Ryder :The Complete 2-Part Serial

Rate this book
The last thing I expected was for Sadie to show up unexpectedly at my front door. A human on a mountain filled with lethal shifters—and she doesn’t have a clue that all the things that go bump in the night are actually real. As I hold her tight in my arms, there’s no turning back for me as I realize that she’s not just the woman I’ve spent every night talking to for the last two months—she’s also my fated mate, even if Thayer, alpha of a nearby pack, wants her all to himself.

Yet Sadie has secrets of her own, and she hasn’t simply come for a visit, but is on the run, hoping that if she just leaves Phoenix, she’ll also leave her problems behind. Except that her problem has a name, and he isn’t going to give up that easily.

This 2-part serial is Ryder’s complete story, and ends with no cliffhanger and a HEA.

When Sadie shows up on his doorstep Ryder can't help but be excited. He's been talking to her every night for months and has figured out that she is his fated mate. Of course she knows nothing of his kind or that the whole mountain they are on is full of shifters of some kind. Not looking for anything serious Sadie wants to have fun with Ryder and Thayer who she has also been keeping in touch with. When she learns that they are both shifters she is ready to run away but Ryder can't let her do that. Because he's falling in love and she's his fated mate but also because she is in danger. With her "headaches " there has to be more going on than they know. But can he get her to stay. ..When Sadie finally settled down from the shock of finding out nothing was as it seemed on the mountain, she started to realize her true feelings. If only her life weren't in danger she could enjoy getting to know Ryder and Thayer better. With the threat of Torin coming after her, Thayer taught her more about her gift as a laighir, which intrigued the scientific side of her. As jealous as Ryder was of the relationship between Sadie and Thayer, he appreciated what Thayer was doing for them. In the end things are as they should be. Loving the shifter world more all the time! You can't go wrong with anything from Cali!

The story of Ryder, Greyson's best friend, and Sadie, Juno's sister and Greyson's sister-in-law, continues a few months after the conclusion of the first book in the series. Ryder and Sadie's story definitely moved faster than Greyson and Juno's mainly because we already had the backstory of the Silver Moon Pack and Juno's unique gift as a laighir. In this book, Sadie comes to learn about shifters, what her gift of being a laighir means, that her sister has become a shifter, and she's the fated mate of Ryder, though she's still attracted to Thayer, a shifter from another pack. This is a lot of unusual information that Sadie learns from Ryder and Thayer and has to digest quickly because she's in danger. Although her sister, Juno, is pregnant, I did not get the impression that her pregnancy was delicate or stressful, so I'm not sure why Sadie didn't call her sister just to confirm the unusual circumstances? Additionally, when Ryder, Sadie and Thayer realized she was in danger, they still kept Greyson and Juno in the dark. These are the two main reasons I rated this story as 4 stars instead of 5 because I did enjoy the sexual tension and the constant suspense and adventure these three faced.

More suspense in this fast paced shifter romance, this follows on from Greyson the four part starter to this series. Not quite as intense as Greyson and Juno but still a great follow on, this time its Sadie, Juno's sister. A knock at the door brings a surprise visitor to Ryder and starts another sequence of events that change his and Sadie's lives, with a threat hanging over her and some medical issues she is not looking for serious right now. Well after Juno and Greyson we know what these Alpha shi8fters are like, and with Thayer also hanging around again it could get nasty. I was surprised though this time around, despite a bit of a play at making Ryder jealous they worked together much more easily than with Greyson. Only one threat this time as well so it is mainly Sadie adapting and learning. Still a great read with plenty to keep you interested, it is well written with lots of subject matter to get stuck into. Thayer is up next hopefully before the end of the year. I really enjoy how intense shifter's are in their relationships, the almost instant knowing who their mate is and I have to say Ryder is very patient when compared to Greyson.

When Sadie shows up at his door unannounced Ryder is both excited and worried. There are too many dangers for Sadie in the mountains where he lives. Sadie has no clue what secrets Ryder and the many people in town are keeping. However, Sadie has a few secrets of her own and is afraid she is going to put Ryder and his friends in danger. When things get hot and heavy between Ryder and Sadie, Ryder will fight to save her at all cost.

Ryder is a well-written plot about shifters, secrets and a really bad guy. I enjoyed this story and really liked Ryder. Although I wasn’t thrilled about how Sadie found out about the secrets everyone was keeping from her. I think it should have been a more private moment between Ryder and Sadie, also I think Ryder should have been more upset at Thayer’s actions toward Sadie at times. Otherwise it was a story that kept me on the edge of my seat with the suspense at what would happen next. I read this in one sitting because I just couldn’t put it down. Cali MacKay did a good job with this one.

