The Reaper

Men in the Shadows #1

by Garry Michael

“I chose to live my life in the shadows, and one day it could get me killed.”

Obliterate.
Extinguish.
Repeat.

Serving justice was my specialty. I was a ruthless monster, a fierce hunter, a mad sadist, and the list went on. But one thing I wasn’t… hunted. A failed ambush had me questioning everything I knew, and I would track whoever was responsible for the attack on me if it was the last thing I’d ever do.

Then I met the vagabond priest, drifting from one mission to the next, looking for a place to call home. The innocent and divine priest turned out to be anything but. I was addicted, and once I had my claws in something, I stopped at nothing to get what I wanted. One problem. The sinfully beautiful Father Saint James forced me to face my fears and I held nothing back. He was a forbidden fruit and after I had a bite, he had me spilling my darkest secrets including a labyrinth of an underground society with a questionable moral compass.

Too bad I had to kill him now.

❝I can keep a secret,❞ he whispered, the tip of his tongue licking my lobe. ❝It’ll be our dirty little one, Father.❞

well, that was completely unexpected. health and archer were ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

this was dark, intense, SEXY, and so twisty. there was not one dull moment during this. i wanted to inhale this book as fast as possible bc i just wanted all the secrets to be revealed. and when they did? WOW...i gotta say, i did not expect that. but it was so so good.

❝I can take you to heaven if you want … again. Just say the word, Father,❞ he said.

archer is a assassin and heath is a priest (yess we have the forbidden goodness 😩). someone attempted to ambush archer and failed and now he's set out to find who attempted to kill him. but along the way his eyes land on a certain priest and he becomes instantly obsessed. and i mean OBSESSED. archer stalks him 👀 and even moves in across the street of health so he can watch him. this book is straight up insta obsession and attraction/lust, but it's not insta love which i appreciated. i was more so wondering how these two were going to make things work bc there was so many secrets and lies.

I had no clue what was budding between us. It was foreign to me, and it happened in the wrong place at the wrong time, but I hoped to live long enough to find out.

these two were toxic. they fight and beat each other up during sex. they punch, slap, and spit at each other. just the aggression and how volatile they were was 🔥 but when they are together, you can't help but feel the chemistry they have despite everything and they couldn't deny it either. what i really loved about this book was that it had heavy emphasis on when an mc feels things for the other mc that he's never felt before. that trope is >>> archer stops himself from feeling any emotions and growing attachments to other people. he loves sex, but he doesn't sleep with the same person twice. but when he finds health, everything changes. i just LOVED that so much. so what starts as an obsession becomes still an obsession but add in protective af, touch him and die, and an all consuming toxic love. and the sex? so hot. this also had some surprisingly soft moments too considering everything 💀

When choosing between comfort or my arms wrapped around Archer, I’d pick him every time.

🥺

anyway, i had so much fun reading this. the only thing i wish was that there was more romance. i read only romance so it's what i'm rooting for the most and this was very plot heavy. which i didn't mind here bc i was on the edge on my seat the whole time and what we got for the romance was top tier. it was like 40% romance, 60% plot. This ends on a HEA for the couple, but there is going to be an overarching plot and i'm already in need of the second book right now.

note: i need to mention this. this book has TWO blonde mcs. like omg???

what to expect:
❤️‍🔥 protective and obsessive mc
❤️‍🔥 dark romance
❤️‍🔥 priest x assassin
❤️‍🔥 toxic but so addicting
❤️‍🔥 touch him and die
❤️‍🔥 PLOT TWIST
❤️‍🔥 sexy times in the confession booth
❤️‍🔥 and just so so spicyyy

This book took me by surprise, seriously, it’s not even my usual type of read, but WOW, I couldn’t put it down!
Both MCs are strong, capable, and refreshingly not boring. Sure, there’s some cheesiness woven in, but that’s part of the charm. It’s the kind of over-the-top fun that keeps you entertained without fail.
The twists? So good! They’re perfectly placed and had me reeling in the best way.

I’m officially hooked and can’t wait to dive into the sequel. If you’re looking for a story that’s high-energy, entertaining, and full of surprises, don’t sleep on this one!

**** 3.5 stars ****

The Reaper has an interesting and unique plot with an unexpected twist.
Tension in spades, which I love.
Sizzling chemistry, rough sex.
Besides, the forbidden aspect was delicious!



