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
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!

Liked book two a bit more than the first one; although book end with a cliff hanger. In book one he's almost buried alive in oil, and in book two he's about to be run over by a train. I don't know whether the author will be able to keep the books interesting; I'm already tired of him just moving

around looking for a place to sleep all the time. Hopefully, he'll change locations in book three, and the setting will be different. I will read the March one, and then I'll decide whether or not to keep going. Show Less
