Shadow Riders: Heroes, Anti-Heroes and Guys Who Just Need Their Ass Kicked Part 3 of 5
Chicago
Shadow Series
They're everywhere, Chicago, San Francisco, New York, but these men from the new Shadow Series have something in common, they are fiercely loyal and extremely dangerous. Oh! And they can use shadows to transport themselves to any destination, which comes in handy when you're an assassin.
A friend told me she thinks they're Boondock Saints meets The Sopranos, but with paranormal and romance mixed in. And though I'm not sure The Sopranos is exactly hitting the mark, there is something mafia-like about them. There's a hierarchy, assigned jobs within the family, no one really knows how they make all that money and there's just something not quite right about who things just happen to you if you cross them.
These men are very careful. Their playboy lifestyle keeps in them in the paparazzi's eye and every starlet, politician and high-level entrepreneur wants to be in their favor...or their bed.
Each have been sent away for specialized training. They all have their own secrets. Assassins, who kill without remorse. Their lives are too dangerous for love. Unless they find a woman willing to accept who and what they are. They must be very careful in who they choose because the consequences are harsh. If she refuses him once they have bonded he loses his ability to ride the shadows and she loses her memory.
I love stories about quiet men who hide unfathomable power. The men of the Shadow Series are those powerful men. But they won't keep quiet if you betray them or someone they care about. Do that, and you'll not even have the shadows to hide in.

Shadow Rider
A Little Humor in the Shadows
Assassins with the ability to travel using shadows still need a little levity. Shadow Rider is full of drama, suspense and action (yes...and romance) but I try to break up the constant adrenaline or dark action with romance and family, some of which comes with a bit of humor. You can't have that many brothers, only one sister, and not have a bit of humor with it, right?
The Ferraro brothers and sister have had a very dramatic upbringing, but they've always had each other and teasing helps them bond. So, when the trailer was created for Shadow Rider the actors portraying the characters naturally found themselves looking for a bit of humor between takes to offset the assassinations, family drama and relationships drama. They ended up having such a great time, all the actors became good friends and found themselves doing things to make the others laugh.
John Wells started off posing for a photo for me. I wanted to see how the suits looked. The Ferraro family who are shadow riders all wear specific suits to identify them. We worked with The Men's Warehouse and got the suits with the pinstripes and I was excited to see how they look. Sheila, who assisted in the script writing and who produced the video is a friend and I knew by the "No worries, Christine, I'll get a good picture of John in the suit for you." was having far too much fun. She sent me a picture of John, sort of, in his suit.
John and Katie, who play the hero and heroine, have worked together before and have been friends for years. I knew that since I've also worked with each of them previously. John was in the Before the Dark web series and Katie was in the book trailer for Dark Blood. So, I wasn't surprised to see those two goofing off a little. But, Scott Nova who was also in Dark Blood, hadn't worked with John, and Scott is such a professional and I hadn't met him yet, so I was not prepared for all the shenanigans between he and John. They became fast friends and had so much fun together. They called Sheila in to get a picture they did just for me that they entitled: Shadow Puppet Riders. I was told there was much hilarity with the cast and crew over their puppet drama.
I loved all the great pictures they got that day, but the ones they did to make me laugh are just too cute not to share. I hope you enjoy them!

All You Need is Love…Love Is All You Need
All You Need is Love…Love Is All You Need
That and a romance novel
I love romance for so many reasons, but one of the main reasons is that I know I will get a “happily ever after” ending that allows me to feel good, to hope, to believe. When the news scares me to watch or causes me to despair, I can curl up with a good romance novel and escape. I realize life needs to be addressed and we need to be present in our own lives, paying attention and being active in what happens around us. But, sometimes that takes a toll on us in a way that drains our positive energy, and if you can’t find a way to recharge your battery, so to speak, you can become drained of hope.
I’ve seen so many posts about how frivolous romance novels are. There are people who think romance novels are only about sex and kissing and a woman’s need for love. They are so much more than just that. And what the heck is wrong with sex and kissing and a woman’s need for love? Romance novels offer hope as they teach us love is important. It’s important enough to fight for, to change for. Love is the great catalyst of hope, just as hope is the great precursor to love, the great answer to it.
A good romance novel offers an escape into hope, potential, compromise, growth and love. It leaves you feeling good and positive about life and it’s potential. With so much anger and negativity in the world, who wouldn’t want to give a good romance novel to someone they care for? Give them happiness and hope. And to those who think romance novels are trivial and silly, I feel sorry for you. You are missing out on some wonderful feelings of hope and joy and love.

