Okay, on to The Darkest Lie. Gideon is one of my favorite Lords. When he talks Gideon talk I crack up. His conversation with Olivia in The Darkest Passion was extremely entertaining. If you haven’t figured it out by now, Gideon is possessed by the demon of lies. He can never speak the truth. Well, he can, but he has to endure excruciating pain. In The Darkest Lie, Gideon does speak the truth to Scarlet.
While reading Gideon talk, I wonder how Showalter writes his dialogue. Does she write the truth first then covert it into lies? Does she get confused in the process of writing Gideon talk? Well, I think its fun to read and wish there was another Gideon book. Well and because he’s one of my favorite Lords.
One thing I noticed about Showalter’s writing is she has multiple characters in her books and she writes their perspectives’ well. I never get lost when she switches to Paris or to Aeron or back to the main character of that particular book in the series. She does the same in “Catch a Mate.”
Anyway, back to the The Darkest Lie, after reading this book, the name Scarlet really grew on me. I’m going to get another red dog, but a female one this time and name her Scarlet. Plus, I really like red dogs, because of my Apollo, who follows me around everywhere. He’s mama’s dog.
Well, The Darkest Lie was a bit different from the other books. I say this, because the girl was different. Scarlet may just have beat out Anya as my favorite female in the Lords series. I like her, because she’s possessed with the demon nightmares, so the girl is frightening. What a weapon for the Lords against the hunters! Plus, Scarlet had such a tortured childhood, it made my heart bleed for her. Rhea is one bitch of a mother. I’ll be happy to see her downfall.
I’ll try to not give too many spoilers in this review. But Scarlet’s childhood was horrible. Her auntie and mother, pure evil. The fight between Mnemosyne (yeah I know that’s a mouthful and I had as much trouble as Gideon saying it in my head) and Scarlet was hilarious. Cronus and his popcorn. And yuck, hot sauce on popcorn, no Gideon that would not be tasty, but he is a bit weird.
Cronus does become more likable in Lies, but it made me wonder if there will be a King Gideon and Queen Scarlet at the end of the series? Hmm?
I really liked how the truth unfolds and have to agree it is the darkest lie or more like lies. How can I describe it without giving away the story, because I feel it’s the base of the whole book. Hmm, well, we are led to believe that memories were erased, but it’s not exactly what happened. When the truth comes out, I want to slap those that were so mean and they did such evil things.
On to Gideon, the tall, dark, delicious, tattooed Lord with blue hair and blue-eyes. Yummy, my kinda guy. The reason he has blue hair it was creative and so sweet, but sad. I don’t think I can say more without giving too much away.
My favorite Lord I have to say it’s a toss up between Gideon, Aeron, Lucien and Paris. Well, Paris I liked immediately, because of his personality, but darn it he’s blond not my type. I can’t wait to read Paris’ story. I’m not sure about Sienna and if I want Paris to end up with Sienna.
Lucien has those interesting eyes, one blue and one brown. Well, Aeron he’s the Lord I’m destined to be with according to the quiz on Gena Showalter’s website. A man with wings can’t get any better then that. Well, he had wings, but he’s still interesting as hell and in love with an angel. The Darkest Passion review coming soon.
So Gideon has this interesting tattoo on his backside where they call it a tramp stamp on girls. Why is that? When it’s described and how he wants to lick the same tattoo that is on Scarlet, yeah, I want to lick it. Ink on a guy, mmmm, sexy. What is this tattoo? You guessed it, read The Darkest Lie and the vivid description of it is explained a few times throughout the book.
