 revenge is best served cold but you're not the one who serve in the plate. Does it matter? Keep watching to find out what book we're talking about today. Kyla Denigno and you're watching Kyla's reading day. Today we are talking about the book Dying for Revenge. This is book number three in the Gideon series. The author of the book is Erdrom Dickey. So the genre of the book is fiction, the theme of the book is suspense thriller literature. Now this is number three but in Dying for Revenge Gideon is still out doing his thing and we find him all over the place. He's in Antigua, he's in London again and you're just like dang Gideon what's happening now. And so one of the biggest plot twists in this book is that Gideon cannot get revenge twice. He gets help on the two biggest rivals that he has and it's like dang this is so important because Gideon has to reconcile and say to himself does it matter if it's done if I didn't do it? Can you feel at peace knowing that you weren't the actual person to tell them leave me alone stop dealing with it right? You got your big sister who deals with it. Are you satisfied with that or did you just need to handle it on your own? So Dying for Revenge is an excellent excellent title. There are multiple relationships, multiple situations in the book where other people want to get revenge, where they want to go after someone, where they have an issue with a person but most notably there are two situations where Gideon distinctly does not get to handle revenge on his own and so how does he deal with that? How does he feel about that? Right? His whole job is being a contract killer going after people who do bad things like Erdram Dickey does a really good job of making us feel empathetic for Gideon. We're cheering for him. He takes a lot of contracts against people that hurt kids. There's a lot of talk about oh I just need money oh I'm trying to get money for this goal but he also has a really strong moral compass where he's like some people deserve to die and those are the people that he goes after right? If you just wanted someone to put down a horse he probably wouldn't do that because he does go after people who hurt the vulnerable people who go after people who cannot defend themselves right? So it makes you want to cheer for Gideon want to root for him because you're like I mean he keeping the streets clean right? He's a vigilante well I don't know vigilante is a good thing. Let's see and then just a little a little bonus a couple in the book are obsessed with Sex and the City the husband is talking about it all the time the wife is talking about it all the time and I'm like yes Sex and the City the movie I'm going to see it with my husband back then when we were dating yes yes yes so his books are so important because they always make you think about the person right? Contract killer husband and wife cool she loves this show she wants to go to the premiere husband's talking about the premiere it's like dang when she's not out doing a job she's just watching tv and it's so comical because it's really funny to be like they're just people but that plays into Air Drum Dicky's imagination that he humanizes his character so well so another underlying tale not really underlying but another really important tale of revenge is with the killer who grew up in foster care and they are constantly trying to get out from under that shadow so it is a sense of revenge where they want to come out and say I'm established I'm better I am not who I was it's like they're getting revenge on their old self on their prior self that didn't have anything that were hand me down clothes and it's like Dying for Revenge was the perfect title because they're the whole book is about revenge every single person wants revenge or something um so with that said would I reread this book yes I absolutely love Gideon as a character so if you like series if you'd like to see characters over a series of stories please pick up Dying with Revenge this is number three of the Gideon series written by Air Drum Dicky if you just like to read compelling stories if you want to see some suspense if you want to hear about antique what if you want to hear about all these things pick up the book because it is so good now Air Drum Dicky gives you enough detail to where you could pick up any of the books and completely catch up you wouldn't have to read the prior ones but if you really like to see characters change develop you know go through all of the stuff start with sleeping with strangers waking with enemies and then you'll get to book number three which is Dying for Revenge okay so thank you for hanging out with me today on Kyla's reading day I will see you tomorrow for another installment of Vlogmas 2022 and thank you for watching Kyla's reading day bye
