The Dead Cat Tail Assassins
Eveen has no memory of before she died, which is as it should be since her undead life has one purpose: serve her goddess, Matron of Assassins. When Eveen is contracted for a shipping, it should be a breeze, she’s done this a million times. But this job is anything but regular and Eveen finds what should be impossible—a memory from before she died—and finds herself caught in a plot far more dangerous than being an assassin.
This was not a long read and fast paced; I easily finished reading it in a couple sittings. In some places though, it felt too fast paced, skipping over details. There are multiple times information is repeated when it’s not needed, but then other times the narration states that Eveen explains what has happened to other characters and its often enough it got annoying. The characters are rather flat, though very creative and all different from each other. The end was interesting. The solution is well foreshadowed, but it felt out of place for the world. It also left me with questions about Eveen that I want answers to, but would be better suited to a sequel.
