I was sucked into this series by the first book - Misled. Since finishing it, I’ve been on the edge of my seat waiting anxiously for the next installments to release.  Misdeeds was no exception - I was offered the opportunity to receive a copy for me to review and I couldn’t have been more excited.  Misdeeds is the 4th book in the Death Dwellers MC series - this is not a series for the faint of heart.  If you don’t like your MC books to be raw, brutal, dangerous, violent, gritty and very very sexy - then just pass this one on by.  That is what Kathryn delivers us with this book (and we the readers expected no less)!Misdeeds picks up shortly after Misunderstood ended.  I should mention, this book cannot be read as a standalone - you need to start from the beginning and delve right into this series to fully appreciate it.  Right away at the start of the book, we are pulled right back into the emotional roller coaster where the last book left off.  The MC is dealing with a brutal, vicious rivalry with their enemy - one that has forced them all to pay very steep prices.  I thought the opening part of the book was set perfectly, it gave the reader a chance to slide back into where things left off and was a beautiful segway into the upcoming war with the Torpedoes.This book was Kendall and Johnnie’s story.  Johnnie holds a special place in my heart and I sooo want that HEA for him!  Their story is an extremely complicated one, Kendall’s insecurities do not make for an easy relationship for anyone involved.  What I really loved about this book was the way Kathryn still made the entire MC feel like the main characters of the book.  Yes, this was Kendall and Johnnie’s story - but in no way did Outlaw and Meggie take a back seat.  They are characters that demand attention, and boy do they get it!  I felt as though they were very much a huge part of the story, pivotal actually.  As Outlaw would say - aint no mothereffing way he and Meggie takin a back seat in no story.I completely have to hand it to Kathryn - Kendall’s character is unlike one I have ever read.  She’s that girl you are either going to love or hate.  I’m not ashamed to say that I alternated back and forth with my opinion of her the entire book.  As the reader, you want so bad to relate to her and cut her some slack due to all she has endured - however it is damn hard to do at some points!  I was frustrated and yelling at my Kindle with some of her antics and then at times, I completely got where she was coming from with her insecurities.  There are parts of her that were so relatable - I fully believe that a lot of females have felt the way that she feels much of the time.  The way she compares herself to Megan, her jealously and enviousness - these are emotions that I believe we have all faced at one time or another.  A little blurb to offer some insight on Kendall’s thoughts and feelings:In Megan, Kendall saw every mean girl she’d ever had to face in high school and every sorority girl she’d come across in college.Johnnie and Kendall have an amazing chemistry, they care about each other and Kendall does everything she can to prove her worth and succeed in making Johnnie hers.  The questions is - does Johnnie want the same thing?If you know the background of Johnnie, you will know that he has always held Megan in high regard and she holds a piece of his heart.  Unfortunately, Kendall knows this as well - and it does not sit well with her.  She pulls that card out in every disagreement, in every argument - a fact that frustrates Johnnie to no end.  This drove me crazy about Kendall, she is a character that has that ability to just drive you insane one second, and then have you cheering and rooting her on the next second.“Putting you first requires what?” - Johnnie“Making me feel like I’m important,”  she flared, proud of how eloquent she presented her argument.  She felt vital and alive, ready to stand up to him and demand what she needed.  “I don’t want to be your afterthought.” - Kendall“You’re here, aren’t you?  You’re not a effing afterthought.”Trust me when I say you will want to shake her and tell her to smarten the eff up.  But at the end of the day, she loves Johnnie and wants to be with him….what will be the outcome for these two?  Does Johnnie love her enough to see through all her layers and give her what she needs?  Have to grab the book to find out ;)This book really does have it all...I love books that I can get completely engrossed in and thats what happened to me here.  It kept me guessing from one page to the next - the twists were explosive!  And being an MC book with sexy, alpha bikers - of course there was some deliciously steamy love scenes that you aren’t going to want to miss.  I’m not giving anything away when I say that we could all use some of Johnnie Boy’s skills with his tongue ;)  Just sayin.xo Cassia
