Summary: Gaia Finds Her Father
Review: At the end of the previous book, Oliver managed to discover where Gaia's father was being held. In this book, they set out to rescue him.

Gaia - Anxious about finding her dad. Still wonders about Oliver. Curious about Jake.

Oliver - Still seems to be a good guy but he must access his bad-guy side to get the job done.

Jake - May have found his calling in life. Wonders at his attraction to Gaia. Respects Oliver. Not sure about Tom.

Tom - Drugged and confused.

Ed - Having fun with a new girl but wonders about hi Gaiabetes.

Sam - Dumped Gaia in the last book but may be reconsidering.

A good book with good character development (not easy after this many books) and the plot actually reaches a conclusion. There is still plenty to be revealed in future books. Interaction between Gaia and Jake shows that the Super Edition is definitely not part of the main series. A good series that has not lost it's edge.

Summary: Gaia and Family
Review: Book 30 and Gaia is still going strong. There are a few more influences from the Fearless TV show as we see Gaia beginning to work with a team (al la Buffy and the Scooby Gang). This time it is Gaia, her father Tom, uncle Oliver, and Jake who must band together and save the day from the man Natasha was working for. A little information given here is contradictory to that given in Gaia Abducted (thus placing the Super Edition outside the true storyline).

Gaia - Coming to terms with having a family and possibly a new boyfriend.

Jake - Still interested in Gaia and spy work although at times he is not sure he is ready for real spy work.

Tom - Must confront trouble from his past as well as reconcile with his brother.

Oliver - Trying desperately to atone for his past as Loki.

Natasha - Still in custody and maybe willing to talk.

Sam - Still in love with Gaia and thinks they still have a future.

Ed - Wondering at the incurability of Gaiabetes.

Loki - Probably gone but we don't know for sure.

Dimitri - We finally learn some of his secrets.

All this in only a little over 200 pages. A fast-paced and packed book that develops the series nicely. Some readers are beginning to miss Gaia the Loner but if the series is to proceed and develop, then Gaia has to do so as well.

Summary: One of the Best Fearless Books to date.
Review: For a while I wondered where these books were going to go and how the author was going to keep these books interesting. After this book I am ready to read another 30+ this is a really great book, and possible the bast addition in quite a while.

Summary: Finally a little closure but...
Review: FREAK finds Gaia trying to finally have a normal life, well as normal a life that a girl without the fear gene can have. Ever since Jake helped rescue her father from Siberia she has been feeling more attracted to him and hopes to have a relationship with him in her "new" life. There is just one person keeping her from her normal life...the person who kidnapped her father, and had made her life living hell...Yuri...her grandfather. Little does Gaia know of the great things Yuri wishes for her and how close he is getting to her...

Oliver is try for a new beginning and that means trying to forget "him" with every ounce of his energy. Yet it pains him greatly that so many people still don't believe a word he says, including his own brother Tom, but at least Gaia, the last person he thought would understand, understands him more than anybody else...

Sam is regretting pushing Gaia away and now wnats more than ever to be apart of her life. But it seems he has dropped out of the "Gaia loop" and Jake is now in...

FREAK was a pretty decent book in the series. It had quite a few revelations and explained a great deal. I love the fact that Tom, Gaia, and Oliver can now be a family. However, Jake/Gaia bothers me somewhat. Their relationship lackes the spark of Sam/Gaia and Ed/Gaia. It was also quite disappointing that Ed was almost nonexistant in this book. He was the one that saved Gaia so many times and I kinda feel sad that Gaia has now forgotten all about him and gotten together with Jake to live her "new life". Well, I can't wait to read the next book and can't wait for the new series coming out on the WB.

Summary: Lacks the thrill of Earlier books in the series
Review: This new Gaia doesn't have that edge that the old Gaia, street smart New York fits her like a glove kind of girl had. This new Gaia seems softer, hanging off of Jack like a fuzzy Koala Bear. And speaking of their relationship, though they are alike physically and somewhat mentally their relationship lacks the spark (or rather the bonfire) that was Gaia and Sam or the sweetness of Gaia's relationship with her best bud, ex skater rat-Ed.
Ed and Sam seem faraway from Gaia as is Pluto from the sun in these last few books. In the past books it was their relationship with Gaia that I though kept her from becoming complete cold and alienated and distrustful of humanity and now poof! They're gone. Now Gaia's basking in the Sun of a new Normal life but it's lacking the heat of Gaia's relationship's with these fine leading men. And just where the heck is Heather? I miss that girl!
Don't get me wrong, Jake's a great guy-I mean he caught a bullet for this girl! But I was skimming the pages because it didn't have the tension and intensity of the earlier novels. Now Gaia and Jake are like a scum butt kicking team which sounds great but it's actually kind of boring because they're so much alike in someways. Gaia doesn't need a twin! This Bobbsy(however the heck you spell it) twin team didn't keep my eyes speeding across the page like Run for example or Gaia Abducted. And Gaia just seems different. Of course she's naturally graceful and strong but now she seems like a sterotypical Jock and if there's one way to describe the earlier Gaia is that she couldn't be sterotyped-she was in a class by herself!
