ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date

Johnnie’s brutal obsession comes to a head, culminating in a violent ambush and a twisted betrayal that puts the club’s survival at stake. CJ faces tough life-and-death choices as Rebel comes to terms with a new future for herself.

Differences must be put aside if the MC is to bounce back, but some wrongdoings are too grave to recover from. The lines between family and club are blurrier than ever, and the cost of loyalty may be higher than anyone anticipated.

••••••

REVIEW: RAMPAGE Part 2: EXPLOSION is the ninth instalment in Kathryn C Kelly’s contemporary, adult DEATH DWELLERS MC: LEGACY GENERATION dark MC series, a spin off set in the author’s DEATH DWELLERS MC world focusing on the multi-generational family, and dysfunctional membership in the Death Dwellers MC. Most of the original couples plays a significant role throughout the legacy series. RAMPAGE Part 2: EXPLOSION should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events of RAMPAGE : BOILING POINT. I recommend having a working knowledge of the series and the characters as much of the current timeline is as of a direct result from the previous instalments in both series.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including strong language, graphic violence and SA, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers. Many of the main characters are under sixteen years of age but the series is intended for adult readers.

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives including but not limited to club president Christopher ‘Outlaw’ Caldwell and his adopted son Diesel, as well as Outlaw’s sister in law Kendall, RAMPAGE Part 2: EXPLOSION follows several intersecting pathways, betrayals and vengeance all culminating in the dysfunctional, erratic and unorthodox family dynamics. Questions of parentage and lineage are paramount in this instalment as the MC members come together in an effort to uncover the truth, as genealogy and DNA reveal the numerous interconnected, and indeterminate familial relations that have gone unknown. Meanwhile, Diesel Caldwell, Meggie and Outlaw’s ‘adopted son’ life choices have not endeared the thirty year old lawyer to anyone including Meggie and Outlaw’s daughter Rebel, but Diesel’s future is no longer under his control, and betrayal will come with a deadly ending.

RAMPAGE Part 2: EXPLOSION, like the previous instalments, is a dark, graphic and dramatic story of betrayal and vengeance, violence and murder, secrets and lies, jealousy and infidelity, family and relationships. The character driven premise is gritty, tragic, and explicit,; the characters are unlikeable, questionable, problematic and disrespectful-there are no redeeming qualities for anyone, even the younger children are controversial, forced to behave like animals to survive. The language is offensive, graphic and shocking-heed the trigger warnings-this series is not for everyone. RAMPAGE part 2: EXPLOSION ends on a cliff hanger -you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release December 24, 2025

Christopher has reaped what he sowed in his marriage and, by extension, the club. Things between the heads of the Caldwell clan are returning to normal, though life at large remains hectic. Megan’s drastic change inspires Christopher’s next move.

CJ struggles to find his way after so many upheavals. Ryan’s deceit finally catches up to him. Axel is concerned that something will happen to send his mother away for good, so he takes matters into his own hands. Johnnie’s treachery has an unintended victim, one that neither he nor Rory ever considered. Diesel and CJ are at each other’s necks, and neither is keen to back down. The girl at the center of it all? Rebel. Jana’s presence adds tension. Diesel still intends to marry her, but he can’t get Rebel off his mind, much to everyone’s chagrin. Christopher experiences déjà vu as his sons’ rivalry starts to mirror what played out between him and Snake so many years ago.

Meanwhile, forced by a club vote, Christopher seeks an uneasy partnership with Bash and the Scorpions, though mistrust is high. Everyone wants peace, but the path there isn’t easy. As bullshit runs amok, bodies and betrayal pile up. Things reach a boiling point, making a last alliance between the Death Dwellers and the American Scorpions unlikely.

REVIEW:RAMPAGE: BOILING POINT is the eighth instalment in Kathryn C Kelly’s contemporary, adult DEATH DWELLERS MC: LEGACY dark, MC series, a spin off set in the author’s DEATH DWELLERS MC world focusing on the multi-generational family, and dysfunctional membership in the Death Dwellers MC. Most of the original couples plays a significant role throughout the legacy series. Covering but a couple of days in the life, RAMPAGE: BOILING POINT is part one of the two part RAMPAGE. I recommend having a working knowledge of the series and the characters, as much of the current timeline is as of a direct result from the previous instalments in both series. RAMPAGE: BOILING POINT should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of book seven REMISS.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including strong language, graphic violence and SA, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers. Many of the main characters are under sixteen years of age but the series is intended for adult readers.

