Riley is a fiery redhead from Texas and once she lets loose, you better not be in her way.īut Emerson and Riley work well together. She is nearly the exact opposite of Lizzy. I’m not saying that the characters are much alike, just that I get the same feeling.Įmerson Knight doesn’t have any of the same mystical powers that Diesel has, but, then again, there might be a little something going on there, and Riley Moon is not anything like Lizzy. I got the same vibe from this book as I had when I read some of the Lizzy and Diesel books. Curious Minds is the beginning of what promises to be another fun one.
