Book Reviews of Dying for Revenge (Gideon Trilogy, Book 3)
Book Review: 3.5 Stars Gideon Wanted, Dead or DEAD?
Summary: 4 Stars
Eric Jerome Dickey brings his character, Gideon, from Sleeping with Enemies and Waking with Strangers back to life. Gideon, a cold-blooded killer, with a somewhat sensitive heart, has been a hired killer all his life. Being raised by a prostitute, who molested him, and taught him the way of the streets has formed him. However, after committing an atrocious murder in book one, he is haunted by his life and his career choice. He is also chased by the desire and love for one woman. A woman he can never have. Gideon is a conflicted hunter, who is now the hunted.
Dying for Revenge is a slower-paced, less sexually saturated book than the other two. Gideon is on the run for his life. A character, who is now the Mayor of Detroit, has a contract out for his life. Though she failed to kill the killer, her life is geared towards Gideon's death. She literally wants his head on a platter. The chase for Gideon is an intriguing, though at times meandering story, filled with violence and flashbacks.
Mr. Dickey also provides a backdrop of other characters. There are the husband and wife assassins who are chasing Gideon, while trying to work out issues of their own. There is also, the sometimes killer, Hawks, who after a sexual fling with Gideon is unable to not love him, and is haunted by memories of him. And, of course, there is the ever elusive bloodline that Gideon constantly seeks.
I recommend Dying for Revenge to all who love Eric Jerome Dickey novels and those who enjoy intriguing novels with a backdrop of violence and sexuality.
