And in his wake, he left behind a trail of endless, shimmering tears . . . SpecterThe man they once knew is dead, buried in a shallow grave outside of town with a bullet hole through his back. Their assassination failed, underestimating me, my thirst for life, and my love for Faith. I never meant for my absence to destroy her, yet staying gone was the only way I could keep her protected. For … keep her protected. For the last seven years, I’ve laid low, traveling through life and riding the streets like a ghost, never being more than a shadow of what I used to be. I’ve kept my distance, but now that I know her life’s in danger, I think it’s time for Specter to claw his way out of the grave they buried him in and seek out his revenge.
I know infiltrating the Devil’s Armada again won’t be easy, especially since everyone thinks I’m dead, but I’ll do anything I can to protect Faith—even if it means putting myself in danger and confronting my murderer once and for all.

Quinn Ryder is new to writing about MC’s but you certainly can’t tell from reading Specter’s Wake! It grabs you from the beginning and takes you on an Amazing ride! From the first page until the last, you’re on the edge one minute and tearful the next! It has it all! Action, Love, laughter, tears, bad guys, hot guys, hot girls, passion suspense, but most important, it has a realistic story! It captures your attention and heart and leaves you wanting more! Well done Quinn Ryder! MC books are your JAM!!! I can’t wait to read more! Thank you for allowing me to read your work! I Loved it!
Midas was betrayed by a member of his club and left for dead. He has come back after seven years to have his vengeance and save the only woman he ever loved Faith. Faith was devastated when Midas was killed and is on a dangerous course that could cost her life. Will the couple get their happiness and vengeance? A tale full of twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat.
This book deserves more than 5 stars! I did NOT want it to end! Let me start by saying that I am a die hard lover of MC books, but I have to admit it’s been a long time since I’ve been as captivated as I was by Specter’s Wake. This is not your normal biker romance so do not expect the typical alpha meets meek damsel in distress. For one, Faith is a badass chick who holds her own in her very male dominated world. She’s suffered tremendous loss and is finding her feet when it comes to dealing with it. Spectre is finally coming home to figure out who tried to kill him years before, but in coming home he also has to confront the ghosts of his past. There is murder, there is mystery, there is drama & sexual and romantic tension. There is betrayal and whodunnits and backstabbing. It’s everything a great dramatic action movie is made of! But beware…The story is not for the faint of heart because there are definitely triggers and explicit scenes of sex and abuse. However, let me reiterate that they are a product of the story but they are NOT what this story is about. Specter’s Wake Is the author’s first MC book, but you would never know it from the way she writes with such deep, dark detail. The scenes are written so colorfully and explicitly that I felt like I was physically involved in the story! I felt like I was a part of every twist and turn. And you cannot help but fall in love with even the baddest of bad guys because the author gives each character such great personality. I am so thankful to have become an early fangirl of this author and I’m anxious to see what comes next for this band of brothers. Do not sleep on this book! If you like dark…if you like gritty MC…you NEED this book in your library!
This maybe Quinn Ryder’s debut into the wonderful MC world of writing but you would never guess it!! Holy cow, she nailed it in so many ways!! This story is not like any other MC’s I’ve read before and I’m really looking forward to more of this series and more words from Quinn.
Quinn, you truly did a fantastic job. You pulled me in with just the blurb when I read it and still haven’t let go. You managed to give me all the feels from seeing red to falling in-love. I can’t wait for Cipher’s Code next. You rock!!
Specter’s Wake by Quinn Ryder is the first book in The Devil’s Armada MC series. Revenge, sabotage, secrets, and second chances. This is an exciting and captivating read filled with emotion and drama. Fascinating characters and I can not wait for more of their stories.
I have had this on my kindle for a while, I don’t know why I hadn’t started it before as once I did I couldn’t put it down, I can’t wait to read Cypher which is next, the blurb sounds intriguing.
From the blurb of this book, I was hooked. Little did I know that that this book was so much more than I thought it would be. It was one crazy, wild, intense, and exhilarating ride to go on. I’m looking forward to reading more from Quinn Ryder. Can’t wait to see what comes next.
