Publisher's summary

As a healer, he knows her body. But it's her heart he wants. For a thousand years, Gideon has healed his people. And as the oldest surviving male of his race, his wisdom has always been respected without question. But Gideon knows that even he is vulnerable to the powerful, primitive desires that befall his kind during Hallowed moons---and nine years ago that truth was hammered home when he found himself claiming Magdalena, the Demon King's sister, in a wild embrace. Horrified by his lack of control, he left her wanting and furious---and then exiled himself for the better part of a decade. Now, with necromancers threatening his people---and Magdalena nearly their victim---Gideon must face another truth. He and the beautiful, stubborn Magdalena are destined to be together, to share a love as deep and old as time itself. But first he needs to regain her trust. Then he'll have to save her life.

Once you listen to Jacob you have to hear Gideon and you are hooked. Keeps getting better- get Elijah next!

Better than book 1

This book has more plot twists than the first book and doesn't have any annoying character's traits. I think the author is growing as she writes, therefore, I'm looking forward to moving on to book 3.

Jacequelyn Frank Did It Again!

Would you listen to Gideon again? Why?

Yes. The storyline was fantastic and I loved every character and thir personalities. I found myself lost in every moment of the book and paying particular attention to certain character which are featured in the other books. The fantasy in this book was almost real to me and I must say Ms Frank has quite the imagination.

Who was your favorite character and why?

It was hard to choose just one favorite character cause I had a few: Gideon, Magdalena and Noah.

Gideon because of he is so reserve yet compassionate. His people respects him because of his age and knowledge, yet they fear him. He is like any other person, needing to love and be loved. I never would have thought his character to be so vulnerable towards a woman, yet I liked it. He and Magdalena made the perfect couple and I also found myself taken a liking to her as well. Magdalena herself is a proud and strong woman and deserving of any man. I could not see her character being with anyone else other than Gideon.

Noah as leading of his clan is strong and fair in all his judgements, always putting his people first. His love for his family is remarkable but yet he is alone. I can't wait to read his story to find out more about him and the woman he falls in love with.

What does Xe Sands bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Xe Sands is by far my favorite narrator. I wish she narrated all the books I read. The woman is a genius when it comes to portraying her characters. Each and everyone had a distinct voice and personality, it was like watching a movie. And the ways she switches between character is amazing. I swear the woman could have a split personality.

I was so taken by this woman's talent that I researched her biography to learn more about her.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

My most touching moment was when Gideon and Magdalena finally realized they imprinted on each other and all the moment leading up to them giving into their fears and desires.

Any additional comments?

A must buy. Definitely worth the money. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Great!

A beautiful story, and once again an awesome job from the narrator! I wish most narrators were like Xe Sands.

well done

Glad I tried this Series...

What made the experience of listening to Gideon the most enjoyable?

XE Sands is a great story teller. She brings Ms. Franks characters to life.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Gideon?

This story was indeed amazing. 2 formidable characters who were at odds came together. The love story was great.

What does Xe Sands bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

the heart and soul of the warriors.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, when Bella was attacked and how Gideon and Lena worked together to save her.

Any additional comments?

Great book...looking forward to reading the next one!

Nice follow up to Jacob

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

yes Jacqueline Frank books are worth reading.

Any additional comments?

It took a while to get caught up to the new story line and players yet very good

such a fun book!

I have really enjoyed these books, as they are a different take on the whole demon, wereanimal, and vampire worlds. This book is sexy and has a strong story-line to go along with it. The main women in the books are strong characters in their own rights, but are made more complete by their bond with the male counter-parts.

Gideon is such a dry character, but made lovable by his fun-loving new mate. Her resistance to him and her final acquiescence is so endearing you want to jump right to the next book.
