Graven Bastards MC: Tonopah, NV #8
The Biker's Wish
From shadow, I was born, and from shadow, I will rise ...
They took my angel from me.
She's gone, and I have to live every single day knowing she died and I couldn't save her.
Stefanie was my first love. The girl that understood my darkness and balanced it with her light.
Her ghost is everywhere I look. Her last breath carved into my heart, leaving nothing but a jagged scar.
It can't end like this. I won't allow the men who harmed her to breathe when she can't.
I'll find them. Every. Last. One.
Vengeance? Justice? That's only the beginning.
Merry bloody Christmas.
This holiday season, I'm the ghost of Christmas past, present, and future ... and none will escape my Reaper or his wrath.
For best enjoyment, it is highly recommended that Hell's Fury and Devil's Ride are read before The Biker's Wish.

Wow! Talk about twists and turns and still with a little Christmas cheer. Shadow's story is dark and gritty but given the circumstances, it's warranted. I was sucked in from the beginning and couldn't put this down until the end.

This story is everything I wanted with Shadow's story and more. I absolutely loved this. From page one to the end keeps you going and going. Shadow has you fall for him and then some. The writing and flow of this book is off the charts. I beyond recommend this book and chapter.

The Biker's Wish
I'm glad that Stephanie was ok another had to suffer the same fate as the others. Shadow is the boss and I loved his story. I can't wait for the next book.

Nikki Landis has become my favorite RBMC author. Shadow's story in The Biker's Wish is brilliantly laid out and perfect for this quiet young man who was saved by the Tonopah RBMC chapter. I thoroughly enjoyed his back story, Nikki showed us how he and why his road name. works for him. so if you are looking for a great read you want to The Biker's Wish. It’s unlike anything I have read before.

This was everything I was hoping it would be for Shadow and Stephanie's story. Dark, dirty, deadly and with an HEA as a surprise. I loved it!
Shadow has always had his back up, but he didn't know it or where it came from. When he finally gets on the trail of those responsible for taking his precious Stephanie, all is revealed and the twists and turns of this story were enthralling. This was a hard book to put down and I read it from beginning to end in one sitting.
I loved Shadow from the first time I met him and is story only made him more endearing to me. I loved that for a young man that had been through so much in his young life was still able to love and show compassion to those that deserved it. His vulnerability when it came to the club just showed that he might have been neglected, abused, and terrorized, but he still had a heart and compassion to share. I loved it and give it 5-stars.

I want to live in the Shadows
I swear, this chapter is my favorite. You cannot beat Rael.
Shadow was doomed from the start. Tossed around, unloved and picked on daily. The only thing to keep him company were the Shadows. He took comfort in them. Then fate happened in the form of a sexy as sin biker, Rael. He changed Shadow's life and e Stephanie saved it. Ripped away from each other, thought to be dead, didn't stop Shadow from finding his love. Even if it breaks every one of Grims Rules.
Highly recommend this book but mark sure you read in order for it to fully make sense.
I recieved an ARC of this book. This is my honest review. You will not be disappointed.

Great book! We finally got the Devil's ride again...so happy...lol.
Shadow has always been a part of the shadows even as a child. When he was in hiding from his foster parents he would hide in dark cramped places and the shadows tried to protect him but he didn't know how to control them then.
It was Rael who found him being beat up and seen something in him so he took care of it and had Shadow made a prospect. He even got a girlfriend. They were so in love until she just disappeared and then a body washed up looking like her and she was buried. Deep inside he didn't believe it and had a secret informer who helped him out to lead him to a underground auction.
There's so many turns and twists to get to the good parts. I hope there will be more in this series

The Biker's Wish is a short(ish) story that packs a dark & emotional punch so it's easy to read in one sitting without ignoring too much of life LOL! It's Shadow's story, and it's not for the faint of heart that's for sure. Nikki Landis really pulled out all the stops when telling it, and while some things really made me pause, it was super emotional for me at the end of the day. He fell in love with a girl who he lost in a brutal way, and revenge is now spurring him on as he intends to take out every last man who was involved so buckle the hell up! I'm doing my best to keep this review quite vague because I could never do it justice anyway so it's best to just experience it for yourselves to be honest. Please be aware of the triggers that the author stated because they're there & harsh so that's all from me, I'll just end with HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDING TO THOSE BRAVE ENOUGH!

Shadow and Stefanie's story will hit you right in the feels. These two souls have a journey that isn't an easy road they'll have to take. There's things that are amiss, unknown forces coming together, bringing danger to the frontlines. Will Shadow and Stefanie find their happy ending or will something shatter that possibility? An answer you'll have to find out reading this book. It's an excellent story that hooks it's claws into you from the beginning. You'll be taken by surprise how it all unravels. Get ready to be taken for a ride and expect the unexpected. I couldn't put this one down. Absolutely loved reading. Definitely recommend.

