I almost didn't read this because I felt so meh about the teen Scully book [b:Devil's Advocate 29244734 Devil's Advocate (The X-Files Origins, #2) Jonathan Maberry https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1483454545s/29244734.jpg 49488502], but I figured it's a totally separate author, let me give it a chance. And! I liked it so much more. (BTW- I notice that Goodreads is numbering this one #1 in the series, but I think Goodreads maybe just did that arbitrarily/alphabetically, since they're not really connected. [There is a slight point of crossover but it's not really significant])I thought Garcia had a much better handle on Mulder's voice, and the mystery was a lot more engaging. I also appreciated the nerdy D&D humor in this one–more in line with what I liked about the tone of the TV show. Overall, honestly, there probably still is better X-Files fanfiction out there on the internet, but I would recommend this one to an X-Files fan looking for a fun read.
