Description:
      Fearless introduces us to Gaia Moore, a girl born without the gene for fear. Gaia's mother was murdered, and her father, Tom Moore, a famous covert antiterrorist mastermind, is in hiding. Now 17 years old, Gaia is living in New York City with Tom's CIA friend, George, and his wife, Ella. Gaia is a prime target for terrorists and is in constant danger, but she is trained in all forms of combat so she can defend herself. Like Buffy and Xena, Gaia Moore is a force.
But she is also a high school student, trying to be like everyone else. As her friendships develop, we see that Gaia is in many ways a typical teen -- when she's not busy getting herself into and out of dangerous situations, righting wrongs, avenging hurts, and solving mysteries.

WHAT!?! That's the end? Of course, ending on a mystery is always a way to keep someone reading. But, it's not such a good book that it's like: "I NEEEEED THE NEXT BOOK NOW!" No, no nothing like that. But, for the record , I do own the second book.
Now, let us talk about Gaia. What did I think about her? Well I didn't LOVE her character to begin with, but I grew fond of her. I still don't love her and, I don't have a very strong connection with her honestly. But, I understand why she does what she does.
Now heres the big question: Should you read this book?
Well, it depends on what kind of books you like but based on the reviews it has on Goodreads a lot of people seem to like it.
I rate this book: 3.5 Stars
