3 Very Confusing Stars!
This was the sixth book in the Lords of the Underworld series. Gideon and Scarlets story. It was my least favorite one and I had a hard time getting into it.

Gideon is keeper of the Lies demon. So that means he can't speak the truth without feeling pain that will eventually make him weak. Through out the whole book you can imagine what you had to read. Gideon saying the opposite of what he really means and the person he's talking to repeating it the correct way. It was very annoying and confusing and I didn't like it.

Examples:

he said, “I have slept…with very few women.” Many. “All of them made me feel…utterly satisfied.” He’d been pleasured, yes, but always hollow and lonely. “But with you, it’s all physical.” It wasn’t. “I don’t admire your strength…and your courage and fuck, I don’t want…to see your smile.” He did. More than anything.

“Not glad, not glad.” He hugged her tight. “Gods, I hate you so much.” Finally, she kissed him back. “I love you, too.”

Scarlet keeper of nightmares is being held in the Lords dungeons. She is wicked. When you sleep her demon searches you out and gets into your dreams. Only they aren't dreams they are nightmares that are real and can kill you. She reminded me of Freddy Kruger in Nightmare on Elm Street except she was beautiful. One, Two, Scarlets coming for you! Haha!!
In the last book we are left with Scarlet telling Gideon that they were once married. Gideon has no memory of this and he wants to know more. He takes Scarlet away from the fortress so they can be alone and maybe he will get the truth out of her.
Things don't go as planned. Scarlet is very angry at Gideon for leaving her in the prison cell for centuries. She's even more pissed that he doesn't remember her and has been living his life like he's single and sleeping with other woman.
Scarlet and Gideon are trying to figure out who erased Gideon's memory OR is it somebody messed with Scarlets memories?? They will not stop until they get answers or revenge.
Once again we get more on the others in this book.
Aeron, William and Amun are on a mission to rescue Legion in Hell. I wanted to stay there with them. The action going on during these chapters were intense.
Strider has also kidnapped a hunter (Haidee) and she's someone from the Warriors past that they thought they killed.
Even though I didn't love this one as much as the others I can't stop reading this series. It's highly addictive and I need to know what's going to happen next. lol
I can't wait to start the next book.
Amun and Haidee's story! I'm thinking its going to be another 5 star:))
