The Felix Chronicles #2
Five Days in January
Felix and Allison return from winter break with hopes of settling into the comfortable rhythms of college life only to find Portland College hasn’t escaped the wave of senseless violence sweeping across the land, from the malls of Minnesota to a small town in northern Maine. Amidst the chaos, a political movement rises, fueled by the turmoil threatening to tear the country apart. As the public’s discontent reaches a final tipping point, a new hope emerges from an unexpected figure, a man offering the promise of peace and security—the prospect of ‘freedom from fear’. When the line that separates allies from enemies blurs and good and evil becomes a matter of perspective, Felix must make a choice. But as the gears of a 2,000-year-old prophecy grind inexorably to the future, can Felix choose his own path, or is free will as illusory as the salvation promised by a man destined to set the world aflame?

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
When I read a sequel, I generally expect for it to be better and more advanced than the previous book. That was definitely the case with this thrilling sequel to The Felix Chronicles: Freshmen by R.T. Lowe. While the sequel is significantly shorter than book 1, there was plenty of action and development to go around. Felix's character develops as the world around he and his friends is ever changing and falling apart. One of the things I really enjoyed in this book was the amount of action. And even beyond that, how great the detail was. The author writes in such a way that makes it easy to visualize and see the scenes play out in your head. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to readers of horror and fantasy.

Consider the events of R.T. Lowe’s new dystopian thriller Five Days in January:
Felix and his friends live in a contemporary America where violence is becoming the norm, made possible by easy legal access to weapons. The one person that people rally behind would seem to epitomize everything they hate—a billionaire who flaunts his history of manipulating the financial and political system to reap untold personal riches and benefits, and who brags about his beautiful women and wealth. But he tells supporters what they want to hear: the current government is the source of every evil, responsible for every one of their personal losses or failures, and anybody else’s success was actually stolen from what was rightfully theirs.
Becoming the leader of the very political party who had opposed him, he calls for opposition to and victory over the current government by claiming that they are the ones responsible for allowing murdering monsters into the country, and thus all resulting death and bloodshed are actually the current government’s fault. Any who oppose him are called “politically correct”, liars, or bloodstained murderers.
This is a book which was written last year, and released over a month ago. It’s a dystopian science fiction tale, and yet chillingly prescient, especially for someone reading it as I did—while news reports unfolded of a mass murderer slaughtering innocent people at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. Next day I stood in a crowd in London as literally tens of thousands of people grieved for those targeted. When people around me realized I was American, they asked me over and over, how America could keep letting things like this happen.
Against that backdrop, the monster at the head of the political party challenging the sitting government in R.T. Lowe’s Five Days in January sounds eerily familiar:
[quote] “The government,” Lofton began after concluding his introductory pleasantries, “has broken its social contract. It no longer serves the people, it serves interests, and those interests are not aligned with the safety, prosperity and welfare of our society. The President and our leaders in Congress are beholden to these interests, who in turn, ensure they remain in power. This, my friends, is about to change.” … “What happens when zealots are allowed to murder in the name of self-serving, reactionary ideologies?” … “So we have a message for our leaders sitting at home watching in their mansions paid for with the blood of our children. We are not afraid, and we are coming! Today, we are putting you on notice. Your time has come to an end. We are no longer going to live in fear. We demand freedom.” [end quote]
And then I heard Donald Trump, his party’s presumptive presidential candidate, echo the words of the monster. "Is President Obama going to mention the words radical islamic terrorism? If he doesn't he should immediately resign in disgrace."—TWEET from @RealDonaldTrump 6:58PM 12 June 2016
Of course, this is fiction. Felix and his friends are freshmen at Portland College, trying to concentrate on classes and finals. But they aren’t immune from outside events as the country seems to be breaking down. One friend’s brother is trapped in a “random” mall shooting. A political organization that everyone had initially laughed about now seems to claim a majority of his classmates as members. Well-armed shooters arrive on his campus.
In addition, Felix and his best friend Allison are still trying to understand and control the powers they have each been developing, and come to terms with the possibility that Felix might be the Chosen One. And their world is full of human, inhuman, and semi-human monsters as well.
But this is where the book breaks with the Chosen One trope (in which destiny chooses an ordinary person to be the only one who can save the world as we know it). In what I think moves it well beyond the first book in the series (see my review of The Felix Chronicles: Freshman), Felix and Allison begin to question “The Warning” prophecy, and roles they’ve been given. Is the Chosen One really a hero? Is The Warning really a prediction of what will happen, or just a statement of the threat of what could happen?
In so many ways, this middle volume of the series shows a matured writing style. The entire book is tighter, shorter, and more on-target than Book 1. Felix and Alison, as well as supporting characters, struggle to understand events as they rapidly unfold at ever-escalating pace. The plot twists are nonstop, and almost no character is actually who and what you think they are. Poor Felix and Allison struggle to adjust to their new abilities, while also worrying about making it to classes and keeping up with college assignments.
Yes, there is still that Harry Potter/Chosen One vibe. Felix is like Harry—to state it mildly—not only magically gifted, but a bit stupid, and tremendously lucky in his narrow escapes. Like the first book, Five Days in January still dances on a knife-edge between dark fantasy and horror, while the plot continues to ramp up the blood and gore levels even as Felix and Allison grow into their ever-increasing powers.
But overall, Five Days in January is not only a terrific thriller, it is clearly one that surpasses the first book in the series in almost every way. It’s that fact that made me forgive R.T. Lowe for the contrived cliffhanger ending. But we’re going to need that final volume to answer all our remaining questions. Will Felix ever get a clue? Or a date? Will Allison tell him what’s going on? Will anyone at Portland College be alive for finals? Will The Chosen One save America from monsters and a rightwing authoritarian extremist regime?
(Personally, I’m betting that Allison’s got it covered. #I’mWithHer)

