review 1: This compilation of three books was not what I expected. It was so far from my expectations that I ended up not enjoying it. At first I charged through it but in the end , waited to days to finish the last couple of chapters. It can have four stars, in part for the way the author splits up the scenes, the scattered first person detours and the plot, which was solid, but because of my personal feelings after finishing it, it earns a three. I do regret the fact because I wanted to love it, but it just doesn't capture me like other long series. That was another reason that put off , the fact that there are 28 books and I won't get the answers at the end of this one. Gaia herself is interesting and I love the author's idea of her fearlessness and how she included a band named ... moreFearless. Miss Moore is stubborn, private, an incredible chess player and gorgeous because she doesn't know it. She snags Sam Moon's attention and vice versa, so much so that when her life is in danger, she wishes to seek him out for a last minute virginity loss. This was emphasized for much of book two, aptly named Sam. I also wish they had more encounters to build their relationship on because it's riding on a few chance encounters and only a couple of words. Ed Fargo is my favorite part of the whole thing. He's funny, loyal, caring and determined. He doesn't deserve Heather or even Gaia but someone better who won't overlook him. Surprisingly, I liked Heather though sometimes annoying and evil. She knows what she wants and she's good at getting it. She cares for Sam and her hatred for Gaia isn't unwarranted. The whole thing with her family and bad guy is confusing. What exactly is his motive, a crazy infatuation with this fearless girl?
review 2: I was a teenager when this series first came out and I loved it. I, too, was a blonde-haired girl who dressed like a tomboy and had no desire to 'fit in', so Gaia was the perfect literary companion for me. Unfortunately, the books could be hard to find, especially in the right order. In the end, I didn't get to finish the series and ended up giving my books to the local used book store. I hated not getting to finish the story.That being said, I'm so grateful that these books are being reissued, and I'm so happy that they didn't change any of the references to things like Roswell and Dawson's Creek. I feel like a teenager again, and I'm so excited to get through the whole series this time.And this series has everything. A ridiculous amount of suspense, mystery, action, and even romance. Thank you, Francine Pascal, for bringing this series back to life! less

This book was.... really confusing. It jumps around A LOT and it seemed not to really have a point.