Sadly, they fell for each other too quickly. I wish that fantastic chemistry and tension were more explored and developed. Maybe I could have overlooked the instalove.

⭐︎ 4.5 Badass Assassin Stars Rounded Up! ⭐︎

My first book by this author was definitely a win.

The chemistry? ✅
The steam? ✅
The romance? ✅
The intensity? ✅

Archer aka 'The Reaper' is a badass assassin, one of the best in the business. For 12 years, he's lived this life, ever since he was 19 and taken out of his normal life with his grandparents to work for something called 'The Firm' which has it's hand in basically everything, even the US government.

And they claim to be vigilantes, taking out really bad people, but not always. There's a lot of innocent people too that they kill.

Then there's Heath, the new priest at a church in Boston, who seems to have more going on than he appears.

But when Archer steps into that confessional and they meet, it's sizzling between them from then on. Heath becomes an obsession for Archer, so much so that he buys an apartment across from the house Heath is living on on church grounds to be able to spy on him through his window. For naughty purposes, of course.

Heath can't really get Archer out his mind either, and the things these two get up to...especially their first time in that confessional...whoo boy *fansself*

As things come to a head, things come to light. Such as what's really going on with Heath - I suspected something more the whole time and I was right! - and what about his missing brother? What exactly is Archer doing that has put a target on his back?

Who can Archer trust? Who can Heath? It's a web of death and lies and destruction as Archer and Heath's lives become more and more entangled, and the more they can't stay away from each other.

My only *teensy* niggle that had me give this .5 stars off is, I felt like their "I love you's" actually came too soon?

I don't know if the next book or books will be about them, and if not maybe that's why they were a little rushed? But if there *is* more in this series with these two at the focus, I do wish the "I love you's" would have waited.

These two were so sexy together and so hot and scorching and the foundations for love *were* there. Their surprising moments of tenderness between the roughness of their encounters showed there was a deeper connection there.

They were definitely on their way to love and I *felt* that, so hard. It was SO GOOD. I just think they hadn't quite built to "I love you" yet by the time we got them at the end. I dunno, I don't think these two were there yet.

With Archer so closed off for so long, and trying to stay closed off, and Heath with his own shit going on, it felt like they had held back for long enough that to dive right into that felt rushed for me.

BUT, other than that, I adored this and I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future. A definite win for me for my first outing with this author, and a definite recommend by me.

Whoever the next book is about - maybe Tobias? Or what about Andrew? Or these two again❤️ - I can't wait for it. Onto the next!

I love any book with a priest. I don’t know what it is, maybe a guilty pleasure, but something about a priest and a bad boy just does it for me. The reaper did its job well : it was sexy, fast paced, thrilling with just a smidge of twists for me to be shook ;)

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

This ticked off all the boxes for me in terms of a good dark romance.

It has all the ingredients I like in a dark romance. Blood, violence, corruption, non-stop action, betrayal, surprise revelations, crazy intense sex—you name it, it has it all. And at the centre of it all, we have two characters that are very different from how they initially appear to be.

There were a lot of times this book caught me off guard and kept me hooked till the last page.

And the way the book ends leaves so much potential for the other books to come.

Really enjoyed it. 5 stars all the way!!

the romance was an A for me but the rest not so much. really enjoyed this though.

[Colleen (colleenreads40) · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Reaper is a dark MM romance by author Garry Michael. It is the first in his Men in the Shadows series. This book is told from a first person dual point of view and has a guaranteed happily ever after. You can expect an elusive assassin, a distinguished priest, plenty of spice, some unexpected emotions, and lots of suspense, twists, and turns.

As always, please review the content and trigger warnings to decide if this book is right for you. Note that this list of warnings may be incomplete: The Reaper contains elements of dark romance, gruesome and violent scenes including murder, and religious sexual explorations. If you've read any of the author's previously published works, you may find this book on the darker side of the spectrum.

As a man of the cloth and a vessel for God, I had already breached several layers of protocol, but I’d lost all sense of right or wrong. My oath of celibacy had already been tarnished, and here I sat, a small barrier between me and a man I secretly craved. I wanted him to use my pious body. To take control.

This was my first book by Garry Michael, and it even reading it for the second time, it drew me in! I'm a big fan of some suspense elements with my romance, and this darker romance really delivered. We have Archer, an elite assassin that doesn't allow people to get close to him. When he meets Father Saint James during his regular confessions, his world is turned upside down when Heath becomes the object of his obsession. Things aren't always what they seem though. This book has lots of twists and turns that I didn't see coming. There's also the forbidden element in this book as Heath fights everything he's been taught over his time as a Catholic priest.