This review was originally posted on Book Twister ReviewsFive Days in January by R.T. Lowe is just as thrilling and gripping as its predecessor,
The Felix Chronicles: Freshman
, and it only takes about half the pages to accomplish this.
With a much smaller book, Lowe comes back to this second installment with the same enthusiasm and attention to detail that made Freshman so great, a feat that many sequels can't achieve. It remains fast-paced but detailed fully, never leaving you in the dark, but always leaving you surprised. Five Days in January knows how to make itself a sequel that leaves readers begging for the next installment, and it all has to do with Lowe's wonderful ability to write realistically about currently world issues - mass shootings, government mistrust, a growing (and seemingly neverending) trend towards public violence - and still add the fantasy twist to Felix & Co.'s story that makes for an imaginative read.
In Freshman, Lowe delivered to readers a set of fleshed out characters that were easy to get to know, but still mysterious enough to leave a few unanswered questions. In Five Days in January, these characters are expanded upon, often answering previous questions but raising just as many new ones to take their place. I love that I still have so much to learn about Felix, Allison, and the rest of the gang two novels in. It's like getting to know real people and not just characters on a page.
The action in the novel is really heart-pounding, but I found the to be one of the most terrifying, if only because of real-world connections. I could truly feel the terror and despair of the characters trapped inside, and it was a scene that honestly made me put the novel down for a bit and take a few breaths.
Once again, Five Days in January is a violent book, and should be entered into with a bit of caution if, as a reader, you find violence and gore a bit hard to handle emotionally. Once again, it's not a negative on the novel itself, just a "Caution: Watch Your Step" sign.
And I still love the interactions between Felix and Allison, through it all. Despite the human, non-human, and semi-human monsters of Five Days in January, there's just something about these two that just makes it all okay. There's nothing like going through some crazy world changes with your best friend.
Honestly, I'm just eagerly awaiting the next book and can't wait to see what Lowe has in store!

There are times when picking up the second book in a series either leaves a reader in the dark or causes the reader to decide the first book isn't worth a look. The problem is two-fold for many writers: how much background about the first book to give (without lessening the reader's desire to get it) versus how to get on with the new story. Author RT Lowe strikes just the right balance here by slipping in primary details as well as expanded information related to Freshmen. It is done in a way that readers picking up Five Days are not lost and will be left with a desire to read the beginning of the tale.
Felix and his friends have survived the break, but the world is in a state of turmoil. The parallels to many events, current in the news, is evident and chilling. Mass shootings, governmental misappropriations, zealots -- all are running amok and the Portland College campus is not exempt. What makes the story so intriguing is that it takes place over just a few days (in about 200 or so pages shy of the previous installment) and the cast of characters has not expanded to a point that the reader is lost in the shuffle. Felix and Allison are full of surprises, as are a few others. Lowe's ability to paint pictures with words is graceful, realistic, and in some cases, downright creepy:
Human-animal hybrids? Felix thought. The government created human-ani --? His mind froze on a memory of a creature snapping down on his face with enormous dagger-filled jaws, blood and drool dribbling from its mouth, burning his eyes, its putrescent breath as foul as a rotting corpse bursting from the pressure of decomposing gas. The memory was of Lofton's creature. Not the government's. The newscast was a lie. (p. 93)
It seems this part of the story is a bit gorier than the previous, so readers with weak stomachs and strong imaginations may want take it in short spurts. Lowe writes in a way that makes the book difficult to put down, interspersing more difficult bits with comedy:
"You're such a dork," Allison said to him with a shake of her head. "Darth Vader?"
"I'm a dork? You brought up Harry Potter."
"You just did the Darth Vader voice. Darth is way dorkier than Harry." (p. 267)
Descriptions of characters are vivid and, despite the heavy subject matter (who is going to rule the world and how?), the reader will smile:
Graham kept expecting Mr. Pittlock to fall out of his chair and die. The president of Channel 8 was the unhealthiest looking man he'd ever seen, but the veterans at the station claimed he'd been this way for decades and had no trouble putting in ninety hour weeks. (p. 257)
Cliffhangers (for readers of the first book, no pun intended) abound and create the perfect multiple segue ways to a Book Three. In the meantime, pick up a copy of both books. You will not be disappointed.

