I read every book in the Fearless series. I loved the first book in the new FBI series. The only problem I have is the negative southern sterotypes. I am shocked that such a respected writer would put that kind of garbage in her book. The character of Will is protrayed as a southerner who is embarrassed to be southern. I am southern and let me tell you, southerners are proud people. I can't see Will or any guy liking a girl that perpetuated sterotypes the way that Gaia did. He proved her wrong, but still the book had other sterotypes that annoyed me. Throughout the book, we got hear Will's opinions and he always seemed embarrassed of his heritage. I just don't buy that. I think it's a slam on southerners and it's as offensive as heck. Other examples: Locals in the small, rural southern town were depicted as uneducated bigoted hicks. I am sure there are some people like that in the south, but they're everywhere. Why perpetuate a sterotype? It does nothing but offend more than half of her audience. Gaia was shocked to see a clothesline in a back yard. What is wrong with drying your clothes on a line? She acted as if it was something only "poor" people do. Also, I did not like the fact that a gay character was introduced. It seems like he is only a gay character. It's for policital reasons only. He adds nothing to the series. It's also sterotypical that he's Asian too. Enough complaining. Despite the complaints, I loved the book. I would have given it 5 stars if it weren't for the sterotypes. I think Gaia's aging was real. She is still Gaia, but she's growing up. She's older and getting wiser. She still has attitude. She can still kick butt, but she is learning not to do stupid things. She is learning to think before she acts. The book left readers hanging. I definitely can't wait to read the next book.

This is really a great book, just like the fearless series.
Gaia and her father are the only characters so far who are in the fearless fbi series.The rest of the characters are all new, but you will love them instantly. The book begins with gaia's graduation from stanford and how she comes in contact with the fbi. During the rest of the book she's in a training camp of the fbi in quantico. She makes new friends there, they are also different from other people, just like her. The new characters are really great like I said before.Gaia will break the rules and that will get her into trouble but she fights back. And when I finished the book i just couldn't wait for the next book.

Ok, Fearless FBI, the long-awaited sequel to the Fearless series, is finally here. So how does it pan out?

It is not necessarily fair to compare the book entirely to the original Fearless series, because while it is a sequel, it could also stand alone as a series on its own.

For new fans: This book is a great, smart read. The characters and FBI recruits all have aspects about them that you can love and hate- no one is "perfect", despite being some of the most elite members of society. There are surprises, and you will cringe along with Gaia as you reveal them and cheer her on in hopes that she can overcome the issue that is keeping her from achieving her goal. You also get to hear the thoughts of the other characters through little "diary entries", and some of them are quite interesting...This book is highly recommended, especially if you like action, police drama, grrrl power, and mysteries.

For old fans: Everything from the new fan review applies here, and you will be happy to know that while Gaia has matured (she is now 20 and a college grad), she still has her same personality, is still warrior-esque, and is still fearless. However, I have one nagging question on my mind. It was emphasized again and again in the Fearless books that no matter what, Gaia would never choose a career or lifestyle that had anything to do with the FBI or any similar organization, because basically, her life was destroyed by it. She was constantly abandoned by her father for his work, observed, treated as a "subject", and the roots of her family's problems came from the FBI (revealed in the first Super Special).

So why, after just one tiny incident at her graduation (and when I say tiny, I mean in retrospect to EVERYTHING else she has been through), would she just turn around and say "I want to be in the FBI, it has suddenly become my life's dream!" That doesn't make a lot of sense, right? And while I understand that Gaia is deeply troubled by Jake getting shot to death, she didn't seem all that traumatized when she thought Sam was killed, and they were much closer and passionate, along with Mary.

Also, the last problem that I had, which someone else has already mentioned, are the stereotypes the book portrays. Even if the characters are lovable, they all have some sort of stock-character personality issue.

But of course, these details shouldn't ruin your expectations for the new series, which has made a great debut that normally is not reserved for sequels. If you are a Fearless fanatic, add it to your collection. If you are new to the series, go ahead and take a chance on this one, and then go back and read the original Fearless series. It's worth it!

