Publisher's summary

Forced to his knees in agony whenever he speaks the truth, Gideon can recognize any lie--until he captures Scarlet, a demon-possessed immortal who claims to be his long-lost wife. He doesn't remember the beautiful female, much less wedding - or bedding - her. But he wants to...almost as much as he wants her.

But Scarlet is a keeper of nightmares too dangerous to roam free. A future with her might mean ultimate ruin, especially as Gideon's enemies draw closer - and the truth threatens to destroy all he's come to love.

He can tell a lie

I loved this book! Gideon is the keeper of lies so not only does he know when people are lying to him but he can only speak in lies. If he tells the truth he is in unbelievable pain. Scarlet is the keeper of Nightmares and is Gideon's wife! She can suss out everyone's deepest darkest nightmare but she cannot bring herself to use it against Gideon. They must fight the gods themselves to be together but they will not leave each other. Max Bellmore is a fantastic narrator that brings Gena Showalter's stories to life.

The Darkest Lie

Max Bellmore is awesome. This series was enhanced by his voice and how he makes the charachters come alive. I would listen to any book he reads.
This series of books is fantastic. You get involved with the characters and the plots are consumming. Can't wait until Gena Showalter completes the series.

worth the wait!

This book was totally worth the watch! Gideon and Scar were great! Initially, I was concern about how Gideon was going to only tell lies and allow the story to flow. I should have know Gena was going to handle it. I cannot wait for the next book. In the meantime, I am going to have to re-read the series. :)

IT WAS GOOD!!

What made the experience of listening to The Darkest Lie the most enjoyable?

JUST THE WAY HE HAD TO TALK WAS SOOO ADORABLE.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Darkest Lie?

WHEN HE DIDN'T LIE AND TOLD THE TRUTH JUST FOR HER!! AND ENDED UP IN SO MUCH PAIN BUT DIDN'T CARE.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

HE'S HAS A SEXY VOICE, BUT THEN HE WOULD GET MONOTONE AND DRAB AT SOME POINTS.

Great Series!!!

I love this series! Each book gets better and better!

This one had several LOL moments Gideon's inability to tell the truth makes for some very funny scenes! Scarlet's character was very good as well! cant wait to listen to Amun's story next!
