Series background & context
Neither This, Nor That is a southern biker series with a strong sense of myth around its men. The official series pitch talks about legends being born in perfect moments, and that feels right. These books lean into the idea that one choice, one ride, one meeting, can change a life for good.
The first wave of stories circles men like Twisted, Po'Boy, Retro, and Ragman, then later expands to characters like Wildman and Einstein. What ties them together is a bone-deep love of club life, a belief in brotherhood, and the understanding that none of that comes free. Love costs something. Loyalty costs something. Bad timing costs most of all.
The southern setting matters here. These books feel hotter, dustier, and more close-knit than a big-city MC series. The language is more rooted. The emotions are messy in a way that suits the roads and roadside stops these characters move through. DeMora also lets the series play with different relationship shapes, which gives it a little extra range. Shelter My Heart, for example, centers Po'Boy, Wrench, and Crissy in a story that is much more interested in emotional fit than in neat appearances.
Fate is everywhere in this series.
Not in a magical way, most of the time, but in the sense that people keep running into the exact choice they don't feel ready to make. This Is the Route of Twisted Pain starts that pattern. Treading the Traitor's Path pushes into betrayal and balance. Trapped by Fate on Reckless Roads and Tangled Threats on the Nomad Highway make loyalty feel both noble and dangerous. Thunderstruck survives as a retired title, later expanded into Tarnished Lies and Dead Ends.
If you like interconnected MC romance that is gritty, emotional, and a little haunted by the idea of what might have been, this series is a good bet. Read it in order and let the club build around you.
