Resurrecting Midnight book review

Ghosts coming around is not only for Halloween. What does that have to do with a book?

Resurrecting Midnight by Eric Jerome Dickey is a fiction novel in the suspense thriller genre. It is the fourth book in the Gideon series, and if you've been following Gideon's story, you know his life has been anything but ordinary.

We have been following Gideon from London, where he meets strangers, wakes with enemies, and has been dying for revenge.

So, Resurrecting Midnight. What in the world does that mean?

That takes me to one of the most important plot twists in this book: hidden family members.

You heard that right. Hidden family members.

If you've read the books in order, you know Gideon has been living this crazy life. He was raised to become a contract killer, unexpectedly, I would say. We'd like to hope his mom didn't plan on raising him that way, but she was also very intentional when she handed him a gun and told him to take care of something.

Maybe she meant it to be a one-time job. Only Eric Jerome Dickey knows.

Midnight was Gideon's very first kill, way back in book one. So how are you resurrecting Midnight in book four?

"Resurrecting Midnight is all about resurrecting ghosts and family members."

The reason hidden family members are such an important plot twist is because Gideon learns that the mother he has always known isn't actually his mother.

But...is it really that simple?

Philosophically, if someone has raised you and taken care of you since you were a small child, thinking about adoptive parents or foster parents, wouldn't that still make them your parent?

That's one of the questions this book made me think about.

We know Gideon as Gideon, but he's had different names in every state and every country where he's lived. There's even a section where he says something like, "I think this is my birthday. I don't really know. I've never seen my birth certificate."

He's also gone by Jean Claude and several other names.

When it turns out Gideon has all these other family members, you think, "Great. Now he can piece his life together and finally figure out who he is."

Maybe.

That's what Resurrecting Midnight is really about for me. It's about resurrecting ghosts, uncovering family secrets, and trying to understand where you really come from.

Would I reread Resurrecting Midnight?

Yes.

In this book, I actually start to like Arizona. Not the state...the person.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, go back and read my review of Sleeping with Strangers, the first book in the Gideon series.
