 I read this book at midnight when it was released because Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare was released the same day and i was reading that when i went and brought it, so i stayed up till 3:30 am to finish Ryder and let me tell you it was worth it, it really was i have waited 2 months for this book it was pushed back last month and i was so worried it was going to be again, but it want and i rejoiced. and it was a emotional roller coaster of a book. 

These characters we have read about since the first book Dominic and seeing their relationship break down from the second book onwards was actually intriguing to see how their relationship started and broke down. Branna was such a different character than the other female leads in this series, but then she decides to go back to being the strong independent she used to be instead of the shadow she has become. Ryder on the other hand we knew he was into some shady shit from the previous books in the series, but we didn't know much about him as a character and to be honest we still don't for a book about him he wasn't in this as much as his brothers were in their own books, that was something that annoyed me quite a bit. 

The storyline was something i had been looking forward to since they started arguing in Alec or Kane i cant remember which one, but it had me intrigued since it isn't a relationship starting out like so many books its about two people who have been in a relationship for 5 years so the dynamic is completely different. 

Like i said i did have a problem with Ryder not being in this book that much, and also i felt it was dragged out quite a bit for what the story was in the end, but i will also say i did not guess where it was going to go and I normally do with new adult series for me they are normally pretty predictable and this wasn't so that was a very good thing. Ending i loved it had me wanting more and i really cant wait for more, L.A Casey has a way of writing that draws you into her characters, and leaves you wanting more and more

In the end i only gave it 4 stars because of the reasons i pointed out, about Ryder not being in it much and about it being dragged out but once you have started this series it doesn't matter because you will be hooked on these strong Irish females and American Boys and they will make you want to know more about them and you will not be able to stop and all the little things that normally annoy you in books wont bother you anymore.

Until Next Time

Happy Reading
