Gaia and Family

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.

Finally a little closure but...

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.

One of the Best Fearless Books to date.

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.
