The Dead Cat Tail Assassins

Eveen the Eviscerator is a deadly and discreet contract killer, an operative of the Dead Cat Tail Assassins guild. Though she is not feline and has no tail, Eveen is indeed dead. Wiped of her memories and resurrected to serve a deity known as the Matron of Assassins, Eveen serves her patron goddess faithfully and professionally, adhering to the unbreakable vows that dictate the assassins’ conduct—under penalty of true, final death. Then Eveen is thrust into a past she isn’t supposed to remember and faced with a target she cannot kill. Employing an impressive emotional range, narrator Lynnette R. Freeman embodies the wide-ranging cast of characters, seamlessly shifting between anger, excitement, and grim acquiescence. Whether portraying the protagonist Eveen or the killer’s latest unsettling target, Freeman’s ability to separate and distinguish the many entertaining characters is nothing short of incredible. Clark’s (A Master of Djinn) writes a fun, fast-paced popcorn novel elevated by Freeman’s superb performance.
