About the author

Originally hailing from Mississippi, Keegan Kennedy is a writer based out of Memphis, TN. As a child, sometimes his active imagination was the only friend that he had. Following a degree in History from the University of Southern Mississippi, Keegan floated around the corporate while dreaming of telling stories. His first novellas were in the arena of male-for-male erotica and romance. His earlier efforts were soon followed by success when his novel, Homecoming, went to Number One in on the LGBT charts in four countries: Germany, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. He has a knack for uncovering love and romance in the darkest of places. With a tendency toward the melodramatic, he does more than arouse or excite the reader - he engages them.

His current release is the epic novel: The Harbinger – a chilling, apocalyptic tale of survival that decimated stereotypes and shocked his fans. Upcoming works include – a TBA romance between two anti-heroes. And by popular demand, he is re-mastering his older novellas into his new anthology series, the cheekily-named: Smooth Jocks and Gruff Jocks.

Well that certainly was a wild ride...Not sure how i feel about the whole paranormal aspect of the story...It was so gritty and dark and the paranormal theme kind of took away from the story a little bit...The whole bonding thing was kind of interesting and Ryan did a complete 360 in his feelings for Jeb...and that ending...what the heck...wasn't bad but sometimes cliffhangers really suck...I definitely stand by the five star rating because those first five books were so intense I was kind of shocked the story went the supernatural route but I still really enjoyed these stories...Keegan Kennedy will def be on my auto buy list

Well. This series went in a completely different direction than I thought it would. Which is a good thing because I would much rather be surprised than not. I wasn't happy about the paranormal aspect at first, but it grew on me. It really gave the author more room to play I think. I hope this isn't the end because that ending was...wow! I need more! I also would love to see the backstories of Clifford & Vernon and Jeb & Matt. I'd also like to see what happened between Wilson and Jason as well as where they're going.

Surprise ending

Great read and I can't believe I'm saying this but I want more of their adventures. Would've liked to read more about the other races as well.

My guilty pleasure. It's raw, nasty, and totally inappropriate. But hell if it doesn't scratch an itch
