The FEARLESS series review.
The Fearless series, written by Francine Pascal, are great books for teenage girls. They are about a girl named Gaia Moore. Her mom dies when she was young and her father left her. Her father, Tom Moore, has a twin brother, Oliver, a.k.a Loki.They are both in the CIA, but they are enemies. Gaia's foster parents, Ella and George Niven, don't want to get into Gaia's life, well at least George doesn't. Ella on the other hand doesn't even like George, plus she is about twenty years younger than him. So you can probably guess that she's in for his money. Ed, Gaia's so called best friend, used to be going out with Heather, Gaia's arch enemy. After Ed's paralizing accident, he was left single and stuck in a wheelchair. Gaia's love of her life, Sam Moon, is in college and of course going out with Heather. There is something you should know about Gaia; she's fearless. Which means she never gets scared. She also likes to beat up people which goes hand in hand with being fearless. She lives in New York, so it would be easy to find a bad guy mugging some old woman, so she can beat him up. There's also something you should know about Sam...he's in love with Gaia, but she doesn't know.
The FEARLESS books always have a new topic, or little thing added in every book, that's what keeps me reading. It's always fun reading these books, because when you start to read, you feel like you're there, with Gaia. She is so easy to become, while reading, but before you can become her you have to know the situation and understand it. I recommend this book to all the girls out there, that like adventure stories. These are great books.

Satisfying
After the long anticipation for this next book in the series, I found it to be pretty satisfying. Gaia finally has Sam, and she finally has her father. However, it has an interesting twist. Instead of Gaia feeling more pain and getting into more trouble, Ed and Sam are taking that role. The book had less of a cliffhanger than most of the others, and had less action like the others in the series. Though it was very good, it wasn't the best. I am still interested to see what happens when Gaia gets back to New York in the next book, and I can't wait to read it.

An excellent continuation of the Fearless series.
When Gaia boards a plane bound for Germany with a man claiming to be her Uncle Oliver, she believes she has finally found a chance for a normal life. But "Uncle Oliver" is not her uncle at all - in fact, he is the father Gaia has not seen since the night her mother died five years ago. And the man who is her Uncle Oliver is Loki - the cause of all the pain and suffering Gaia has experienced since she moved to New York City. But even though her father has returned to take care of her, until he gets confirmation of Loki's capture by the FBI, he has decided to stay with Gaia in Paris, France. In the city her mother loved, finally reunited with her father, Gaia finally feels at peace, finally feels part of a normal family once again. But all is not right back home in New York - Ed and Heather's relationship is coming apart, and Sam is being accused of the murder of his friend Mike, one of Ella's victims. I reccomend this book to all fans of the Fearless series.

This book was the best book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think this book is very good. I love to read about twins such as Jessica and Elizabeth because I am a twin too!Having a twin is the best thing in the world. So my sister and I read this series to see what other twins go through. Read this BOOK. I also think that this book is great because we switch places too!

Great book!
This is the best SVJH book that I have read.By far! It was quite surprising how Elizabeth agreed to switch places with Jessica.I think that Jessica should have remembered that her friends don't get along with each other before she chose her dance party commitee members. And Damon is the best!

Great Book!
This book was great! I have read books 1-10 in this series so far and I have loved every book. If you are a twin than this book is for you. Jessica and Elizabeth switched places. Even though Liz didn't really want to, she was nice and did it anyway. If you have read other Sweet Valley Jr. High books, You get to find out what happend between Jessica and Damon. I recomend this book for anyone from grades 5- 8 th grade.

GREAT BOOK!!!
This was a great book. I liked the romantic touch to it! I am sort of a sap when it comes to romance, but it is unusual to find romance books for younger people. I cannot wait until the next Jr. High book comes out. I want Liz and sal to get togather, but I also want sal and Anna together. Somehow Liz is my favorite character but then I hate her because she always gets what she wants and Anna never does. I thnk Sal was wrong to have led anna on even if her didn't realize it. Well, that's all. Read the book! IT'S GREAT!!!

This Book Was Great!
I loved how this series is going so far! It's confusing and happy and dramatic all in one! It's a mixed emotions type of book. I have read all of the books and I can't wait for the next one to come out! I can't wait to see what happens with Elizabeth and Salvador! It's a great book and I loved it! I also am wondering what will happen with Jessica, that either she'll get a boy friend or if she'll be friends with a new girl, etc. Lizzie is my main person I can't wait to see what happens with though! The other characters I want to learn a little more about like Kristin and Bethel. Well, read this book and the rest of the series! Happy Reading!