Told from numerous omniscient third person perspectives including club president Christopher ‘Outlaw’ Caldwell and his adopted son Diesel, RAMPAGE: BOILING POINT advances the series but a few days, and continues to focus on the flawed, dysfunctional and unstable family dynamics of the member of the Death Dwellers MC, and the large extended and unorthodoxly interconnected Caldwell family. Christopher ‘Outlaw’ Caldwell continues to struggle with his tenuous hold on the MC founded by his grandfather, and his relationship with the woman who controls his heart. The membership in the Death Dwellers MC is splintering along with the fluctuating support of the people Christopher trusted, watching from the sidelines as the next generation begins to take control.

Meanwhile, Christopher and Meggie’s fourteen year old daughter Rebel is battling between head and heart, both loving and hating a much older man she considers family, a man who is about to destroy every aspect of her soul. Heartsick and heartbroken Rebel is forced to suffer the desolation of a friendship and love are broken beyond repair.

RAMPAGE: BOILING POINT follows several intersecting pathways revealing old wounds, personal betrayal, jealousy and greed. Christopher is unprepared for the spiral he is both participating in, and witnessing, a spiral that threatens any chance of happiness for everyone involved.

The large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters are questionable, destructive, obnoxious, wretched, atypical, and problematic. There are few redeeming qualities; no one is immune to betrayal and revenge; even the youngest find themselves both predator and prey, when vengeance is dark and deadly.

RAMPAGE: BOILING POINT is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, secrets and lies, violence and death, jealousy and greed. The character driven premise is dramatic, dark, gritty and unconventional; the characters are disrespectful, unlikeable yet determined and desperate. The language is offensive, graphic and shocking-heed the trigger warnings-this series is not for everyone. RAMPAGE: BOILING POINT ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

Christopher discovers that actions have consequences, and he’ll do anything to right his wrongs and get his wife back. If he’d known Megan walking away was a possibility, he would’ve reined in his bullshit ages ago.

Against the backdrop of an MC in turmoil, Christopher faces his ultimate fear: losing Megan because of his own f*ckery.

Will he convince her to give him another chance? Or has he lost her for good?

••••••

REVIEW: REMISS is the seventh instalment in Kathryn C Kelly’s contemporary, adult DEATH DWELLERS MC : LEGACY dark, MC series, set in the author’s DEATH DWELLERS MC world. REMISS, like the previous instalments focuses on the multi-generational and dysfunctional membership in the Death Dwellers MC. Most of the original couples from the DEATH DWELLERS MC series play a significant role throughout the Legacy series.I recommend having a working knowledge of the series and the couples, as a number of the events in the current timeline are as of a direct result from previous instalments in both series. Many of the characters are under sixteen years of age, but the series is intended for adult readers.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including graphic violence, strong language and questionable themes, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives including club president Christopher ‘Outlaw’ Caldwell and his wife Meggie, REMISS continues to focus on the dysfunctional dynamics of the Death Dwellers MC, their embattled and embittered interconnected families, and a dangerous and deadly fight for power, control, and money . Meggie, as Christopher’s wife, is the queen, but a queen who is tired of her husband’s secrets and lies. Meggie is not a member of the MC but has a controlling interest in more ways than one, and it is that interest that has placed several targets on Meggie’s back, targets directed by the people she knows. As Christopher continues to spiral, Meggie is determined to ‘remove’ the baggage and the ‘vitriol’ that threaten her family, and in this, Christopher takes aim at those threatening to destroy their life.

The world building is detailed and complex, dark and unconventional. As the story unfolds, many of the past secrets and lies are revealed, allowing the characters to adjust to the truth, wherein the reader will relish knowing the connections and some of the backstory.

There is, yet again, a large ensemble cast of questionable, problematic, unlikeable, and violent secondary and supporting characters, many of whom have been initiating actions to take down the man in charge.

REMISS, like all of the previous instalments is dark, gritty, graphic, edgy ,dramatic and often cringeworthy. There is graphic violence and raw language, accusations, jealousy, fear, suspicion, betrayal, and vengeance, secrets and lies, death and destruction, forgiveness and love. The premise is twisted, dark and tragic; the language is graphic, strong, and may be offensive to some readers -even the children as young as ten use offensive language and violence; the characters are deviant, brutal, eccentric and unorthodox.