Shadow Rider
The Laws of Attraction for Shadow Riders
Shadow Riders are assassins who mete out justice, using shadows to travel. The Ferraro family is one of a few “Riders” worldwide, so rare that it is the duty of a Shadow Rider to marry and produce more Shadow Riders. If a Rider hasn’t found someone to marry by the time they reach a certain age then the family will arrange a marriage to an appropriate Rider of another family.
Not all Shadow Riders are born knowing they have that rare ability. When Sasha and Giovanni meet there aren’t enough shadows in the club to realize she’s a Rider, but Giovanni feels pulled toward her anyway. Sasha has no idea what she is, but she does realize she can tell when someone lies. Giovanni has his work cut out for him when they meet. And on more than one level.
But, when two Shadow Riders meet, their shadows move like serpent-wraiths, reaching out for each other. They can feel one another; know when someone is a Shadow Rider. They can also feel a compatibility with another Rider. Often this potential compatibility can be triggered by the sound of that person’s voice. Combined with the reaching and intertwining of their shadows, a Rider will feel something deep within him or her click into place and they will know this person belongs with them. Or potentially does.
If a Shadow Rider claims a mate and that mate rejects them, things become disastrous for both of them. The same goes for divorce. Should two Shadow Riders divorce, it rips their entwined shadows apart leaving one partner without their memory and the other partner unable to ride the shadows ever again. So, choosing someone who will fully accept a committed relationship is imperative.
It’s different if a Shadow Rider is widowed. With the partner deceased, the entwined shadows fade away and are not violently ripped apart as it happens with divorce. Though the partner may be sad, they could still re-marry and they lose nothing. They keep their memories and their ability to ride the shadows.
A Shadow Rider could marry a non-Shadow Rider if that person has the riding gene. Some of the Ferraro’s extended family are “Greeters” or “Investigators” and they have different gifts and abilities. Other Shadow Rider families in the world have these gifts and abilities and may hold a recessive Shadow Rider gene, but not have manifested in that person. Instead, that person could have a child with a Shadow Rider and their child could also end up a Rider.
We find out in Shadow Reaper there are Shadow Rider families and extended families all over the world. Training is often done outside of the family. Ricco was trained in Japan and we learn of powerful Shadow Rider families there. Riders throughout the world look to pair up, with or without the benefit of love, in order to produce more riders. An actual love-match isn’t easy to find.
So every chance encounter for any of the Ferraros could lead them to find a Shadow Rider who will match them. A mate. Love. All they need is a lot of luck and a lot of shadows.

The Shadow Rider Re-Read Wrap-up
I’m doing a re-read of the Shadow Rider series preparing for the release of Shadow Flight on Mary 5th. I invited readers to join me and wanted to talk about my experience, invite you to talk about yours and do a general wrap-up of the Shadow Rider re-read before I start reading Shadow Keeper.
Reading one of my books is like visiting an old friend. With Shadow Rider I love the feeling of family and community. I put so much into the research and set-up of the Ferraro family, knowing they would have a sort of mafia feel, but they’re not mafia. And I knew they would have to be a tight-knit family because of what they do.
I come from a big family so creating the closeness and camaraderie between the siblings was one of my favorite things when writing Shadow Rider. Going back to read the book again I’m still pleased with how the family came together, with Stefano at the helm and the complexities that cause them to rely so much on each other in so many ways.
My top three favorite scenes in Shadow Rider are-
#1. The very first scene when he sees her and they first interact. I love how they were both true to themselves and especially loved the chemistry they have.
#2. I love when all the family, including the cousins, come to hear her out and she realized they are there for her. The family would protect her. SHE was part of the family now.
#3. I really loved the scene in the nightclub with Francesca and Emme. Those three horrible women accost Francesca in the bathroom and Emme comes in all badass and puts them in their place. She stuck up for Francesca and that meant something to Francesca. Then, Val comes in and Francesca can see that something about Val makes Emme feel vulnerable and Francesca is there to support Emme.
This is part of the reason I love doing the Kindle Notes & Highlights. I get to see what scenes or sentences the readers liked. You can see all ten of the reader-chosen passages and my notes about writing those passage HERE
Here are the top three on Kindle Notes & Highlights. Be sure to go and read my behind the scenes explanation of the passage or feelings about the passage and the comments from readers!
My Kindle Notes & Highlights
Shadow Rider (Shadow Riders, #1)
My Kindle Notes & Highlights
Shadow Rider (Shadow Riders, #1)
by Christine Feehan
PASSAGE #1
The door opened and a blast of cold air swept into the shop, chilling her further. She turned her head and froze. She had never in her life seen a man more gorgeous or more dangerous. He was tall, broad-shouldered, tough as nails and totally ripped. His hair was jet-black and seemed messy, but artfully so, as if even it refused to disobey him.
PASSAGE #2
“Buy some shoes and wear the fucking coat. Put him in a good mood for a change.”
PASSAGE #3
Former Shadow Riders often took jobs as greeters when they retired because all were born with the ability to detect lies.
What are your favorite scenes in Shadow Rider? Did you do the re-read with me?