I've always admired and was fascinated by the FBI. So when my most most favourite fictional character joined this outstanding group of highly impressive people, I was truly ecstatic! Kill Game is just the kind of book you'd expect the first book of this series to be. It's got Gaia throwing one of her amazing roundhouse kicks, it has her showing exactly how unbelievably fast and swift she is, and just like the old Fearless books it's got thrill, suspense and excitement. Gaia is really still just the same..and that's exactly how I want her to be! Hogan's Alley, the realistic little artificial town within FBI premises in which trainees have to solve an imaginary gruesome case to win a game, was just brilliant!
Kill Game will be the most perfect book for anyone who's been in love with Fearless and Gaia before...or for anyone who's found any amount of interest in the FBI! I can't wait to start reading the second book of the series. Hopefully very soon some of the old characters will come in...

I've been a huge fan of the Fearless series every since I got the first book free with an Alloy order. I was really sad when I finished Gone. I don't really like how this new series starts when Gaia graduates college, because it doesn't really fill you in on what she did during her college time. And I really miss the original characters. I really hope Ed somehow comes back. There is a new romance, but Gaia and Ed are just right. But, it was a good read, just as fun and as has much wit as the original Fearless series. Fans will miss the original characters, though.

After reading and loving all the books in the original Fearless series I was worried that the Fearless FBI books would be a dissapointment. And although I wish a couple of the characters from the old series would make an appearance in this one, I still found it to be just as entertaining and fun as the original Fearless books. Looking forward to reading the rest....

In this series sequel to the orignial Fearless series, Gaia is now a college graduate. She is training to be an FBI agent.Gaia thinks the training will be easy, but is she wrong. She does well in the timed course, but not so well in the real life simulation. And to make training even harder, there's a cute boy intrested in her. And believe it or not he's a farm boy who is forcing her to give it her all. Instead of helping other people, she has to help herself. After messing up one too many times, Gaia gets kicked out. Using her own smarts, she gets back in on probation. She can only become a trainee again if she and her group can solve the murder in the reaistic simulation.

I liked this novel, but was disappointed that none of her friends from the oringinal series was in it. I reccomend it to preteen and teens.

A girl trained in 10 different martial arts joins the F.B.I... Gaia was recruited because she saved her Collage class from a guy that wanted to blow up the party. All in all Gaia should have no problems completing the courses they throw . After all she ditched class to beat up drug dealers, rapists, and gangsters in High School. The thing is Gaia has a problem. She has found out that the people she gets close to ends up missing or dead. When she finds out that she is put on a team with Will Taylor, Catherine Sanders, and Kim Lau can she help find the killer and become their friends?
I liked this book a lot because it is about a girl that is trying to get over the fact that she was born without fear. Gaia is also trying to find out what is missing in her live. It is fun to read how is trying to over come those things and still stay in the F.B.I.
I would recommend this book to a girl that likes action, adventures, and a main character that can beat up just about anyone. Also she is trying to over come things that girls our age are trying to over come too.

This book shows what happens after she leaves New York. She graduates from Stanford in the beginning of the book. Something happens at graduation, after that she knows that she has to join the FBI. Gaia still hasn't gotten over what happened to Jake. This fact hurts her a lot when she is trying to join. Finally they accept her into a training program.

There is a game. A game to train them. The FBI fakes serial killer attacks. They, with a four person group, have to find the serial killer. Gaia messes up, twice, they want to kick her out but she convinces them to let her stay.

Gaia thought all this was fake, the game, the killer, the dead people. But then she finds something that pulls her into something more real and horrifying than she could ever imagine.

Now she has to find a real killer. Its not a game anymore. She knows that everything she does no could save or kill the next victim. Now there is no room to mess up.

This book is a great continuation of the Fearless Series. There was never a dull moment in Gaia Moore's life as she joined the FBI Recuit Program. In this book she learned how to catch a serial killer and did. Very exciting and thrilling book, once you start reading you will never want to stop!
