Rating: 5 out of 5

5 out of 5 for this reader folks!If you've read my first combined review of the Death Dweller series, then you already know that this is a series NOT for the easily offended.  For those that haven't, I have to in good conscience state this straight up.  This series is easily the most UN-PG series I have come across.  There is strong descriptive violence, language, harsh situations, rape and heart ache.  BUT, if you can handle all that .. there is an amazing group of bikers that you will fall in love with despite their rough edges, and old ladies that will make you laugh and tick you off all at the same time.  This series take you THERE .. you know that icky but yummy place .. YA THAT!We left smexy Johnnie "John Boy" Donovan one hot mess and happily for now with his recently proclaimed old lady Kendall Miller in the previous novel.  Misdeeds by Kathryn Kelly is a continuation of their story and how they are trying to make it work.  Revenge against Kendall's ex "enemy club" boyfriend is still a priority for Johnnie and the Death Dwellers and our boys are going full on with mass destruction.  In the midst of all that, Johnnie is trying to balance his relationship with Kendall (shining at moments and bombing at others), participate in club business, deal with family revelations and heal from a gunshot injury.  In the meantime, Kendall is stirring the pot with Megan (the prez old lady), being selfish, manipulative .. of the list goes on!  It's a wonder that a man like Johnnie can stick with her.  Revenge is served up indeed, and collateral damage is received, but I think we will see Johnnie and Kendall make it through.  They grew together and separately in this book, leaving me hopeful for their future.So much more happens here but I really wanted to focus the remainder of this review on Kathryn Kelly's talent to make me LOVE HATE (yup you read that right) a heroine.  Honestly, I really dislike Kendall.  I think she is selfish, mean spirited and very immature.  The things she said and did in this book made my blood boil .. but here is the thing...  Kathryn Kelly also gave me moments of wanting to root for her and wishing she'd redeem herself.  At times I felt like a ping pong ball, hating, liking, loving ... UH I have never felt this strongly about ANY heroine I have ever read.  She is a whole bag of damaged and I sympathized with her, but man I actually screamed at my ereader for her to smarten the you know what up.  LOLAs an emotional reader, this series has hit my every button.  I adore these bad ass bikers and their messed up seriously deviant and degenerate ways.  We have been set up nicely for further stories and I am so excited for my next encounter with them!  Again, an extremely raw read with lots to offend a reader, but man I love the shock and offensive experience because I get to experience something so intense and pure ... as Christopher "Outlaw" would say. "It ain't nothing but a thing!"HAPPY READING! :)
