Blood and Brotherhood
Chaos and life-altering mistakes intertwine in a brutal world of bikers, love, desire, and danger, that only the strongest can survive. In the heart of the Death Dwellers Motorcycle Club, alpha males and fierce loyalty collide with married life and child-rearing.

Outlaw, the club’s president, is devoted to his family and the club members he has sworn to protect. He battles jealousy, guilt, and the specter of the MC’s dark origins. The fragile peace that they’ve fought for hangs by a thread after his son’s overdose. CJ, his eldest biological son, navigates the treacherous landscape of club politics and violent rivalries. He realizes this life comes at a very steep price and every choice can lead to salvation or destruction. Diesel, Outlaw’s adopted son, is known for his violent tendencies, struggles with personal demons and complicated relationships yet remains deeply loyal to his family.

Life and Love
Megan, the younger woman who stole Outlaw’s heart when she was barely legal, is his obsession and his redemption. She is the family’s emotional anchor and shows immense strength in safeguarding her children. Rebel, their strong-willed and independent daughter, challenges traditional gender roles within the club, is very protective of her mother, and only wants normal teenage experiences. She wants to make up with her twin, but he has other ideas.
Romance and rivals

As old enemies resurface and new threats emerge, Outlaw strives to protect his family and maintain his leadership. Dangerously dark romance, violence, betrayal, and unyielding resilience abound in a world where every decision can mean the difference between life and death.
Will the Caldwell family overcome their demons, or will the darkness consume them all?

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.

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.
