If you haven't already read them, it might create some spoiler situations for you. I'm not sure how much I'd agree with that, simply because the first 60-70% of the book is like fast-forwarding through the first ten books of the series, hopping, skipping & jumping through the 'highlights' of the triumphs and tribulations that formed the Last Riders into their family. I'm normally a big proponent of reading stuff in order - it's that pesky BOOCD (book order obsessive compulsive disorder of mine) - but the write-up mentions that the book is a standalone story.

Once you've finished the book and dried the tears from your face, you'll find that's the best day/s and $6 you've spent in a LONG time!While SHADE is the sixth 'Last Riders' book, it's actually the eleventh book in this series. I know I'm a big proponent of keeping digital book prices below the $4 range, but if you are a Jamie Begley fan, especially of the Last Riders / VIP Room / Biker Bitches books, just click. As a matter of fact, you're getting more. So if you are wavering about the $5.99 price tag, just consider this - you're basically getting THREE TO FOUR BOOKS for that same money. :)And by the way - Amazon says it has 778 pages. It's just long as hell and I feel crappy that it's taking me so long to get it read for my review!'Thus began the 'Mom Is On Strike And Reading So Make Yourself A Damn Bologna Sandwich For Lunch Because I'm Not Cooking You A Four Course Meal' afternoon in our household.I'm done with Shade now.

I've got to admit this morning I finally looked at The Man and said, 'That's it! I need to look on Amazon & see how many pages this book actually is, because I've been reading for DAYS!' Normally I can whip through a book (or two) a day if needed, but crapola if this one just didn't seem to be moving no matter how much I read! I'd look at the percentage on my Amazon and it'd still be at like, 37%, and I'd think, 'Are ya KIDDING me?!!!?' As I expressed this to The Man, he said, 'Oh, you must really hate it then for it to be taking you so long.' (This is what happens behind-the-scenes, folks - The Man knows that when I start bitching about not being able to finish something, it's because I just don't WANT to finish it because it's about to CHOKE me with its UN-awesomeness.) I just looked at him and said, 'Oh, not at all. So the other day I spotlighted Shade (make sure to check out the post - there is a giveaway going on!), and mentioned that I got a late start with purchasing it and was only 1/3 of the way through it.
