***COMBINED REVIEW: LEATHER HEAD SERIES BOOKS 1 & 2***
**LEATHER HEAD (LEATHER HEAD SERIES: BOOK 1)** BY MATT CONVERSE
In San Francisco the club Pad Lock caters to the “leather kink”. Some young men go there to experiment and some have already experienced the “leather kink” to some degree. Fear still reigns with the deaths at the hands of the “Folsom Street Serial Killer” aka Leather Head.
Three young men have met their fate in the dark world: Tomas, three weeks earlier,; Carlos two weeks later, Ahmed one week after. There’s room for a number four.
Nothings going to stop Gable from celebrating the leather events in SF. He’s all decked out in very little leather, even though is not really his thing. But he’s eager to experience a little of it. He meets up with his best friend Shawn. Shawn warns Gable to be careful. Shawn even goes as far as checking with the bartenders Kevin and Larry about the Leather Daddy that Gable leaves with. Is this the last time he will see Gable?
**LEATHER HEAD: UNMASKED (LEATHER HEAD SERIES: BOOK 2)**
In Palm Springs, there’s a Gay Pride Celebration going on. Seems everyone is looking for fun in the sun, relaxation, hooking-up and just a great vacation.
Some young men go out to experiment and some have already experienced the “leather kink” to some degree. With all the celebrating there doesn’t leave room for thoughts of the danger that lurks with Leather Head.
Friends, Tyler and Andres have faced the terror of Leather Head. They’re deserving of some fun and making plans to celebrate in Palm Springs.
Gable and Shawn are best of friends and deserve a vacation after the terrifying experience of escaping the clutches of Leather Head.
Granger and his husband Liam are also vacationing in Palm Springs. Granger is forty-three and Liam in his twenties, the have a very good understanding with their open relationship. Both are looking forward to some fun. Granger takes lot’s of pride in Liam and is respectful of him being cautious.
With Leather Head escaping law enforcement at every turn who will be his next victim?
With both “Leather Head” and “Leather Head: Unmasked”, Matt Converse presents the pattern of several young men who have a desire to experience the leather scene. The pattern of the plots carries through each story as his victims are selected.
The stories are dark theme, gruesome with psychological tones. Some of these young men have had the experience but never want to take it too far and always think that safe-words would save them.
With “Leather Head: Unmasked” there’s still that interesting connection between: Tyler and Andres; Gable and Shawn, their friendships are solid, strong and protective. For Granger and Liam, it’s a clear understanding, respect and love.
Leather Heads story will unfold and the fear, emotions and reactions to Leather Head will be revealing: Gable’s reaction and feelings to Leather Head; Tyler’s and Andres reaction; and Leather Heads insight into himself and choices that he made.
I read the entire series starting with: “Where Evil Begins: The Prequel to Leather Head”, and it’s up to the reader how they will accept the “Leather Head” series.
Humor, suspense, thrills, fun, horror, or delving into the psychological side of it. It’s the readers choice.

The end of Leatherhead
So, I've read the previous books and while the writing style is a bit simplistic and disjointed, I was still able to get into the story and the horror part. This last book was a disappointment. Aside from the writing style, it jumps from couple to couple - three main couples - in a totally random and rather chaotic way. There's no flow from one part to the next, and it's almost as if each section was written on its own and then just pasted together. There's definitely potential but it is so disorganized that it takes a lot of effort just to keep things straight. Still, I pushed on because of really wanted to see how this would wrap up and that's where thing took a train to "wtf" ville! I honestly expected Leatherhead to escape again - or maybe even be gunned down in a blaze of psychotic glory - but no. To have Leather head on the suddenly have an epiphany about how he got to where he was, to realize the errors of his ways, to cry and apologize before surrendering to the police ... 😯 I mean, what the heck! It's almost as if the author ran out of ideas, so they just slapped some generic "everyone lived happily ever after" ending on and called it good. As I said, really disappointing and I actually feel a bit cheated after all the suspense and gore leading up to this. Not sure if I'll read more by this author without them doing a lot of work to tighten up and refine their writing. Just ... 😒

Ummm no
The first half was okay. It had potential, but the ending where the serial killer confessed like that to people he doesn’t know just because they said he looks cute?… Not a chance. Disappointed in this. Wouldn’t ever read again.
