CASUAL FELONIES

Wildlings - Book One

by Kelly Fox

Release Date: August 20, 2025

Review

I am obsessed with the idea of a second generation of characters from a beloved series.


I haven’t read the whole original series, but that didn’t detract for one second. I’m utterly smitten with Kelly’s writing style, which feels serious, deep, over the top and a little wild all at the same time. It’s contemporary with a hint of it being futuristic, with some of the impressive tech they have.


The pairing is fantastic. The incredibly smart but slightly oblivious son of vigilante parents and the sexy barber with a vigilante side gig. The path to getting together is fraught with landmines and some hilarious antics, but once they figure it out (mostly figuring out how to navigate a couple of distiburlingly scare parents), they make a pretty solid and formidable team.


Seriously, it’s actually really hard to describe all that goes on here, but expect a large group of very close ‘wildling’ cousins, parents who are far too involved in their children’s lives, death, chaos, and a whole lot of love!

Synopsis

At what point does casually stalking your hot barber become a felony?

Look, I swear I’m harmless. Just a mildly obsessed, extremely hot influencer trying to figure out why my barber-slash-hookup-slash-possible-soulmate kicked me out after the best [redacted] of my life.

As he was shoving me out the door, he muttered something about my dads and a meat hook. I have no idea what he’s talking about. Sure, my dads are... intense. But it’s not like they’d actually kill a man for defiling their son.

Probably.

Anyway, I’m off to slap a super illegal tracker on the hot barber’s car and see what that gets me.

CASUAL FELONIES is book one of The Wildlings, a queer romantic vigilante saga set in the semi-near future, featuring the grown-up kids of the morally gray Guardians. Expect: cousin shenanigans, ethically questionable tech, surprise cameos, vigilante family drama, and the completely unsanctioned defiling of a barber chair.

About Kelly Fox

I write contemporary gay romance, which is to say that I curse way too much, drink exactly the right amount of red wine, and sleep far too little. I’m also lucky enough to live in Central Texas with my wife and two dogs, where the astonishing diversity of humans and landscapes and tattoo shops serve as my muse.

REVIEW: All I Fear by Abrianna Denae (All's Fair #2)

  ALL I FEAR All’s Fair - Book Two by Abrianna Denae Release Date: September 19, 2023 Review protective, possessive and violent men.  Tennant and Hollis are an incredible pair. Kinky in the wildest way, they are everything and I adored them (even if slightly disturbed too).   Roman is heir to the Amato family and Tennant, as second in command, must shape him into the man he needs to be to one day takeover. Roman is a bit bratty and wild. Truthfully I don’t really care for him, but he certainly makes for an interesting dynamic to both Tennent and Hollis’ lives. I also love the addition of the odd chapter by other people’s view points, it adds a really interesting dynamic and keeps you tied to all the characters in the series. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Tennant Mason is the Amato Family’s Second in Command. He’s calculating and lethal, his antisocial personality disorder provides him with the perfect tools for the Amatos to turn him into their deadlie...

  NOT NOT NORMAL by Peter E. Fenton Release Date: September 11, 2024 Review I don’t read a lot of YA, but if they were all like this, I totally would. Not Not Normal was a touching and uplifting story that anyone who wasn’t ‘normal’ in school could relate to. Finding the tribe of people, friends or lovers, that appreciate you just the way you are.  Jordan and Nathan are both pretty special guys and they make each other's lives so much bigger and more interesting, while also supporting each other, in the ways they can, through the big emotions and frustrations they are experiencing in their lives.  It was such a warm and rich read, and I love the ease in which you could connect with the characters. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Jordan and Nathan couldn’t be more different, but when order and chaos collide, opposites attract. Jordan is a bit of an oddball at school. He likes rules, routine, old sci-fi novels, and is often the victim of his bully’s torment. Wh...
