Gideon’s Story

www.read-that.com book reviews

Gideon is the Keeper of the demon Lies. He cannot under any circumstances tell the truth without being in immediate, excruciating pain. He was trying to reason out where he had seen the woman the Lords were holding captive in their dungeon and not getting anywhere. He couldn’t figure out that when the sun come up she was to put it bluntly; dead to the world. When the sun started its descent, she woke up. While trying to find out answers to some of the things she told him before she was “lights out” and having to lie to get those answers, he was getting no where. He had decided that he did know her from somewhere and while jogging his memory and getting her to talk, he would take her somewhere else. She had told him that they were once married while she was in the dungeon of the gods. She is the daughter of Rhea. She also carries the demon of Nightmares in her.

Gideon seems to have some emotions for Scarlet besides annoyance. She acts like he’s going to break her heart just like before, so keeps her distance.

Meanwhile, with the other Lords. Aeron is hellbent on finding where Legion is in hell. She was sent back when he lost his head literally. He was able to come back to help his fellow warriors but minus his demon. He still had his woman, Olivia, an angel to help as well. He couldn’t leave Legion in hell though. He took William and Amun with him. Amun is the keeper of the demon, Secrets. He hardly talks at all because he harbors everyone’s thoughts and secrets and is afraid to start talking and let loose some of those. He can wipe out someone’s memory and retain all their information, which is why Aeron needed him. He was their link in finding who was keeping Legion and hopefully get her and get out.

This story was really hard to read. It is in Gideon Speak. Which is everything you say is turned around. I got into it though and was blown away by all the intel on the Lords and the Hunters. Showalter’s mind is a piece of art. Her imagination is off the charts. When Gideon would say something but mean something the opposite, it was repeated that way so as to not confuse the reader. Once I got the hang of that, I was off. Not my favorite of the series but definitely worth reading. I give it 4 1/2 stars. Only half a star off for the confusing beginning. All in all, another great addition to this whole series.