Loved it!!!
OMG, hands down this was an AWESOME Debut MC book by Quinn Ryder. One of my good friends who knows that I Love MC books told me about this book so I decided to one click it to read. Once I started reading this book I couldn’t put it down and I’m so ready for the next book in this series to see what happens next. Awesome book Quinn Ryder!!
This debut novel from Quinn Ryder is action-packed, steamy, suspenseful, and so much more. I’m blown away. Not only is the plot great and the story woven in a way that you don’t want to put it down, but the characters are memorable and you just want more of it all. The book is intense, but more than that, it’s original, and I can’t always say that about books. I loved this book, and I cannot wait to read more from this author. This is only her debut, but I already can’t wait to read more. I need more! 5 stars and I suggest you one-click this one today! You will not regret it!
Debut & Series starter with a BANG!!
This is this author’s debut book and she blew into the genre with a huge bang with an MC written like no other. This heart wrenching, mind blowing page turner takes you on a roller coaster ride of ups and downs, secrets, lies, love, heartbreak, betrayal, second chances, revenge and so much more. I wanted to read this book from the moment I saw the first teaser trailer, and was hooked immediately from the very first page once I got it. Specter and Faith take you on an unforgettable journey to the light at the end of their tunnel through years of darkness and heartache that all began by one man’s betrayal.
I loved this book and can not wait to read more of The Devil’s Armada MC series.
Wow, just wow! I dived straight in last night and I could not put it down! The author literally yanks you in by the heart and throat and doesn’t let go!
My mind was whirring, trying to figure out who the traitor was and how this could possibly end. And then there is Faith and Specter, my heart just wept.
I went to bed thinking of this book, spent all day thinking about it. I was at 70% last night, and I could not wait to get back from work to finish it! A fantastic read! Can’t wait for more from this author.
Holy Hell is what I was saying at the end of this book. I love a good old MC read but this was so much more. You get action, romance, and suspense, and betrayal of club members.
Specter had it all. He had his ole lady, his club, and his best friend. Then one night he is taken out or so they thought. Instead of being dead he is hurt and left for dead in the ground. He claws his way out of the hole and starts a new life until he can figure who tried to kill him.
This is where the story gets real good and I will not give it away because it is something you have to read in order to enjoy it. So go on and one click this bad boy and go for a wild ride!
Wow, what a debut book. This book had everything from betrayal to action to lies. I couldn’t put it down once I started.
I loved Specter and Faith together, once they put past behind them and let their feelings out they was great together. They have been through hell and back.
Quinn Ryder did amazing job on this book.
This is my first read by this author, and what drew me to reading this book was that it was an MC book at that. When i first read the blurb i knew there was no way i was going to miss the chance at doing just that.
i actually liked that not only did Midas return as a new identity but had also gone through a physical transformation in that time to come out as Holden/Specter.
To me Specter was the character i related to more, and i personally would have loved to have read more on the years
when he was reinventing himself
When he was gone.
The fact that Faith fell in love with a man who was not the sexy tattooed beast of a biker , but one who worshipped Faith and she was his Queen I thought this was really nice
It helped he came back GIFs gift to women, but there was that pull that she could not explain between them and how he kept reminding her of Midas
No wonder Faiths Dad And Tank Picked him But the scary part was , so did his killer.
I loved the side charcters in the book and hope Switchblade gets his own story along with Scythe ( SECRETLY HOPING HE HOOKS UP WITH FILLY). But are looking forward to reading about Cipher and the chase for Daisy and Guerilla
Some memorable moments with Hidden Lake and the Fireflys and the Secret with Bambino’s between Specter and Jimmy
Also looking forward to more between Diego’s men and their revenge they want on Faith
Great read and I really enjoyed reading the acknowledgments by the author
Also I give the cover a 10/10
Thank you
This may be Ms. Ryder’s debut MC book however you would not know that unless she told you. This book had me at the blurb! I one clicked immediately. This book will grab you and not let you go. It is intense, raw, gritty and dark. There are twists and turns that surprise you. At the core of the story is love. What can love endure? What would you endure and do for love? Midas and Faith take you along on the ride of their journey from love, loss, revenge and redempti on! This book is worth every minute you spend reading it! It is a must have read! I would give more than five stars if that was possible. I am looking forward to the next book and many more from Quinn Ryder.