Heed my warning, REMISS and the Death Dwellers MC series is not for everyone. There are no hearts and flowers, or happily ever afters-there is always something or someone determined to destroy.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Re-release October 9, 2025

Noah Keegan lives life just as he pleases: as a scuba-dive enthusiast with a love of the finest things in life and beautiful women, as well as an art of closing deals. He’s CEO of Keegan Enterprises and has it all—looks, an Upper East Side entitlement, and savage charisma. With the 20th anniversary of his mother’s death approaching, Noah wants to create a perfume in her honor. Ryan Hagen is perfect. But she sets Noah’s blood to boiling in more ways than one.

When Ryan meets Noah, she realizes every sordid, narrow-minded allegation against the billionaire CEO is true! She has a lot riding on the success of this project, so there’s no way in hell she’ll allow Noah Keegan to deter her dreams. If only he wasn’t too sexy for his own damn good and her peace of mind, her plans would be so easy.

••••••

REVIEW: SAVAGE SUIT by Kathryn C Kelly is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, erotic, romance story line focusing on thirty-two year old, billionaire businessman Noah Keegan,and twenty-six year old advertising executive Ryan Hagen.

NOTE: SAVAGE SUIT was originally released as part of the multi-authored COCKY HERO CLUB series. Due to the nature of the story line premise, including strong language, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Noah and Ryan) SAVAGE SUIT follows the building but acrimonious relationship between thirty-two year old, billionaire businessman Noah Keegan,and twenty-six year old advertising executive Ryan Hagen. Having lost her job in the advertising industry to corporate downsizing and struggling finances, Ryan Hagen was overjoyed with a chance to interview with Keegan Enterprises but from the outset nothing went according to plan, and the fall-out over the next few months were tantamount to professional suicide. As the head of the new perfume line in memory of Noah’s mother, Ryan finds herself facing off with more than the usual number of misogynist billionaires, including the man with whom she will fall in love but the competition and fight for control finds our heroine a pawn in the world of high finance and powerful yet childish men.

The world building is complex and detailed as the reader is pulled into a macrocosm of misogyny, betrayal and vengeance, greed and business competitors, extreme dysfunctional family behaviors and values. Infidelity is rampant, heartbreak , anxiety and sorrow override the prevailing story line, and in this, everything comes at a cost.

The relationship between Noah and Ryan is tempestuous at best; passionate and heated, inflamed and provocative. Noah is a man whose past controls his present, and in this, falling in love was never in the cards. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters are all questionable, untrustworthy, vengeful and histrionic. No one is likable: everyone is unpleasant, loathsome and vile-each with their own agenda, determined to ruin the lives of anyone standing in their way including both Noah and Ryan’s siblings and extended families.

SAVAGE SUIT is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, forgiveness and love. The premise is dark, dramatic and edgy; the romance struggles in the face of issues of trust; the characters are controversial yet dynamic.

•••••••

REVIEW: REMORSELESS is the fifth instalment in Kathryn C Kelly’s contemporary, adult DEATH DWELLERS MC: Legacy Generation, dark, MC series set in the author’s Death Dweller’s MC world. REMORSELESS, like the previous instalments, continues to focus on the multi-generational membership in the Death Dwellers MC. Most of the original couples and characters from the Death Dwellers MC series play significant roles in the current timelines. I recommend reading the original series as well as RECKLESS book one of The Legacy Generation as many of the past events are referenced. Many of the characters are under sixteen years of age, the series is intended for mature readers only.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including graphic violence, strong language and questionable themes, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives using present day, memories from the past , divided into Acts and Interludes REMORSELESS continues to focus on the fight for power between brothers, sisters, friends and enemies. Secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance give way to accusations, abuse, violence and death. As the second generation battle to find a place in the hierarchy of the Death Dwellers MC, madness takes hold, revealing a darkness that has taken control.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of controversial, unlikeable and questionable characters. Secrets and manipulation threaten the sanity of both generations, begat by the original members whose plots and schemes took aim, and continuing to focus on the people in charge. The characters are contentious, controversial, backstabbing and destructive. Betrayal, secrets and lies have led to issues of trust in a family where the dynamics are questionable and tragic.

REMORSELESS, like the previous instalments, is dark, dramatic, intense and shocking, and may be difficult for many readers The language is graphic; the actions of the characters is problematic; and violence, retribution and mania are threatening the stability of the Death Dwellers MC, and in this, the next generation may not be ready to assume control.