Received an ARC copy of Ryder, form the author for an honest review. Holy hot Wolverine, this is the second book in the Silver Moon Pack series. Just like the first book, this book does not disappoint! Sadie and Ryder were introduced in the first book of this series, and this is their story. The chemistry between the alpha male and this intelligent beautiful woman is off the charts. Their journey is filled with love, heartache, and of course, a crazed stalker. This book will keep you reading well past your bedtime.

Ryder met Sadie and knew he had met his mate. After spending mind the talking on the phone Sadie shows up unexpected at his home.

Sadie running scared from a crazy stalker she went on a date with flees Arizona to get away. Coming to Ryder was the perfect choice and to be there for her sister Juno.

Now Sadie is being hunted and Ryder along with Thayer's help are just what she needs. I could put this down. Can't wait for Thayer's story.

This is a two book series that has no cliffhanger. A shifter romance featuring Ryder and his true mate Sadie. Sadie gets scared when she is being stalked by an ex and she runs to the mountains to her sisters house and runs into Ryder. Sadie does not know about all the shifters in the mountains or that she and her sister are also shifters. A fast paced book with lots of surprises, danger and drama. I voluntarily chose to review an advance copy of this book.

This story was much like the first in the series, Greyson. Juno's sister, Sadie, finds herself remarkably introduced to The Shifter world. Sadie has her gifts and secrets that lead to deadly adventure. There is no shortage of love as Sadie has two gorgeously sexy Shifters vying for her heart. Ryder's love runs deep and so does his need to protect her. Add steamy hot sex mixed with intense passion and the girl gets quite a package — an easy read.

Sadie had no idea what she was walking into when she showed up on Ryder's doorstep. She only knew what she needed to get away from.

Ryder and Sadie had electric chemistry,(if that is even a thing). The pace of this book was fast, it was full of action, suspense, and sexy Ryder and Sadie scenes.

I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy.

Ryder...

A delightful great read. Ryder finally gets his book. Dramatic and passionate. Angst filled with action packed twists and turns. I met Ryder and Thayer in Greyson's book. Loved Ryder and now he has a mate. Loved Thayer in This book and hopefully he meets his match in the next book.

5 Candi Kisses and some Shifter Love.
Great continuing story from the Greyson books. I love a good series. Cali had always had a way of making sure the story is fresh but at the same time keeping true to the history of the previous books in the series. I loved this one as much as the last. I will be rereading this one...

Amazing Story

This was such an addicting book. I couldn't put it down till I was done! Ryder was a hot and alluring character from the Greyson Series. I loved him and Sadie from that. It was touch and go this might have been a MFM story but in the end the best man won. It was thrilling and intriguing and kept you on the edge of your seat. Great Read!

Sadie and Ryder's story was a quicker read that the first book in this series, but it was also an intense read. This book can be read as a stand alone, but the reader will get a lot more from it if they read Greyson and Juno's story first. I definitely enjoyed this story and recommend it to readers who enjoy paranormal romance.

Shifters normally not my thing

But I loved Greyson and enjoyed Ryder as well. The soul of emotion rung true although I had wished for more interactions with the sisters.

*****This is the COMPLETE serial, parts 1 & 2.*****

Ryder

I'm totally in shock well I think I am as the last person that I expected to show up unannounced at my door was Sadie. After all Sadie is a human who is now on a mountain that's filled with very dangerous and very lethal shifters. Poor Sadie doesn't have a clue about any of it and it also means that things can go bump in the night. Yes all this actually real. The more I hold Sadie tight in my protective arms, I realise that there's no backtracking for me as I suddenly realize that Sadie's not just the same sexy and sweet woman that I've spent every waking moment of every night talking to for the last two long and lonely months. Also Sadie's my fated mate. That means trouble for me as Thayer, the alpha of a neighbouring pack, wants Sadie all to himself.

The other problem that Sadie has yet to discover is that she's hiding some secrets of her own. I know that Sadie hasn't simply come to visit me, Juno and Greyson for a visit. No I know or rather have a feeling that Sadie's on the run. Sadie's hoping and praying that if she just leaves Phoenix for good. Sadie will think that this will leave all her problems behind. Sadie's problems don't stay in Phoenix and the problem that Sadies' trying to escape has a name. This problem isn't going away and I know for sure that he's not going to give up that easily.

Another great story from Cali 5*
