I LOVED GIDEON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN, I HAD RECENTLY BOUGHT THE SEQUEL AND I LOVED THAT ONE AS WELL, I FINISHED BOTH BOOKS IN 6 DAYS, I LOVED ERIC JEROME DICKEY'S CHARACTERS ESPECIALLY GIDEON, HE WAS A SEXY, DANGEROUS, UNPREDICTABLE MOTHERFU**ER, I CAN REALLY PICTURE THEM MAKING A MOVIE OUT OF THIS, THIS IS BY FAR ONE OF EJD'S BEST BOOKS EVER SO FAR...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!


Loved it!!

This book was excellent. Intrigue, mystery, sex, lost love, etc. It has a fast pace and I couldn't stop listening (had it in the audio version). I can hardly wait for the sequel. It's already ordered.

Walking with Enemies

This book is hot, hot, hot. Very unpredictable and fascinating, I give it 2 thumbs up!!!!!!! Mr. Dickey you are the best.






Penthouse personals

Apparently I was supposed to guess that SLEEPING WITH ENEMIES was the first of two novels along with WAKING WITH ENEMIES and that if I wanted to know the ending of the first I had to read the second. I don't see any reason why a resolution would take more than a hundred pages. The book is rather short as is.

Unfortunately, that's not the only thing wrong with the book. Most authors skirt the issue when dealing with sex scenes, or come at them from a different angle. Not so with Eric Jerome Dickey. His rival those in the Penthouse personals. By the time we get to the third one, they've lost all the luster they might have once had.

Otherwise, this is not a bad novel. Dickey tries to show us why his contract killer is the way he is. His mother was a prostitute for one thing, and she was the one who started him on the road to perdition. She also sexually abused him, and he wants to see her dead. There are also some likable characters, especially Lola, the motormouth woman he meets on the plane to London and Mrs. Jones, who just won't stop crying. Of course, he beds both of them.

The other plot line is that Gideon (He got the name from a hotel Bible) is himself being hunted by another hit man as part of a clean-up operation from Gideon's involvement in the murder of The Big Bad Wolf, a rapper at war with another hiphop artist named Sledgehammer. There is an especially gruesome flashback, where we see Gideon dispose of The Big Bad Wolf and his posse with a sledgehammer.

Dickey is also adept at describing London. For one thing, I had no idea there were still red light districts in the city. It sounds a lot like Amsterdam, another city Dickey takes us to in flashback.

Perhaps it's my own fault for not reading the Amazon synopses, but I don't plan on ordering the second book. By the time I'd get around to reading it, I would've forgotten about the first one.