RUPTURED
(Death Dwellers MC: Legacy Generations 6)
by Kathryn C Kelly
Genre: adult, contemporary, dark, MC

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 24, 2025

In a chaotic world where survival means confronting painful truths and loyalty is the difference between life and death, the Death Dwellers MC is more ruptured than ever. Following Rule’s betrayal, the Caldwell family is forced to overcome another brush with death. Rebel’s bond with Diesel and growing feelings for Kaia test both relationships. Club life is sucking CJ in deeper, despite his longing to please his mother.

In the face of her own turmoil, Megan tries to hold them together, while Christopher’s fear of losing the one person who means most to him manifests in explosive ways. Adding to the tension is the fractured loyalties the club continues to grapple with, the flames of division stoked by the Death Dweller’s very own Vice President.

Kendall attempts to rectify her husband’s numerous misdeeds, but the perilous secrets and looming threats may prove impossible to conceal.

Ruptured is a gripping tale of survival, betrayal, and redemption, set against a backdrop of danger and conflict where every decision carry weight and consequences.

•••••

REVIEW: RUPTURED is the sixth instalment in Kathryn C Kelly’s contemporary, adult DEATH DWELLERS MC: Legacy Generation, dark, MC series set in the author’s Death Dweller’s MC world. RUPTURED, like the previous instalments, continues to focus on the multi-generational membership in the Death Dwellers MC. Most of the original couples and characters from the Death Dwellers MC series play significant roles in the current timelines. I recommend reading the original series as well as RECKLESS book one of The Legacy Generation as many of the past events are referenced. Many of the characters are under sixteen years of age, the series is intended for mature readers only.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including graphic violence, strong language and questionable themes, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives RUPTURED , once again, focuses on the broken and deteriorating dynamics of not only the Caldwell family (Megan,Christopher and their eight children) but the dysfunctional Death Dwellers MC. Covering but a few days in the life, RUPTURED continues to focus on Christopher ‘Outlaw’ Caldwell, president of the Death Dwellers MC, and his fragile control over his family, his MC, and the people in his life. His love for his wife Meggie blinds him to the reality of what is happening, and at every level, Christopher confronts betrayal from outside and within. As his own children begin to lose respect, and take on a more pivotal role in his MC world, family will betray family, as a fight for power continues to build behind the scenes. Sins of the past are about to expose the truth as Meggie and their daughter Rebel, fight for their lives, betrayed by someone they love. Once again, accusations, perceived infidelity, abuse, violence and death are but an everyday part of the Death Dwellers MC and Christopher is unable to protect the people he loves.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of questionable, contentious, dubious and unpleasant characters as someone undertakes to gain control; destroy family and friendships, for the sake of past betrayals, secrets and lies. The characters are tragic, demeaning, controversial and catastrophic-lives, psyches and minds will be damaged-deadly intent is meant to wreak havoc on Christopher’s thread-bare control.

RUPTURED is a dark, gritty, dramatic and edgy story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, violence and fear, accusations and suspicion. The character driven premise is raw, unconventional, twisted and tragic-the language is graphic, forceful and may be offensive to some readers ; the characters are brutal, deviant, broken and haunting.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 27, 2025

Since childhood, I’ve been called ‘Pretty Boy Floyd’. My old man thought it was cute. Until I resumed my childhood hobby. Modeling and outlaw bikers don’t necessarily go hand in hand, but I always aim to have the last laugh. Turn lemons into lemonade, so to speak. Until the joke’s on me.

I got permission to skip out on a run so I could attend the Mobsters, Motorcycles, and Mayhem Book Signing as a model for a participating author. Had myself a real good time taking the author’s sweet daughter, Effie, for a walk on the wild side. I should’ve just stayed in bed. Next thing I know, my enemies have somehow sniffed me out. With the bounty on my head, things are about to get real bad real fast, especially with Effie suddenly in the crosshairs.