Its awesome!
Hi, I have read this book lasy year( i've read no. 11 and waiting for no. 12 now)but i still can remember coz' its too awesome.I really like sal and lizzie to be a couple. They make a good one. And then here comes anna. Anna and sal are good friends for years(since kindergarten).the three of them became good friends. Well not when anna knew about them kissing.( it was really romantic when sal & liz kiss in steven's room)That happens when liz and jess parents are out and they planned a party.They thought its going to be cool but it turns out the other way.The party is getting wild, half of the people there, are drunk. And anna ran out of the house coz seing the people get drunk remmember her of her bro, who died because he was hit bye a bunch of drunk high school boys. and liz invite her ex- boyfriend to the party. Sal gets nervous afraid liz wil like back her ex.There is so much more. YOU MUST READ IT!

Very good thriller!
"Don't Answer the Phone is a very suspensful and mysterious thriller. I liked how Alexandra was the main character. The only problem was, her boyfriend, Noah was acting kind of weird. I thought it was kind of scary when the person kept calling her at the SVU Hot-Line. If you have read and liked the other SVU Thrillers, you will love this one!

Awesome thriller! The best!
This was like totally great book! It was scary, once I even jumped in the air! And it was very thrilling. It also had drama through the fights between Noah and Alexandra. And the great part is, that when Alexandra gets a clue, it can point to every suspect! This is wonderful! Sure, you can borrow it from you friend or from library, but I'll promise that after that you are running to the nearest bookstore for buying this.

Thrilling !
I don't read alot of SVU book's, but i could'nt keep my hand's of this one. It was very surprizing. I never expected that at all. It was scary, with an ironic ending. A great book for anyone who loves to be scared.

One Last kiss!!
I think this Book was really good and in Some ways sad!!! I thought it showed the true side of Todd Wilkins and not the Sporty tough Todd!!!And i also love the Title One last kiss!! I that anyone who hasn't read this book or hasn't read any book in the seris or in the other 2 series shouls start!! -Siobhan

A very good book
This book is extremely well written, and I give my thanks to Francine Pascal. It tells about Todd's old girlfriend, Gin-Yung Suh, who has a brain tumor and is dying. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Wakefield(Todd's used-to-be-ex gotten back together)is going crazy! Her old boyfriend, Tom Watts, dumped her because he didn't believe her when she said that his new-found father was making passes at her. Now that he knows the truth, he is desperately trying to get her forgiveness. Meanwhile, his girlfriend he sort of has(she was kind of a person to take his mind off Elizabeth after they broke up)has other ideas. I rate this book a 9 on a scale of 1-10 because it is a wonderfull, sad, romantic story. I loved this book and recommend it

oh god, this book was so sad!
in this book, liz and todd are together, but another love of todd's gin-ying suh, is dying! todd id overcome by sadness and he and liz are forced to break up (again!). meanwhile, tom watts, liz's ex, is still madly in love with her and will do almost ANYTHING to get her back. but dana upshaw has fallen for him and will do anythin to keep them APART...

SVSY ROCKS MY WORLD!!!
I am obsessed with these books! I can't stop reading them. They are definitely the best best BEST series of Francine Pascal's! I love the way they leave you hanging, but I also get mad because as soon as I finish one book I HAVE to read the next one or go crazy! This book doesnt seem as good as the others (its the next book I have to read) but Im gonna read it just because it probably has things that I will need to know for the next book. I have three things to say - 1) Maria and Ken need to hook up (although every time i think of Ken I remember when he hooked up with Liz and then Jess) 2) Jeremy and Jessica need to be together! I hate Will he needs to crawl back to Melissa! What is Jessica's problem? Why does she keep thinking of him after all thats happened? It's driving me nuts. If I were Jess I would so want Jeremy!! 3) LIZ AND CONNER NEED TO GET TOGETHER I READ THESE BOOKS BECAUSE OF THEM!!! I REREAD ALL OF THEIR SCENES!! PLEASE LET THEM HOOK UP!!

BEST BOOK YET
I'm a 14 year old reader and I LOVE SVHSY. It is the best SV series yet. I liked this book, because Now that Connor and Elizabeth aren't together, I pay more attention to everything else. I used to just skim through first and find the Conner and Liz parts, then go back and read it. My favorite part IS anything with Liz or Conner. I hope that Ken and Maria get together, and that Liz and conner get back together. Conner needs to apologize to Liz and Megan.

8th Book in the SVH: Senior Year Series
Following the dramatic Elizabeth-Conner scene in the previous book (#7: "Boy Meets Girl"), Elizabeth Wakefield is back at the Fowler's mansion after discovering Conner McDermott's mother is an alcoholic, and Conner refuses to discuss it with anyone--especially Liz. Not everything is sour for Liz, though, in this book. Maria Slater makes the first bold move of patching things up with her concerning the boy trouble they had over Conner. It's great to finally see these two friends again.

