When I first started this book, I wondered where the author was going to go with her stories. As I settled in and got to know the characters better, I began to wonder along with Willie who in Templeton could possibly be her father. The interweaving of Willie's ancestral history and her own story was captivating. On the other hand, the story of the actual "monster" seemed to be extraneous. Overall, a satisfying read.
I've read this series over ten years ago. But I remember it being very good. For the first 18 books. After that the more it lasted the worst it got. I stopped at book 32. These days I wouldn't give it more than 20. Back to the good stuff. I found that Gaia was a good strong, pretty but still flawed character. She was special without being annoying. It's just that once the author stopped looking over the shoulder of the ghost writer. Things went down the drain pretty fast. Last note. The series may be in boxes but I won't be giving them away any time soon. She's a good example of an interesting main character in an interesting premise.