I didn't find the religious element of this story to be so overpowering. Once we learn Heath's true identity, it becomes clear why. The religious element to this story contributes to the forbidden aspect though. And that spicy scene in the confessional booth? Well, let's just say it's going to live in my mind rent-free. I loved watching Archer's character develop as he slowly opened up to Heath. It becomes clear that his crass and blunt exterior is just a shield he uses to protect himself from getting hurt again. This is a great dark romance without being too dark. It would be great if you're looking to start reading on the darker side of things.

I did a re-read to prepare myself for the next book, The Cult: Men in the Shadows Book 2, and I'm very much looking forward to Tobias's story!

I brought our faces together, our lips finding each other’s. We kissed like there was no tomorrow. He quenched my thirst and fed my soul.

"Who knew they made priests like that?"

Ikr, Archer! I am wondering the same damn thing! 😏💋😈💜 Especially after that twist. 😮‍💨😮‍💨❤️‍🔥

Holy fuck, (all puns intended lol) I loved this book! Archer and Heath were such amazing, matter-of-fact and calculatively delicious characters that I couldn't stop tripping and falling to that pit of love for them.

I get asked about my fav tropes quite often but you know what? I don't have them (ik ik, quite a mindfuck). Tbh, My reading doesn't function on tropes... It functions on intensity and plot. If the tension in a book is high (no matter which damn emotion it is) and it has a good, heart-n-mind satisfying plot, I become a happy girl lol.

This book had all that IN SPADES. Plus some cherries on top. The climax was an absolute delight. The characters were beautifully and dangerously REAL. The side characters had very impressive and distinct personalities.
Also, the way you get sucked into the intensity, lethality and paranoia of the environment created by the author is just 🤌

And the icing on this cake was THE SEX. Omg that confessional scene and the "sleeping" Scene had me turning into smoke with the heat!! I was positively melting. 🫠🫠🫠😮‍💨🥵 The added tabbo aspect of the characters being an assassin and a priest made it all the more thrilling.

It was the perfect combination of obsession, secrets, dripping sex appeal and danger surrounding deadly characters. I def recommend it. 🤍✨🖤🔥

Reread #1 - June 2024

Preparing myself for the next book in the series and I needed a refresher on the plot. I am super excited for Tobias' book. Also... I forgot how insanely hot these two are 🥵🥵

First Read - February 2023

Rating 4.5

This book was dark, intense and sexy and kept me on the edge of my seat!

Archer (“The Reaper”) is an assassin and has been in this lifestyle (unwillingly) since he was 19. He meets our newest priest (Heath) at the local church and instantly becomes slightly obsessed with him (hiiii stalking). Heath is equally as intrigued by this mysterious, dangerous man who has come to confess his sins to him.

Things heat up pretty quickly between these two. But there is also an underlying tenderness and a deeper connection that is forming along the way.

I will say that the pacing with the “I love you’s” near the end felt a tiny bit rushed for me but otherwise I absolutely loved these two together. Their relationship was unconventional but so right for them.

And the hot as fuck steam in this one?! Let me tell you…. 🥵 The dirty talk?!? The aggression?!? Like literally half fighting each other while fucking… damn! These two had scorching hot chemistry.

The plot was a wild ride! I admit I felt a bit confused at first but when the pieces started falling into place 🤯 Then the plot really amps up, we don’t know who we can trust, there is action, violence, and gritty intrigue 👌

I can’t wait for the next one in the series to see how the overarching plot progresses. I am hooked. And I also am hoping to see some of these side characters potentially find their HEA 👀

[Mariam, · Rating 3 out of 5]

There was something about him that fascinated me. He was a living contradiction. He was lethal, no doubt about it, but it was his principles and the way he was willing to die for what he believed in that made me admire him even more.

This book was a push and pull of contradiction.

The plot was vague, and at the beginning, it was interesting and exciting to continue and dissect the breadcrumbs this book had in store.

But the vagueness that pulled me in the story? Oh, it got real boring and exasperating. I was in the middle of a chapter, at around 40-50% of the book, and I had no clue what was happening, and it wasn't an enjoyable feeling because nothing had really happened, even though the author foreshadowed that something was happening (??? I think??) or was going to happen (????) The cycle basically repeated itself until the 70-75% of the book.

