Ratings and reviews

I couldn't make it past page 91... It shouldn't take this long to draw me in.. I will give it another try in the future but this is not worth more than one star to me at this point..

I've read all 3 books in this series and they had me hooked, couldnt put the books down. From the first page they had my full attention, very suspenseful. I finished each within 2 days. I read Dying For Revenge first, fell in love, then realized there were 2 more and had to have them! So I bought & read Sleeping with Strangers, then WWE thn DFR all over again, lol I recommend to all!

I just finished the series and I cannot believe that it's over so soon. I've lost plenty of nights' sleep trying to stay up in order to find out what happens next, will Gideon make it out of the situation. Eric Jerome Dickey as always uses his mastery to become fully enveloped within his characters' emotions, mind, perspective and insight in order to deliver the most realistic fiction one can find on shelves. At times the series can be gruesome or intimate scenes seem to drag on, the book becomes try but this is all apart of life, is it not? Even the dry parts, the not so sure parts, and the "Did he really just go there?" parts add to the overall significance and drawing the reader further and further into the book as if they could for a second step into the Hitman's shoes and learn "22 ways to kill a man". I loved this series, a great change of pace from his usual work.