OMG…this is one f the best books that I have read. I have read some really wonderful books lately but this one too the cake or should I say crown! I highly and I mean highly recommend this book to all MC readers anywhere. This book was full of surprise that keeps you guessing on what will happen yet. You will love Scepter and Faith. They had a lot to overcome and they both were changed by what happened to Scepter. Just like the description says Midas May have died but from his grave Scepter crawled and dug his way out. Both he and Faith were forever changed by his experiences. This book takes you on an emotional roller coast ride with twist, turns, going upside down and right side up Scepter has it all. I truly loved this book and would recommend it to anyone. You will have to read to see what happened to Scepter and if there is a HEA or not at the end. You will not be disappointed I can promise you that. This book may have been Quinn Ryder’s first book but I am sure it will not be her last. I was so engrossed in this book that I literally stayed up all night reading it and will now need to catch a few zzzz before I need to go to my appointment I have scheduled this morning. I hope that you take the plunge and read this book and are prepared for the roller coaster ride. Enjoy!,
༺ One of the most intense MC books I’ve read. ༻
If the blurb from this book made you sit up and take notice, and if it made you believe that it promises to be an epic read, then I am promising you here and now that Specter’s Wake is all that and so much more. For her debut MC book, Author Quinn Ryder has written a story so deep and beautiful that it is etched into my soul, and I can’t believe that she doesn’t have a dozen books in this trope behind her already. I could wax lyrical all day, but instead I’ll tell you now that if you love MC, you HAVE to read this book. You have to.
This suspenseful MC story of greed, violence, betrayal, heartbreak, love and ‘faith’ is nothing short of amazing. Ms. Ryder kept me on a roller coaster of emotions that didn’t stop, and I just had to hang on for the ride. It was relentless, and hit after hit kept coming at me, never giving me a chance to breathe. Hell’s teeth, I’ve finished it now, and I’m still breathless. I loved it, and I loved her characters.
Midas and Faith’s love was the forever kind. So deep that it transcended death and beat it. On that day of betrayal when he was shot in the back and rolled into a shallow grave, it was Faith whom he thought of as he dug his way out, barely alive. It was Faith who was in his mind as he roamed in the shadows, too afraid for her safety to come home, and it was Faith whom he finally came back for. Revenge will be his or he will die trying.
Two people died that day, and in their places rose two dark souls intent on vengeance. Death is their goal.
Faith suffered so much hurt that it cut a swathe through the sweet and optimistic person she was and left a cold hard@rsed woman in its wake. Vengeance was her only motivation in life and she has her own mission to end the person she holds responsible. She would die trying to achieve it.
How Ms Ryder could inject so much romance, chemistry and love into a book full of the suspense and violence that makes up the MC world is testament to her gift of writing in this trope. Again, I can’t believe this is her debut MC book. It is pretty much one of the most intense MC books I’ve read.
The secondary characters are the threads that kept the cloth of this story tight, and I am rapt that this is only the first in a series. Quinn Ryder has become my newest MC addiction, and I need more. Congratulations Ms. Ryder, you have penned an indescribably sensational book that is as full flavoured as any seasoned writer in this trope could produce. Bring it on! 5 Stars aren’t enough
Spector & Faith
An amazing story by a new-to-me author. There is so much going on. All. The. Time. As the blurb Spector, Aka Midas, Jd, Holden, has been hiding from his old MC since one of them shot him in the back and he doesn’t know who only saw the cut logo on his back. He thinks staying away since the club still thinks he’s dead, will keep Faith safe. The woman he loves. But an anonymous message makes him return to set things right.
There is so much going on in this story you have to read it to keep up, traitors, bad blood, jealousy, competition, old grudges, so much danger, and steam. This one of those keeps you on the edge all the way through. Not much comic relief and a bunch of side stories that all come together.