•••••

REVIEW: BOUNTY is the first instalment in Kathryn C Kelly’s contemporary, adult MAYHEM MAKERS: RED RUM MC dark, erotic, MC romance series, a part of the multi-authored Mobsters, Motorcycles and Mayhem worlds. This is twenty-one year old, university student Effie Monroe, twenty-seven year old, biker Pretty boy Floyd ‘Slice ‘ Elmont. There is a cross over with BOUNTY and RED RUM MC and the author’s Death Dwellers MC world-several characters from the original series have cameos and secondary roles.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from third first person perspectives (Slice, Effie, Daria) BOUNTY follows the building relationship between our story line couple.For months, Effie and Slice had been sending DMs and texting one another since meeting at a cover shoot for one of her mother’s books, and Effie is hoping to attend the upcoming event, as an assistant to her author mother Daria Monroe but Slice has ghosted our story line heroine, not returning her messages or texts, and Effie is determined to find out why. Upon their arrival, Effie will discover her mother has other plans for Slice, and Effie is struggling with what is happening and why but all is not well in Slice’s life-a job went horribly wrong, and there is a bounty on the head of the man with whom Effie will fall in love.

The world building follows several pathways including the dysfunctional relationships between Effie and her mother, as well as Slice and the family into which he was born and bled. Slice has been targeted, and his MC family is willing to let him take the fall but our heroine will pay the price for sins of the past.

The relationship between Effie and Slice is one of mutual attraction but Slice doesn’t do relationships, and in this, Effie feels betrayed and used. Along with his twin brother Drifter, Slice spent his early years modelling , and a chance to reconnect through the romance world, will place a target on the back of our story line couple. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of familiar and determined secondary and supporting characters including several members from the numerous interconnected Death Dwellers MC series, and Josh McCall (Phoenix Rising Rock Band series). We are introduced to several members of the Red Rum MC: Effie’s siblings Heath and Cassie, their parents Lennon and Daria Monroe. The requisite evil has many faces.

BOUNTY is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, secrets and lies, dysfunctional family attitudes; family and friendships, acceptance and love. The premise is dark, dramatic and edgy; the romance is provocative; the characters are charismatic and desperate.

Amidst the chaos, Outlaw is determined to show his beloved Megan the depth of his devotion, even as the club is on a collision course to doom. In a story of love, loyalty, and the shadows of the past, “Ruthless” explores the complexities of family, power, and redemption in the unforgiving world of motorcycle clubs.

••••••

REVIEW: RUTHLESS is the fourth instalment in Kathryn C Kelly’s contemporary, adult DEATH DWELLERS MC: LEGACY GENERATiON dark, erotic, MC series-a spin off from the author’s DEATH DWELLERS MC series. RUTHLESS continues to focus on the multi-generational membership in the Death Dwellers MC. Most of the original couples and characters from the Death Dwellers MC series play significant roles in the current timelines. I recommend reading the original series as well as RECKLESS book one of The Legacy Generation as many of the past events are referenced. Many of the characters are under sixteen years of age, the series is intended for mature readers only.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including graphic violence, strong language and questionable themes, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives using present day, memories from the past , divided into Acts and Interludes RUTHLESS continues to follow several intersecting pathways, focusing on the struggling relationship between Death Dwellers MC president Christopher ‘Outlaw’ Caldwell, and his ol’lady, wife and mother of his seven children Meggie. Another woman is threatening our story line couple but for all intents and purposes Outlaw refuses to destroy the woman who is trying to destroy his life while a ghost from the past continues to stalk the woman he loves. While his own brother Johnnie continues his downward spiral, Outlaw considers ending the lives of everyone who has ever crossed the line, targeting his family.

Once again, secrets and lies, power and control, betrayal and vengeance, murder and abuse are at the forefront of the story line premise. Deceit and pretense, subterfuge and hypocrisy are but a few of the perceptions and views throughout the series, gaining a strong foothold as distrust, suspicion, fear and concern are heightened as Christopher ‘Outlaw’ Caldwell continues to lose control not only of his family, his club, but of his own mind. Outlaw is unable to trust those closest to him, and the fall-out is threatening everyone he loves.

There is a large ensemble cast of questionable, dislikable, controversial and tragic characters most of whom we have met in the original series and the current spin-off. Most of the characters are not redeemable; are manipulative and destructive on many levels; the lack of maturity and education is obvious; there is no romance; $ex is a tool, morals are absent, ethics non existent ; obsession is rampant but the professions of love are numerous and somewhat questionable. Outlaw struggles to protect his wife, his daughter and his club but protection comes at a cost.