But Archer was interesting, so I continued.

I looked down at my smoking gun, my only friend.




It was a privilege passed down through generations; or maybe it was a curse, some days I wasn’t sure.




This life would kill me, no doubt about it, but not today.

Nonetheless, the last 25% of the book was where the action, the secrets and basically the heart of the (very simple) plot lay, and it was undoubtedly the most enjoyable and thrilling part.

Simply put, the last portion of the book was good enough to convince me to read the next book, whenever that will be, or if there ever will be.

This author really likes to seal us in the blind.

Amazing twist! I never saw it coming. Might of pulled an all nighter to finish this book but I have no regrets. Once the book really picks up and the romance gets started, you can’t put it down!

Heath and Archer<3 Oh how much I loved reading about them and experiencing their story. Honestly wish there was more pages in this book so I could read more about their love story after everything happened.

I went into this book almost completely blind and I recommend others do the same.

Priest x assassin trope has a hook on me now❤️

Safety:
• No OW/OM drama or ex’s show up
• One scene where Archer went to a club with the intention of having sex/ a threesome with two guys. It stopped before anything happened.
• Archer doesn’t kiss and he only does hookups. No hooking up with the same person twice.
• Heath has been with a few guys before but it seemed like he’s been celibate for a while (at least since joining the priesthood)
• Strict t/b but an equal power dynamic in the relationship imo

First of all what a ride!
the story was full of dirty,hot, steamy and action filled moments and the plot twist caught me fully by surprise I didn’t see that coming 👀

Both characters the reaper (Archer) and the priest (heath) were very well written. I enjoyed them both immensely and their dynamic between them was amazing!

And I have to say I really enjoyed the dirty talk and aggressive hot fucking they both had😩🖤

Archer and Heath

This book was just okay for me. It took me a while to get into it, although it did get better towards the end. I can't explain in words, but it was just missing that X factor I need in a story. I liked this, but I didn't love it.

[My Dark Romance · Rating 4 out of 5]

"It’ll be our dirty little secret, Father."

Oh Garry, Garry, Garry what did you do? Because you completely caught me off guard. I have to admit I did not see that plot twist coming. But holy hell, I loved it!

I did find it weird that the Priest was so forward, I mean he's a priest... a dirty dirty priest.. hmmm...

The assassin called The Reaper aka Archer works for The Firmas their best assassin and when he mets a priest aka Heath, a hot one of course... He becomes obssessed. They are immediately attracted to each other. Both feeling sorta wrong about it but also very right...

"There was a line where obsession ended and insanity began. I was not a betting man, but if I was, I’d wager I had just crossed that line ten times."

And let me tell you the steam is great... it's rough and passionate and at one point it involves the confessional booth. Yep folks, the Assassin and The Priest are doing it... dirty :)

"Come on, play with your cock, I prayed, then realized just how fucked up that was. Here I was, praying for a priest to jack his meat while I jerked off in sync with his rhythm. That alone should be enough to stop me—but then again, it was me. Call me sick, but who wasn’t these days?"

It packs so much great action and when they have to run for their lives it turns in to an action movie. Love it!

People, just go in blind because what can I say not to spoil anything at this point?

I am so glad to see this is going to be a series. Tobias? Yes, please and thanks :)

Check TW's if you're sensitive: Murder, stalking, rough sex and lot's of butt stuff ;)

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Reaper is an assassin who was born to the profession. He never had a choice, but he always thought he was at least ridding the world of monstrous people who had escaped their just punishment. Now, he's not so sure. Aside from his assignments from The Firm, he visits the nearby Catholic Church to make some non-specific confessions. While in the confessional, he's surprised that the former priest is no longer at the church, but when he meets the new priest, he highly attracted to him.

Father James has his own secrets, but he's also committed to serving his parishioners. He's always tried to push down his attraction to men, but something about this man, who refuses to give him his name, has him thinking some sinful thoughts. He has few regrets and he is powerless to stop whatever is developing between them.

This is the first book I've read by this author and I became aware of him because I've read a number of his husband's books. I'm glad I found him. This book has danger, mystery, violent encounters, rough passion, and a strong love. Very entertaining!

I'm fucking shaken to the darkest recesses of my mind by how good this book was.

