Death Dwellers MC, Bridge Series #5
Remorseless: The Legacy Generation
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?

About the author
Kathryn C. Kelly
74 books1,053 followersI am slowly but surely learning to manage my time more effectively and getting back to writing and connecting with everyone. I'm not completely there yet, but it is slowly coming together. Misled and Misappropriate have been updated with additional chapters and POVs from a couple more characters. Both books have about 30,000 more words and new covers. I have new covers for all the books in the series. Recently Misled placed first in the Mystery, Suspense, and Thriller category on Chick Lit Cafe. The paperback will also be included in an upcoming Reveal Book Box. While working on Reckless, I am also updating the text in the original series. About Reckless - It will be filled with death and destruction, as usual. However, I will admit to being slightly shocked myself at some of the turn of events taking place. I have restarted my newsletter with a new name, KatChats. Until the end of the year, I plan to send it out weekly because of all the news I have to share. After that, I will switch to monthly. I also have a new website. It should be online in a couple of days once the domain transfer completes. I also have a website dedicated to the Death Dwellers. It is still in its early stages, but it is live: https://deathdwellersmc.com.

Kathryn C. Kelly is a New Orleans native who has called southeast Texas home since 2005. She had intended to travel the world but always return to her beloved New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina had other plans. She is the mother of three beautiful daughters and the daughter of one gorgeous mother whose footsteps she followed in by becoming a writer.
Kathryn is the former owner and editor of Inside Rose Rich Magazine. She and her mother have been published by Jove Books as Christine Holden. The books have long been out of print but they got the rights back to the five novels and have plans to re-release them soon.
Kathryn is a cancer survivor. In 2010, she felt a small lump in her breast. In 2015, at the urging of her mother, she went in for her bi-yearly mammogram and was diagnosed with Stage 2b/3a HER2 positive breast cancer. On November 30, 2016, she rang the bell. During her treatment, she was also diagnosed with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome.
In 2013, Christopher "Outlaw" Caldwell introduced himself to Kat in the most cliché way ever. He came to her in a dream. After the inauspicious meeting, he planted himself in her mind and the motherf...the gentleman hasn't left yet. In what was only supposed to be one book about the fictitious Death Dwellers MC, Outlaw has become a source of amusement, a well of frustration, and a bone of contention between Kat and one of her daughters.
She is hard at work on Reckless, the book that will bridge the OGs with a new generation of Death Dwellers. Her work has been included in several anthologies and she is looking forward to other upcoming single title releases, including Savage Suit from the Cocky Hero Club World created by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. She is a former RWA member. She also served as Vice President for the SOLA chapter of RWA.
She is a New Orleans Saints fan, but roots for the Texans, the Rockets, and the Coogs (U of H) as long as they aren't playing any Louisiana teams. She loves champagne and sparkling wine. One day, she will try Snoop's brand. She still loves Chivas Regal but had a chance to taste Sassenach Scotch. A #lifegoal is to one day buy herself an entire bottle and keep it all for herself.
In her head, she is a biker babe with a Harley in her garage, waiting for her to hit the road. In reality, she has yet to hop on a bike and ride. She loves Cards Against Humanity, has very strong opinions that she keeps to herself, has to take her time to talk in public so nothing untoward pops out, and always strives to see the best in people and in life.

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.

Remorseless is book 5 in Kathryn C. Kelly's bridge next gen Death Dwellers series. This was my favourite of the series so far. Visiting with this large dysfunctional family is always a good time. Outlaw and Megan's enduring love is at the centre of the story as their children grapple with life, death and growing up. These characters are funny, sad and not always likeable. What I love about this author's characters is that they are genuine and evolving whether that is in good or bad ways. This book takes you on a ride and what a ride it is. Remorseless cannot be read as a standalone but the entire Death Dwellers series is worth a binge! Cannot wait for the next book! I received an advanced copy for free from BookSirens and I am leaving a review voluntarily.

Kathryn C Kelly takes us back to the ever exciting world of the Death Dwellers MC in this latest book.
As usual, I absolutely loved it. I loved every stunning twist, of which there were many. I loved each intriguing vignette from the Dweller's past. Kathryn C Kelly did a spectacular job of keeping this reader captivated until the last word. I've been invested in the world of the Death Dwellers since devouring the first book. I love these characters, these bikers and their fiesty women, current and future, as they struggle with turmoil and betrayal, with love and loyalty, with danger and an uncertain future for many.
Thank you to the author for taking readers on another exciting journey with our beloved Outlaw and Megan, and the rest of the Death Dweller family.