And speaking of Maria, she's asked to star in the school play, "Courting Priscilla", alongside Jessica Wakefield and Tia Ramirez. However, Maria's stardom is starting to go to her head, and her two new friends may not have enough patience to put up with it, not that I blame them.

There is some added excitement in this eighth book. It looks like Jessica has a secret admirer who's been giving her expensive gifts and poetry--and it's not her boyfriend, Jeremy Aames. (Hint: The mystery man has been interested in Jessica before. But watch out for the red herring.)

Another notable mention: Angel Desmond, Tia's longtime older boyfriend, makes his "main character" debut in "Maria Who?". He's recently taken a second job as a bartender at the local hangout (the Riot) to Tia Ramirez's dismay, because not only does it keep him from her, but Angel's boss is extremely strict and won't allow him to converse with any of his friends while he's working. Besides his hectic schedule, the biggest problem I saw was Tia's unnecessary pressure on Angel. I mean, why does she expect him to pay for everything? Why doesn't she get a part-time job and help out with their dates, especially with their big anniversary coming up?

Aside from that, "Maria Who?" was pretty good, although it didn't really spotlight the "Nina issue" like the synopsis on the back cover described.

Changing the subject: If you like SVH: Senior Year books, then there's another teen romance series you might want to check out: Love Stories. I haven't read any of them yet, but I've heard they're pretty good.

almost good
i rate this book 4 stars i mean come on what in the world jessica was thinking anyway? she shouldn't have done that to tom 'coz she did not even thing of what will happen in the future. And what was scott doing anyway the day he and liz leaves it was like scott wanted to be at denver before they even ride to the plane. elizabeth's decision is good also because she's going to making a big mistake if she have the wrong choice.

FINALLY!!!
I am soooo happy that a book like this was published. I have read every book in this series and this was probably the best one! It's about time Liz and Tom got back together. This book was sad as Liz relived all her memories of the time she and Tom shared. I almost cried when it looked liked Tom was headed for a nervous breakdown. Jessica was hilarious when she admitted to Tom that he was a good kisser. I just hope she doesn't develop a crush on him in future books. I doubt she will though. Liz and Tom better stay together from now on, now that they have reunited. That was the best part of the whole book when he recognized the locket and he went onto the plane. I'm so glad Dana and Scott are out of the picture. They were so annoying. I can't wait until 'Elizabeth-New York' comes out so I can see what happens with her and Tom!!

I LUV THIS BOOK!
This book was probably one of the most exciting SVUs that I have ever read (I've read through the whole serious including thrillers...u could say I'm OBSESSED!) well anyways....I'm soo happy that after all this time Tom and Liz FINALLY got back together! Its so romantic and exciting how they finally confess their true love to each other exactly as the plane is about to take off whisking Elizabeth away with the evil and horrible sleaze also known as Scott Sinclair. I was realieved when they finally told each other they Loved each other because I mean I have been reading "Your not my sister", "Breaking Away", and finally this one "Good-bye Elizabeth" and i am so glad they are finally together again because i definatly think that Tom and Liz belong together (this sounds tacky but its like they have a spiritual connection as well as a physical one) So newayz..if u like the SVU books this is a must read must have book! Enjoy peoplez!

This book was OK...
first of all, the plot. tom gets this scolarship thing to work with nicholas des perdus, a big journalist for new orleans. naturally, he takes his picture of liz with him (awww...). when nicholas sees the picture, he seems transfixed by it. then tom notices it disappears, only the reappear the next night with a spot on it. it seems liz looks exactly like some long-lost love of nicholas's. a side plot is jessica competing with alison to get a spare room at theta house. the good points of this book are how the writer changes the style when it's nicholas thinking. i just find that really cool. also it's funny how much tom is mooning over elizabeth... towards the end, he walks up to jessica and a group of thetas, and he's like "have you-" and they all say in unison "seen elizabeth?". that was stupid, but funny. another good point is that it's an svu book!! as an addict, i love it anyway!! the bad points are... 1) nicholas is a vampire. how realistic. 2) in general not much happens in the book until the last, like, 15 pages. 3) it takes too long to get to the point. 4) ANOTHER girl who looks just like liz and jess? there's liz, jess, margo, her twin, and now lizette (nicholas's long-lost love). 5) it's way too unrealistic even for me!! this book is not the best, but it's ok. i reccomend it mainly to big fans of svu.