RUTHLESS is another dark, gritty, dramatic and tragic story of several generations lost to the violence that controls their lives. The Death Dwellers MC: Legacy Generation is not a story/series about hearts and flowers-happily ever afters are for fairy tales and romance novels.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 5, 2023

In the gripping second installment of the Death Dweller MC’s Legacy Series, “Restless,” CJ Caldwell finds himself facing more challenges and heartbreak than ever before.

Still grappling with a devastating family tragedy, CJ is now also dealing with the fractured relationship between him and his once-best friend, Harley. Her erratic behavior has not only destroyed their friendship, but it also threatens to unravel other important relationships in CJ’s life.

As CJ’s parents struggle with their own personal issues, the weight of responsibility falls heavily on CJ’s young shoulders. He must step up and take care of his siblings while navigating the complex dynamics of a broken family. But little does he know, danger lurks in the shadows, ready to pounce when he least expects it.

•••••

REVIEW: RESTLESS is the second instalment in Kathryn C Kelly’s contemporary, adult DEATH DWELLERS MC : THE LEGACY GENERATION dark, erotic, series focusing on the multi-generational membership in the Death Dwellers MC-a spinoff from the Death Dwellers MC. Most of the original couples and characters from the Death Dwellers MC series play significant role in the current timelines. I recommend reading the original series as well as RECKLESS book one of The Legacy Generation.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including graphic violence and language, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives using present day, memories from the past , divided into Acts and Interludes RESTLESS follows several intersecting paths focusing on the dark and acrimonious relationships between family, friendships and the Death Dwellers MC. Although several of the characters are under sixteen years old, the entirety of the premise is intended for mature readers. While CJ Caldwell is torn between friendships and family, his story line bleeds and blends into the overarching premise, as the originals, the members, and the legacy fight for control at the top.

Secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, murder and abuse, obsession and madness are but a few of the significant conceptualizations throughout the story, in the end, deception and dishonesty are but the tip of the proverbial iceberg as club president Christopher ‘Outlaw’ Caldwell struggles to regain control. The detailed and complex premise is gritty, dark, raw. dramatic and tragic; the characters are numerous, flawed, destructive-there is nothing likeable about the majority of the characters; there is no romance to be found. RESTLESS ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

Heed the trigger warnings-they are graphic and numerous.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 14, 2024

In the gripping sequel to “Restless,” Christopher “Outlaw” Caldwell’s transformation into a devoted family man is put to the ultimate test.

REVIEW: RELENTLESS: The Legacy Rises is the third instalment in Kathryn C Kelly’s contemporary, adult DEATH DWELLERS MC : BRIDGE SERIES dark, erotic, series focusing on the multi-generational membership in the Death Dwellers MC-a spinoff from the Death Dwellers MC. Most of the original couples and characters from the Death Dwellers MC series play a significant role in the current timelines. I recommend reading the original series as well as RECKLESS, and RESTLESS books one and two of The Legacy Generation.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including graphic violence and language, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers. Although several of the characters are under sixteen years old and control a major portion of the story line premise and conflict, the entirety of the premise is intended for mature readers.

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives using present day and memories from the past, several acts and interludes, RELENTLESS, as did the previous instalments, continues to follow several intersecting paths focusing on the acrimonious friendships and relationships between the extended families, and members, of the Death Dwellers MC. As Christopher ‘Outlaw’ Caldwell and his wife Meggie continue to struggle with their own relationship since the early birth of their youngest daughter, there are many people behind the scenes focusing on taking the couple down but ultimately Meggie Caldwell for her connections to the past. Greed and jealousy are but the tip of the proverbial iceberg: no one is safe, betrayal is rampant and disheartening.

RELENTLESS is a dark, graphic, complex and detailed story focusing on many issues including graphic violence, discrimination, racism, mental instability and illness, psychotic breaks, emotional and physical infidelity. There is madness, anger, resentment and loss; betrayal, abuse, incest, vengeance and jealousy; mistrust and misunderstanding-most manipulated by actors behinds the scenes resulting in any number of fall-outs and accusations. The dysfunctionality of the Death Dwellers MC family is rife with any number of psychological terrors-the selfishness, secrets, lies and manipulations threaten the sanity of everyone involved.

A major portion of the story line follows the under eighteen (most under sixteen) extended family members-the legacy generation who are straddling the line between madness and mania. No one is likeable from child to adult, the amount of deceit is dangerous and alarming.

Once again, Heed the trigger warnings-they are graphic and numerous.