All the stars and the greatest ….
I am more obsessed than ever with this series. Just when I think nothing else can surprise me……SURPRISE!!!!
When the OG shows their face, or their actions that affect this gen, I get nervous. But this book, the new gen is making me as nervous as if Logan or Sharper is about to pop in, and say ‘what’s up’!!
Things have run amuck and people have made Outlaw pop off and be ‘Outlaw’, so all I can say to them is - you knew better and shame for making him fix you.
Megan has shown just how great she is, and I love how much she and Outlaw love each other. It makes it all okay.
So bring on the next book because I think Outlaw has reloaded and he is ready!!!

Remorseless is the continuing saga of the Death Dwellers second generation. OMG! What a book, even at 825 pages I didn’t want it to end. I went through all the emotions in this book, laughing, crying, shock and awe, and at times I really felt the need to bitchslap a few characters, I also cheered a few times when someone got exactly what they deserved. I can honestly say that I don’t want this series to end. Kathryn has outdone herself with this book and I can’t wait for instalment number 6. I highly recommend you read this book and I wish I could give it more than 5 stars.

This one was not my favorite. I found it pretty depressing, actually. There was a lot of SA, which I’m never happy with. But I felt like all of the characters were stuck. And if they got unstuck, it was only to get stuck again in a different way. Mistakes were repeated in a never ending cycle. The book did have some merit as a character study of Meggie. But she was not enough to make the book likable. Plus it was over 900 pages and STILL had a cliffhanger. Someone really needs to learn to edit. Not a fan.
October 22, 2024
Another edition in the life of Christopher and Megan Caldwell. A definite saga. A thrilling ride with them through the trials and tribulations of life surrounding the Death Dwellers MC. Drama, danger, chaos and death is abound. Always left wanting more of their story. A definite page turner and a very entertaining read. 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you will not be disappointed 😎🖤

Remorseless carries on with the second generation of the Death Dwellers and this is very exciting! The emotional aspects of this book is overwhelming at times and whether it's laughter or tears or anywhere in between, you feel every single bit of it. Secrets come to light, danger, as always is just around the corner. Twists, turns, surprises, chaos, Remorseless has some of all of of it. Another fantastic addition to this series!

In this gritty tale, Outlaw fights to protect his family as the club’s dark past threatens their fragile peace. Newcomer CJ faces a brutal initiation, navigating violence and betrayal. As secrets unravel, both generations must survive a world filled with danger and uncertainty, where the price of survival is steep.
Exciting page turner

Amazing!
I absolutely loved the story! The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat, and I literally couldn't put it down. In my opinion, Harley should take a step back from CJ. Outlaw and Meggie are still deeply in love, even though she’s no longer his sweet angel. I can't wait for the next book!

October 23, 2024I love this series! It is well written and some things were shocking to read and others were kind of funny. I know this book is fiction but there were a couple of times I felt sorry for certain characters. It was a great read and I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out.

Loved this addition to the series also. It just keeps twisting and turning. I usually hate dual time lines but somehow it all just works with this series. I had all kinds of emotions reading this. Anger, fear, sadness, disgust and laugh out loud parts also. The author has penned another winner! Thanks to Kathryn for my arc!

Another one I couldn’t put down. I love visiting this dysfunctional group of misfits. The author is the only one who has made me absolutely HATE certain characters (and kept me waiting for their deaths) but managed to redeem them somehow. Although there are a couple in the most recent books I’m not too sure are redeemable. I absolutely cannot wait until the next one.
November 17, 2024
Remorseless continues the legacy of the Death Dwellers through the second generation. It is filled with emotional twists and turns that touched my heart and kept me on the edge of my seat all throughout the book. Itis another well written story that captivates and had me connecting with it.

It's an amazing addition to an already amazing series! Every book reveals more secrets and dangers to the club and it's members. Add those to the dangers from within and you have a wild ride that doesn't stop. 😍 I can't wait to see how it all plays out and who will still be standing in the end!!!