Not bad at all!
I liked this book. I can't say it's the best ever, because I haven't read so many. This is my third SVU book. Everything starts when Tom gets an internship in New Orleans, working with a young, but famous, journalist. He puts a picture of Elizabeth on his desktable, and the problems - and fun for the reader - start. My favourite part was definitely where Tom figures out that, well, SOMEONE, is a vampire. You can't stop reading until you finished the book.

love the vampires.
I'm a big fan of the sweetvally books.Thier relly exciting,altough I really didn't expect Elizabeth to fall for the vampire act but I thought it was cool , it has alot of twists and turns , it was exicting.

Another good SVH Senior Year book
I liked this one... although it was kinda boring in the beginning with the whole Angel and his money problem, but after a while, you'll turn page after page wanting more. I can't wait to find out what happens with Jessica and Will. Jeremy was kinda mean in this book. Personally, I would rather have Jess and Will together than Jessica and Jeremy. And PLEASE, let there be a Liz Conner part in the next book!! Or, have Liz date another guy, like Todd. (= Can't wait for the next book! Trust me, having to wait about a month for the next SVH Senior Year book to come out, is worth it! I'm totally hooked!

Interesting, FUnny, Realistic, Romantic!
This book is reall great! The whole Angel thing is so realistic, and the way he's pressured with the money situation is so well- written it makes you wonder what you'd do in his shoes. Tia is also worried that she's become part of the problem. Jessica loves both Will and Jeremy. Even though Will ruined her life, she still has a thing for him. I am a fan of both Will and Jeremy, but I cracked up when I read the part where Jeremy wrote a letter to, you know, and ended it off with "If you need someone else to pick on, there's this guy Will Simmons...", I fell over laughing! I love both Jeremy and Will, but it was mad funny! Anyway, this book is great! Jess falls for Will, but is nervous to admit it cause she's afraid she's betrayign Jeremy. Liz is all depressed about Conner. COnner is having problems with his mother, who's suddenly acting strange. The whole Will/Jessica/Jeremy love triangle is well written. The Angel situation with his money and Tia is well written. ALso, the funny thing Jeremy wrote is well written. This book is great!

Great, Funny, and Realistic
This book is great! Angel is dealing with his money problems, Tia is dealing with Angel, Jessica is dealing with Will and Jeremy, Liz is dealing with Conner, Will is dealing with Jessica, Conner is dealing with his mom, Jeremy is dealing with Jessica, Andy is dealing with himself, and they are also dealing with the kidnapping thing. Also, one part that caught my eye is the part where Jeremy writes his letter to God, and ends it with, "If you need soemone else to torture, there's this guy Will Simmons...", showing his rivalry with Will. Now I am a fan of both Will and Jeremy, btu that line cracked me up. Anyway, this book is great!

Mixed Feeling
Now that Sam is miraculously back from the dead I don't know how to feel about the series anymore. I guess I should have expected Francine to add this twist but Ed and Gaia were SO perfect together. Why did she have to bring Sam back and add more stuff to this complicated mess?? It doesn't help that Gaia stood Ed up just for Sam. I really don't want Sam and Gaia to get back anymore. I used to like the idea. When Sam first died it was like a bomb had dropped, and now that he is suddenly back alive I don't know what to think anymore. It doesn't help that Gaia is keeping Sam's return a secret from Ed. I can just see the breakup coming. The new character Jake is also a mystery. He is probably a replacement for the dead Josh. It seems whenever the series starts getting better a new twist just has to happen and once again we are strung into Gaia's messed up life again. Plus Natasha and Tiatiana are starting to act suspicious again and I'm screaming my head off because I don't need another George to pop up again. The ending was yet another cliffhanger and once again I can't wait to find out what happens next. Unfortunately Sam's return has really messed thing up. Why did he have to come back? I love him but he is really better dead.

Not bad, but...
'Lost' is definately an improvement over #23 Fear, and a couple of the previous volumes. I skipped #24 (Betrayed), and read this one first because I found it at the library.

I was surprised!
I think the plot and overall 'feel' now has greatly changed, because now I felt more for Gaia in this book. I think it's due in part that her and Ed are back together. But now that Sam....

Read this book for yourself, and you be the judge.

Why? Oh why?
Why? is my only question.

Why did Pascal have to bring Sam back? Yes I know it should make for an interesting twist. But for God's sake Ed and Gaia's relationship was just starting to blossom and grow. And now we have Sam thrown into the mix.

Natasha and Tatiana are acting suspicious. God please don't let them be bad guys because we all know how stupid and tiring that would be.

The idea of something happening between Sam and Gaia (although we know it'll probably happen) makes my skin itch. I hope things will not end up getting even messier and make me long for the series to finally end. Despite my mixed feelings over Lost I can't wait to read Escape(Fearless # 26) to see what the future shall bring us.
