I must admit, it took me a while to figure out this book (the back cover was no help) but I gave it some time, and I can see why this series is such a hit. Gaia (pronouced "guy [pause] uh" Moore was born withou the gene for fear, and was trained by her father to be a brilliant super-warrior. The fearless gene seems like a gimmick at first, but over time it's clear that for Gaia, this is both a gift and a curse. Gaia may not feel fear when faced with an attacker in the park, but when she uses all of energy fighting she literally cannot open her eyes. She is also still a lost teenager, and she must deal with the same issues of popularity, friendships, and what to wear to school.

The balancing act between Buffy/Syndey Bristow toughness and teenage insecurities is a tough one, and while Fearless doesn't always succeed, it definitely gets points for ambition. This first book in series introduces several characters, including Gaia's only friend, wheelchair-bound Ed, and her nemesis, the super-popular Heather. We also briefly meet Gaia's guardians George and Ella, but the fate of Gaia's parents is only hinted at.

While Fearless doesn't quite hit all its marks, it definitely draws the reader in, and I, for one, want to know what happens next.

This is such a good book. Actually the whole Fearless series is very good. This book is about a seventeen year old girl named Gaia Moore who was born without the fear gene. Because of this she is really strong and can fight when other people would run when they're scared. Plus, Gaia's dad is in the CIA but she hasn't seen him since she was a little girl. Her dad taught Gaia when she was young how to fight in all kind of styles, speak foreign languages, use weapons, decypher codes, do high level math, and other intellectual things that spies know. People are always after Gaia, leaving her with no time for a normal life.

okay this book is totally cool. When my dad bought it for i thought it was absoloute rubbish but it i sooo stand corrected, Fearless is about a girl named Gaia Moore and she was born without the Fear gene she lives in NYC and goes to the park to literally fight baddies like rappist deranged murders and so on. Since her mum was shot dead in front of her she has to live with George and Ella- who wants her dead, i would go on but don't wanna spoil the fun once you read you will be totally hooked i am now looking to get fearless number 6.