Five Days in January follows on from where The Felix Chronicles: Freshman left off.
Felix and his friends return in early January for the new semester, amid a backdrop of world-changing events. One of the aspects of Five Days in January that intrigued me was the development of Felix as a character. Initially Felix annoyed me, he was killing casually. The internal monologue though showed that Felix was starting to feel uneasy about this. Allison and Harper encouraged him though, keeping him steady and ensuring that he didn't lose the plot.
As Five Days in January progresses Felix changes. As do the other main characters. The world around them is getting more violent. Lucas's brother is caught up in a mass shooting in a mall. This is graphic, and well written. It has the veracity of the eye witness to it. It also conveys the horror and helplessness of the victims. A couple of days later Felix and Allison foil an attempted armed attack at Portland College. Felix kills both attackers. It transpires that both attacks, along with others, have been staged to push America into chaos.
Felix doesn't quite know who to trust. He relies on Harper and Allison to keep him straight.

This book reunites the readers with Felix, Allison, their friends, and Bill. Disturbing acts of violence occur throughout the country, not sparing Portland College.
With The Felix Chronicles: Five Days in January, R. T. Lowe has once again created a thrilling combination of mystery, paranormal, and urban fantasy. It is a compelling read, drawing you close to Felix and Allison - sometimes a little too close for comfort. In his first book, R. T. Lowe created a broad variety of believable and complex main characters, still leaving enough room for the personal imagination; in this second book, you learn even more about them when they are facing new challenges. Nicely woven situations and thrilling interactions kept me glued to my E-reader. There is violence, gore, magic, a bunch of interesting characters and an intriguing story for you to enjoy.
This is for you if you like characters with a mission, thrill with great twists, urban fantasy, masterly combined plot-lines, and food for thought.
The awesome second book in The Felix Chronicles series; I am eagerly waiting for the third book!
Highly recommended!

Five Days in January was even more thrilling and complex than the first one. The suspense is intense, and no one is safe. The ruthless nature of Felix’s enemies is made abundantly clear, and there were several shocks and twists that I never, not even a little bit, expected. This is one of those books that actually caused me to lose sleep, even after I set it down, because it left my mind racing.
My favorite thing about this book was how it gripped me emotionally. My second favorite thing is how we see glimmers of action happening elsewhere that feed into the main story. These side stories would almost be complete in themselves, given all the attention the main one is given, but they don’t stray away too long.
Overall, I loved this book and would highly recommend it to fans of thrillers and dark fantasy. It’s awesome. Just a lot of fun to read, heart-pounding at times.

Why is this not a bestseller yet?
I enjoyed reading every single word and can't wait for the next book! Five Days in January is shorter than the first part and everything happens in only 5 days. However, the author has managed to pack so much action into those few days that it feels like a lifetime. His style doesn't let you put the book down and I wouldn't say that if it weren't completely true, since I am quite picky about books. I would recommend it to anyone, I am positive the book won't disappoint. The only thing that bothers me is waiting for the next part, but I'm sure it's going to be worth it.

This second book in The Felix Chronicles is shorter than the first and ends with a real cliff hanger.
All the main characters from book one are back, and their personalities continue to grow.
The story is, once again, well-paced with plenty of twists, turns, intrigue and suspense to keep you guessing, and the detailed descriptions place you right in the heart of the action.
It's an exciting and fun book, and I'm looking forward to reading book three.

Felix and Allison try to get back to normal after the events of the first book, but things aren't that easy when there is a prophecy about you. The book draws you on from the first page and I enjoyed the story. Felix is a good character and is trying to deal with tough circumstances. I would recommend this book.
