A review by alexa_ayana
Ryder by L.A. Casey
2.0
Copy provided to exchange with a honest review.
I love LA Casey's work since a friend recommend it for me. An fresh easy reading series, funny, sizzling and entertaining. I was curious about this book because he's different from his brothers. Ryder was so mysterious and he less exposed. But after finished Branna's POV here, sorry LA Casey I will become rain in your parade.
- Too much angst. This book dominated with how miserable Branna because of Ryder and her escape to the workplace. I liked new character Ash, he becomes the sunshine in this book. I almost lost a big portion of fresh jokes from LA Casey in here.
- Couldn't connect with the main characters. A little difficult to enjoyed the first person POV if I can't bonding with the narrator. I liked Branna's protective and maturity over the years. But her character portrayed inconsistent and different than her image from the first book. She has contradictory tendency and confusing because it keeps changing.
- Too much flashback. I liked the last flashback because it was a new scene and very fit into Branna's condition. But the repetition of their first meet and how hot their early relationship didn't appeal to me. It has been already told in Dominic's book. I prefer to read more heart-melting scene Ryder to get his second chance.
- Too much conflicts. This book didn't focus on Ryder-Branna's relationship but everyone's problem. I felt emptiness towards the story so it must be stuffed with various content.
- Anti climax. The secret that become main problem in here didn't surprised me at all and way too simple. The conclusion from their relationship and Ryder's struggle to get his second chance too rushed. It has to be deeper than that.
The ending was romantic, but so predictable. Lucky there is no cliffhanger but may be more appropriate for the final book of this series. So far Alec still my favorite Slater brothers for me.
My Rating :
Star : 2.5/5
Bikini : 3/5