I enjoyed it even though I can’t say I liked any of the characters all the time. There is so much changing going on you will wonder what’s next every few pages. It is action-packed, lots of club action and a really good read. Cypher is next and I’m ready.

My review of Specter’s Wake by Quinn Ryder

I TIP MY HAT TO AUTHOR QUINN RYDER. THIS WONDERFULLY WRITTEN 5-STAR ROMANCE TOOK ME ON AN ADVENTURE AND WHAT A RIDE IT WAS.
ღ‿¸.•*•.¸ ೋ ೋ¸.•*•.¸‿ღ ೋ ೋღ‿¸.•*•.¸ ೋ ೋ¸.•*•.¸‿ღ
One of my favorite things about being a book blogger in the indie book community is that I get to meet some of the most talented authors and readers out there. The authors make themselves available to the readers which is really quite exciting. So meeting new authors is very exciting for me. Thus, expanding my library one book or ten at a time. Which is exactly why my TBR cup runneth over.
Quinn Ryder is a new to me author who I ran across in a group on social media. From what I understand, this is the author’s debut in the MC romance genre. After I read the blurb for this book I knew I needed to read it asap and hopped on board the MC crazy train. I was super excited and started reading it immediately and didn’t stop until the following morning. Yes, I pulled an all nighter of the reading kind.
Specter’s Wake by author Quinn Ryder is a harrowing, realistic, believable and violent look into the life of a one man in the Devil’s Armada MC and the woman he lost as a result of one brutal, violent act of betrayal. Their names are Midas and Faith.
But more than that, it’s a welcome breath of fresh MC air. Why? Because the author has created something really special. It’s not your average MC romance. Its storyline is completely different than your average MC romance in my opinion. Specter’s Wake is uniquely its own and unlike any MC romance I’ve read. It’s dark, gritty, violent, suspenseful, action packed and at its very core, it has heart. So much heart. And that heart takes two people on a journey. That journey has a name and a destination. And that destination is pure vengeance. To take back what was taken from them.
One day you’re Midas, the tail runner for the Devil’s Armada’s MC and the next you’re being buried alive but presumed dead by one who wears the same patch. One of your own brothers.
Loyalties are tested beyond limits. And one man’s crusade to crucify those who betrayed him and the woman he loves and believes he’s dead changes these two people. One man is hell bent on righting the wrongs and one woman turns into a hardened empty shell seeking her own justice. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Midas dies that day and Holden rises up from the grave and seeks justice of the MC kind. It isn’t going to be pretty. He’s determined to keep the woman he loves, yet doesn’t know his real identity, safe.
Righteous fury takes over and there is not a soul alive that will save the traitor among them. Wrath becomes their main focus and nothing will get in their way of seeking justice. Poetic Justice.
Faith is no longer the kind, gentle, sweet woman who fell in love with the big lug that was Midas. That woman died the day Midas did. What woman remains is one who seeks retribution against the man she believes is responsible for Mida’s death.
To quote the book, “Midas may be dead, but the man who crawled out of his grave is ready to return and find his Faith again.”
Unbeknownst to Faith, her life is about to change when a stranger named Holden walks into the MC bar, The Watering Hole, unrecognizable as the man he used to be.
What happens after that? I’m not going to tell you! I will say this. The dead will rise up from the grave and seek revenge and retribution. You just gotta have Faith. And Faith he will get.
Turns out, Specter’s Wake is nothing at all like what I initially expected it to be and I expected to like it. IT’S SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT. This story, with its secrets and lies, will keep you guessing “who done it?” Watching Holden and Faith get close and become something really great again. And the ending? To die for!
So, here I am at the end of my review. Completely and utterly stoked to be able to tell you all about this AMAZING story. I tip my hat to author Quinn Ryder. This wonderfully written 5-STAR romance took me on an adventure and what a ride it was. This book is one that every person who loves MC romances should read, feel and experience.
For me? I’m now a total fangirl for Quinn Ryder.
