Book Synopsis:

Cal's old life ended as soon as the deadly 365-day countdown began. So far he's been attacked by sharks, blamed for a vicious assault on his family, kidnapped by two criminal gang, and left to drown in a fast-filling oil tank.

Book Review:

From Him:

**Note - it is hard to put this in without adding a spoiler for January, but then each book includes a summary at the start.

Callum Ormond, after being captured by a crime boss, is now almost drowning in an underground oil tank. The enigmatic girl Winter intervenes although she has her own secrets and Callum cannot find it in him to trust her. But who else can he trust? He is on the run from the police and from at least two crime syndicates with their own agendas.

Despite himself, Winter seems to have information that might help Callum uncover the secrets that surround the Ormond family. The Ormond Angel, the Ormond Riddle and the Ormond Singularity.

From Her:

I'm getting very very worried about the people that help Cal. It's a fraught experience, and the new character of Winter is a good entrant to these books. Perhaps this is part of why this series might be aimed at boys, but would work incredibly well for girls as well. Both sexes are well represented in Cal's peer group.

The pressure is really increasing on Cal in February, and he's finding it very hard to work out who to trust, as well as finding his life on the run becoming increasingly uncomfortable. There are two questions out of this book - can he survive, will he weaken?

Apropos of very little - love the backwards page count that they are using in these books - we start at page 183, reading down to 0!
