I really enjoyed this series in the beginning. Now Annja just seems to find trouble where ever she goes. Yawn.

Annja Creed is a part-time archeologist, part-time tv host of Chasing History's Monsters, and full-time adventurer.

Annja is asked by an old friend to assist her on a search for Big Foot in the remote wilderness of the Northwest. Annja's friend claims to know of evidence of the legendary Sasquatch. But as soon as she arrives, Annja and her friends' students are harassed by gunmen, telling them to go home. But her friend is missing. And as trouble follows her everywhere, Annja soon finds herself surrounded by mystery, extreme danger, and deception.

While no history or archeology played a role in this installment, I found the story to be extremely fun. Not as action-packed as some, Footprints is still full of suspense, intrigue, and mythology. Annja makes some strange choices that are a bit out of character, but still remains a heroic figure, always trying to do the right thing. Fans of action and adventure novels should definitely be sure to check this one out. It's helpful to have read the very first in the series, Destiny, just to have background on Annja and her special sword. But beyond that, the wonderful thing about the Rogue Angel series is that they don't need to be read in any particular order. Each is a completely new adventure. I haven't missed one yet, and can't recommend them enough.

This installment seemed more linear and less interesting than most of the other installments. There really were no subplots or anything going on beyond the main mystery. Sure, there were the typical red herrings and a slight bit of supernatural goings-on, but I felt like this one ended too soon.

As another reviewer mentioned, the most interesting character is that of Joey, the 14-year-old caretaker of the forest.

This review is short because there really isn't a lot to say: Annja's friend Jenny calls her out to check out some evidence that bigfoot exist. Guys with guns show up, a truck explodes, and a few people get hit on the head. It really was like a bad Scooby-Doo episode.

I think that this is the worst of the Rogue Angel series. I have been a big fan since i came across this 2 years ago, however, this novel is all over the place with no clear cut reason for any of the things that went on. Its like a different person wrote it,badly.The most interesting character is Joey, a 13 yr old Native American,skilled as a woodsman who considers himself a caretaker for the forest. I don't know what happened, but this book is not up to the usual caliber.C"mon Alex, get with the program and bring Annja back with some real badguys & a little romance.
