About this listen

Watch out for the Assassin’s Claws....

Dearil Moreno is a paid killer, just like his four brothers. It’s the family business - they fight together, they die together. Whether they’re working as a group or alone, they are a tight unit of people who protect their own. When the brothers learn a contract is available to assassinate a priest - a good man known to their family as someone who works with the underground to rescue omegas - they accept it with the intention of doing the exact opposite of what they’ve been hired to do.

Dearil is the brother known for two things...his sassy wardrobe and even sassier sense of snark. A true ginger, this omega isn’t afraid of anyone and has the attitude to prove it. When he agrees to take this mission, the last thing Dear expects is to discover the priest is also his true mate.

Father Nathaniel Clarence is about to retire from his parish on the island nation of Aurelia. He’s stunned when he scents his true mate during his final church service. The discovery that his mate is a hired killer here to rescue him is an interesting twist, but the one thing Nathaniel has in abundance is faith that everything will work out as it’s meant to.

Before the alpha will truly be safe, the Moreno brothers need to find out who hired them in the first place. As they travel across Europe in search of the truth, a 33-year-old mystery is solved, and the two men find that home really is where the heart is...and the fates don’t make mistakes. Not even when they pair a priest with an assassin.

This novella is the third book in the Assassin’s Claws series. Note: While mpreg exists in this world, we won’t have a birth in every book. This book contains killer cats, ninja bunnies, and a snarky omega who has no idea how to pray. Get ready for naughty-knotty fun and low-ball humor as only Susi Hawke can provide.

This was great. Drew did a great job with all the many characters. I especially loved this story because it really brings home the idea of a loving family. I read this book when it came out and it was just as good the second time. I can't wait for the next one!

I love Dear and Nate ❤️

In this book 3, Dear and Nate finding each other is just the beginning of an action packed adventure where the brothers will fight for love and family. Mystery, intrigue, betrayal, many ninja bunnies and new friends, in between romance and hot scenes, complemented this story just fine. Hilarious and sweet, you'll enjoy It better if you read it in order after book 1 and 2. Of course, Mr Bacca’s performance and voice acting is a wonderful plus and made everything more enjoyable. Simply loved It!!

An action packed new adventure on this series!

I love the world's if Susi Hawke and this one is so unique, sassy and funny, I think I like it best. With fierce assassin's (who happen to be omegas) and alphas in distress 😜 this was a cool take on the alpha and omega dynamic. I loved the Moreno Family and Dear and Nathaniel were great to read. I look forward to reading the rest of the series and getting to know all the brothers!

great short listen!

Father Nathanial has done his time. He’s served as an Anglican priest for half his life, and it’s time to hang up the cassock. During his final service, though, he scents his fated mate. Dearil is the red headed child of the Moreno family. He’s an omega assassin who dresses snappily, and always has a snarky comeback. Like all Susi Hawke books, there’s plenty of sass to go around in this one.

At the heart of this story lies two mysteries. One involving Nathaniel’s past and one involving his present circumstances. So the question is – who hired the Morenoes to kill the priest? And will Nathaniel find the one person he’s missed most over the last thirty-three years?

Plenty of fun in the book. There was even more of the Moreno clan including the matriarch who left an impression on me. And there were ninja bunnies, killer cats, and sex. Always sex.

The late Kenneth Obi narrated the first two books and although I miss him, Drew Bacca picked up the series and filled in beautifully. He’s great with the snark. So, another cute story in the assassin world and a little tiny bundle of joy at the end.

The Passionate Priest and the Atheist Assassin

Dearil Moreno is a paid assassin, within the family business.

Takes on a job but it's to kill a priest, this just seemed all sorts of wrong to them, so he seeks him out to find out why he has a price on his head.

They realise that they are fated mates within seconds of seeing each other.

This book is a brilliant installment within the series, actually I haven't personally read a bad book by Susi, such an incredible writer. Would recommend it to everyone who likes Shifter books.
