Fearless #35
Exposed
Instead of choosing the good guy, I chose the bad guy. Instead of warding off the enemy, I moved in with him. And I thought the purpose of fear was to prevent you from doing stupid things.

Summary: Gaia gets suspicious of Skyler's true motivations about her, Jake meanwhile tries to find more about Invince and the dealer "God" with Oliver, Ed and Gaia get to hang out again, Jake finds out Chris Rodke is actually God, and Gaia learns that Dr. Rodke plans to use the Invince on soldiers to make a fearless army.
Exposed serves as boring filler to set up the last and final entry of the Fearless series. It was marginally better compared to the recent ones I finished reading.
1. If Gaia gave up living a normal life like she claims, then what was the point of her trying to bond with the FOHs and gain fear?
2. Communication fail: Why doesn't Gaia just admit to Ed and company that she went and tried to get fear back? Yeah, it would piss off everyone, but it's better to know the truth.
3. What was the point in having Liz gloss over the Cain and Abel story in her monologue when Tom had already referenced it several books ago? There's also more sibling rivalry examples that could have been used instead like Romulus & Remus. Also I don't remembering reading anything about Cain and Abel fighting for Adam's affection. That could have happened, although I do remember that in the story God accepts Abel's offering while denying Cain's which leads to Abel's death. It's also pointless to mention bible stories if Liz herself was too distracted to get the details correct.
4. According to Liz, having some poor class grades doesn't matter if any of your parents appeared on famous game shows. Not only is that just stupid, but can you imagine an exchange like this taking place with that logic:
Principal: Ok kiddo I think you'll have to be held back this year because of multiple Fs and Ds
Kid: But my dad has been on Wheel of Fortune over 20 times!
Principal: What?! That's impressive! I'm passing you on to the next grade!
Having parents no matter how big of celebrities they are still doesn't excuse you from education. It's YOUR life after all.
5. Another thing I hate the parents in this series for is for seeming like the wish fulfillment parents teens everywhere dream they had; the kind you see in a lot of movies. I'm not sure whether being relieved to see Dr. Rodke later showing symptoms of narcissistic parenting a good thing or a bad thing, as I find him the most realistic parent thus far.
6. I find it hypocritical for Dr. Rodke to order Chris to stop being jealous of Skyler to prevent the press from writing bad stuff about him while resorting to shady ways of distributing Invince to people. I guess that's villainy for me....
7. The twist of Chris being God didn't make much sense to me.
Only one more book left to review/read and I will be GONE.....On a well deserved break from reading.

By far, one of the better of the last of the Fearless series. Definitely a few little twists I didn't see coming. Very interested to see how everything is (or isn't) wrapped up in the next book, which is the last of the series.

Since don't have partial stars I gave 1 here but it's a 0.75
Gaia is finally back to being Fearless which is good. Now she's playing Skyler acting like she not in order to figure out what's going on.
Jake figures out who God is and God saw him too so it isn't going to go well more than likely in the next book. I read a thing that has me devistated about Jake, but I will go with the same thinking we have with how Sam went on a certain part.
Oliver is reverting back to Loki for sure. I hate the Friends of Heather story like crap it so stupid.
I am glad that Liz don't know anything but I knew the other Rodke were bad news. I just hate that Chris is. The one gay character and they make him evil ugh.
I am down to last book now. I had a goal I set in May of this year starting in July I'd read 6 of these a month finish in December and I did it. Just wish they would stopped book 30.

More like 2.5.
It's weird that we're nearing the series and the current plotline is so focused on the Rodkes, who only popped up fairly recently. Like where the hell is Gaia's father? What are Natasha and Tatiana up to in prison? Have we given up on trying to figure out if Oliver is Loki? Is Sam Moon just going to keep on bartending in the background? Are we really supposed to care about D? Ed remains the only constant, and I don't mean that in a good way.
Also, I'm not feeling the sudden focus on Megan and Tammie, the "FOHs." Why. Just, why.
