I've done a lot of things. But I've never killed anyone...until now.

I finally have Sam. I finally have a family. I finally have a way out. What's so bad about that?

People like me don't have friends. So if Heather wants Ed, she can have him. I don't care. Really.

Three years after the events of Sweet Valley Confidential, Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield are back in Sweet Valley and inseparable once more. But Jessica, now a mother, finds her marriage to Todd in jeopardy after she makes a terrible mistake. Meanwhile, reality TV star extraordinaire Lila Fowler’s fame-seeking scheme backfires in the worst way. And the scandal threatening to tear Elizabeth and Bruce apart only gets worse when the District Attorney gets involved.

Everyone longs for something. And everyone gives in to temptation sometimes. Mary. Heather. Sam. Now it's my turn.

Gaia Moore, the fearless wonder, is used to being considered a freak of nature. She's not like other girls. Now her father's gone again, and it's up to Gaia to find him. It's not until Gaia seeks the assistance of the most unlikely ally that things start to get really strange.

My uncle and my father. I used to be able to tell them apart. Not anymore. Because they're both the same. They both want to destroy me....

They say that old habits die hard. I have to agree. Just look at my father. He still hasn't kicked the habit of abandoning me. But that's all right. Because if he can run...so can I.

With Gaia's graduation from high school, Pascal's best-selling series comes to an end...only to be reborn again. Can you feel the fear? Gaia learned what it's like to feel fear - and it wasn't pretty. Now, just in time for her last few weeks of high school, she's back to her normal, fearless self. Unfortunately, everything else is far from normal. An evil business empire is trying to manufacture and sell anti-fear drugs to U.S. Army soldiers. Gaia wants to call in the CIA, but it's risky: It means playing by a whole new set of rules.

In a moment of envy and desperation, Heather Gannis, Gaia's nemesis, allows Gaia's uncle, Loki, to inject her with the fearless serum - and it works, for a while. However, she is growing increasingly distracted and nervous. She approaches Gaia for help. But Gaia has been betrayed too often to let her guard down.

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. Gaia must decide whether she should call in the C.I.A. when she discovers an evil business empire plans to sell anti-fear drugs to the U.S. Army.

I am Gaia Moore. I can throw a 175-pound man over my shoulder, I have only one friend in the world, and I don't own a lipstick. But I'm not a freak. Not anymore. Because now I can feel fear.

Back when I was fearless, it went like this: Gaia meets boy. Gaia falls in love with boy. Boy gets hurt. Now that I feel fear, it goes like this: Gaia meets boy. Gaia falls in love with boy. Boy gets hurt. Some things never change.

Now that she's "normal", Gaia knows that typical adolescent angst is one thing, but not going into a dark, deserted park late at night - that's just common sense. "Normal" girls know not to do that. Gaia had better learn that fact - fast.

Gaia is again forced to choose between her father and her uncle in the next installment of this edgy, urban series. Has the impossible happened? Can Gaia at last feel fear? Having been injected with a serum by her uncle, Loki, Gaia is now experiencing some strange emotions, but being unfamiliar with certain feelings she is not sure whether this is fear. Heather, on the other hand, is more than willingly to give up her own fear gene.

When Sam disappeared, I thought the pain would kill me. Now that he's back, I'm thinking I had it wrong. The pain's not gonna kill me. He is.

Gaia is slipping through Loki's fingers yet again. Is he ready to be his own test subject? Fearlessness is perhaps the only edge he can muster against his twin, Tom. Will Tom be able to murder his own brother in cold blood? Tom desperately needs to regain Gaia's trust. If Gaia can find a way to realign with Tom, Natasha, Ed, and even Tatiana, does she have a shot at being a "normal" girl?

No one or nothing is quite as it seems in this best-selling edgy urban series. No one is quite who they seem. Is Loki Gaia's uncle or her father? Gaia isn't sure. But regardless, she knows that her father loves her and that he is in great danger.

With her dad safely home after being kidnapped and Natasha and Tatiana in custody, Gaia is enjoying a sense of normalcy for the first time, but the kidnappers are still at large and Natasha and Tatiana are refusing to cooperate.

Just when things seem to be returning back to normal for Gaia, her ex-boyfriend Sam suddenly appears after being shot and killed, while at the same time, her father fights for his life as he slips into a coma.
