Meh. I wasn't blown away by this one, even though I quite like both Gideon and Scarlet. It just wasn't as easy to read as the previous books, which is a shame.
Review to come.

He lies. We get it.
This is book #6 of the series. By now everyone knows Gideon is the Keeper of Lies. He's unable to speak the truth and doing so will cause him horrible pain. Great. Got it. But having the author translate what he's saying every time he spoke, was one major headache. I like the series but this had me gritting my teeth in annoyance. Gideon, being the main character in the main plot, means having to read everything twice. 'Im not hungry' Im hungry. 'Lets not make eggs' Lets make eggs. I felt this ruined the whole book. 3 stars so it doesnt deter anyone from trying the series, but this wasn't written well.

I enjoyed Gideon as a character, but Scarlet was not for me. I couldn't stand how for 95% of the book she was like, "I cant stay with him, push him away, be cold". It made their connection harder to feel.

At first I was much like some of the Lords who didn't spend all their time with Gideon. It drove me crazy trying to decipher what he was actually saying since he constantly has to speak in lies. But I eventually got used to it and by the end of this story I found that Gideon is actually one of my favorite Lords we've focused on so far. His relationship with Scarlet was complex and their shared past (or belief of a shared past) was an emotional roller coaster. I think they'll be stronger for all the challenges they've faced, real or imagined. Seriously, this was a wild ride. I can't wait to read more of this series. They are just so darn good.

Okay, deciphering Gideon-speak and reading as fast as I can do not go together. Yeah, I knew that they are going to get together, but that was quite a mystery. Things are getting interesting (and complicated) in the Lord's world.
I'm going to be seriously bummed when I finish burning through all of these books. I seem to be mildly obsessed...

I thought it would be a bit confusing to read since everything Gideon says has to be a lie - and it had moments of confusion - but all in all, the author does a pretty good job writing it in a way that doesn't require too many mental gymnastics to keep on top of the dialog. I LOVE Scarlet - the one downside is that I'd have preferred a bit more of her side & history.
