right over might, it will resonate with readers everywhere.

The author is a genius!

It takes a genius to write a genius character. Nova and Calculated are no exception. Her book is phenomenal! This is a story that explores how gifts can be curses, wrestles with questions of identity, and locks your eyes to the page. I couldn’t put it down! Nova’s suspense is well-crafted, and her characters are unique. Jo’s character arc is woven with imperfections, impossible obstacles, and high-stakes. She is a diamond formed under pressure, and I can’t wait to finish the rest of the series!