I love when things are completely not what I expected, and in this case, it’s not what happens to Stefanie!
So, the heartbreak story of Shadow and Stefanie has been an ongoing issue throughout many of the Tonopah chapter stories, her death devastated Shadow. Then, there was his thirst for vengeance, this nice kid became dark, then, there were hints.
But what were we missing? Was Shadow really the nice guy? What was his story? We’ve learned that the Reapers tend to have a history. How far would her loss push him? And how would he be able to recover, if at all? Would there be a Christmas miracle for one of the Reapers this year?

”Falling for you, it’s the one thing in my life I don’t regret. You’re my star. My light. You chase away the darkness and fill my soul with peace.”
Shadow and Stephanie’s story broke my heart and had me crying throughout. The pain and heartache these two beautiful souls had to endure continually pulled on my heartstrings and kept me gripping my kindle tightly hoping that when I turned the page things were going to be alright. It’s an emotional rollercoaster ride that dug it’s way deep into my heart.
This is a story that will captivate you, entertain you and keep you enthralled never wanting it to end.
I absolutely loved their story and I need more of Shadow and Stephanie.

This book grabbed me from the moment that I started reading and I could not put it down until the last page was read. The flow of this story makes for an easy and relaxing read. You will love these charaters, they seem so real that you feel like you have known them forever and you want to be there to support and help them no matter what. This book needs to be read and it should be on your TBR list, you will not be sorry that you did.

Shadow 💕💕💕
I have loved Shadow since he first appeared in the series. As we all know his beloved Stefanie was murdered leaving Shadow a broken man. In all honesty I kinda didn't want to read this book because I couldn't bare to see Shadow with another woman because he and Stefanie were soul mates. Of course leave it to Nikki to write an amazing story that has me over the moon. I loved this book. Shadow & Stefanie 💕

Excellent!!
Nikki Landis knows how to take you on a journey that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I enjoy all the details and intricacies that she weaves into her stories. Her characters cone to life. To spend one day in Nikki's head would be phenomenal. Shadow and Stephanie finally get their own book. Shadow knew from an early age that he had special talents but it wasn't until he came face to face with Lucifer Morningstar that he totally understood them.

I have been waiting for Shadow's story. Shadow and Stefanie's story will hit you right in the feels
Shadow has always been a part of the shadows even as a child. When he was in hiding from his foster parents he would hide in dark cramped places and the shadows tried to protect him but he didn't know how to control them then. Stefanie is the light that is the contrast to his shadows.
I recommend reading the other books to understand this book.

🦋🖤Christmas Wish🖤🦋
I always knew something was different about Shadow, he had a rough childhood, lot of pain. He managed to look ahead and not think about the past, for someone so young he knew Stefanie was his from the moment he met her. Yes bad stuff happened but not once did Shadow believed his love was gone, I'm not much for Christmas romance, I will have to say this book is truly is a Christmas miracle it has the perfect ending🖤🦋🖤

Omg, this book answered so many questions I had from other books. And it was worth waiting for. I couldn't put book down once started.
I loved Shadow and Stefanie together, we get to see how they start. Stefanie brings light to Shadows world and is his star. They fall for each other quickly but its perfect.

I've been waiting for Shadow's book, and it did not disappoint! My heart bled for Shadow's childhood, and thank God for Rael! I love him so much! But Shadow's pain wasn't over just yet, and I was praying that there was hope that Stephanie would be found! Their love was special, and the MC Brotherhood is so tight! This story was amazing, and I absolutely love the Tonopah Chapter of the RBMC!

I always look forward to Nikki's books. The writing is brilliant with amazing characters and plot. My heart broke for Shadow and Stephanie and everything they went through. I totally did not see the ending. Loved it!

Oh my heart!
This was an emotional read from the start. From Shadow's traumatic childhood to his first meeting with Stephanie and everything!
I shed a tear on more than one occasion but I also laughed! Who knew Lucifer was a bit of a joker?!!
I absolutely love this author and her Reapers. Shadow's story really hit me in the FEELS.

From the very beginning author Nikki Landis pulls you into a dark world of the RBMC. This is the story of Shadow. Of how his life began, how he was saved, fallen in love, loses it and finds it again. It's a story worth getting into. Don't miss out on all the fun and excitement.

I'm never disappointed when I read a Reaper book, there is something so satisfying knowing evil souls will be reaped. This book has the sweetness of first love, the pain of loss and the ultimate HEA.