The expectations were high, I'm not gonna lie but the author delivered. Excellent smut, amazing characters, and LOTS of twists!

The twists had my jaw hitting the floor quite often. This woman was too stunned to speak.

Archer (H) has worked for The Firm the majority of his life. He is a skilled assassin that follows any assignment that is given to him without any second thought. That is until he realises that The Firm is not what he thought he was and now he races against the time to expose them.

Heath (H) is a priest. He recently arrived to Boston because this is where he is appointed now by the church. He's a mysterious man with a weird past. To say that I was surprised with him in the end would be an understatement.

𝐅𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 - 𝐮𝐩 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞

The story didn't make sense to me up until 40%. Archer and Heath were difficult to decipher. They were both keeping secrets.

Archer starts lusting after Heath the moment he first confesses to him. The priest is his new obsession.

The "predatory" vibes of him seriously fucked me up. The creepy assassin appears out of the fucking nowhere, watches his target and has these filthy thoughts about him. He even goes above and beyond with breaking in his house numerous times.

🖤 When he is the best hole he has ever fucked, a reader knows they're in for a wild ride. I'm weirdly fascinated by scenes where the hero is speechless from the way the other main character is talking to them and they just obey. Heath acting super innocent but also horny and impatient as fuck had me 💦

𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚: I totally read this book for the priest/sinner vibes.
What? Don't you judge me. These two were killing me with their horny dog attitude.

I love dark romance. Make it gritty, raw with a touch of forbidden and I'm all over it.

Good lorrrrrrdddd an assassin and a priest.. I would have sold my soul to be in that confessional booth!! (Chapter 15.. IYKYK🔥🔥)



This book was delicious and IDGAF what you think but I am giving it a 5🌶️ simply because these moments are HOT! The smut wasn't overdone having the perfect amount of scenes throughout the book although, I would have been happy with more as it was honestly some of the best written spice I have read in a loonggggggg time!

The same goes for how the storyline was written, it had a lot of depth as did the two MMC's and the overall plot twist was great. I had this sitting in my Kindle for a long time and finally picked it up, I SHOULD HAVE READ IT EARLIER!!

'You don't know pain. ... The kind of pain that extinguishes hope and destroys any shred of happiness because it's dangerous to feel anything at all.'


A damn fine dark MM romance that gets 5 bright stars from me.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


I picked this up after a rough day to unwind before sleep and ended up turning the last page at 3am. Because I couldn't stop reading.


I came for the taboo and the forbidden romance. I stayed for the gripping mystery and movie like action, for the great characters and the feeling leaping from the page. 


I loved the way attraction and lust slowly deepened and turned into something more. I loved the way walls slowly crumbled and guards were let down. I loved the Priest and adored The Reaper. They were both an enigma I wanted to solve. But the beauty within Reaper's chaos was downright irressistible.


The smut is rough and roudy and just perfect for those two. 

The mystery is compelling and the plot just right to keep you guessing at the edge of the seat. Complete with a perfect 'well... Shit! I did NOT see that coming!' kind of twist.

I literally read the first sentences of one certain chapter and stopped. Figuratively picked my jaw off the floor then re-read the sentences. Stopped again and literally muttered: 'Well .. shit! '

Shook my head in disbelief because I usually see them coming but not this. This was a sneaky and totally unexpected solid pull of the rug under the reader's feet to land him in an ungracious heap on the butt.

And I'm gonna tip my hat for the author here because that was chef's kiss.


The Reaper has just set Garry Michael on my auto-buy list.

A damn fine read if you ask me.

I’m going to keep this short and dirty (cause there ain’t no sweet in this one!)

Holy fuckin hell! A mysterious assassin. A sexy priest. Count me all the way in. I don’t want to give anything away so just dive in and enjoy the ride!

If you’ve read any of Garry’s books before, forget everything you think you know. He gave us gritty and scandalous! Obsession and intrigue! Ooh and how he had me in a chokehold! This is darker and wildly exciting! You want that rough passion? You want that forbidden attraction? Hold on to your butts!

We got ourselves a man who can deliver the heat while also keeping us guessing! And I AM HERE FOR IT!!!!

I’m so excited to see what in store for the rest of the series!!

I'm glad I went into this without reading any reviews and barely reading the synopsis. I trusted the author and I can say that I was not let down. This was hot but also beautiful to read. I have read much darker than this but please read the trigger warnings as there is definitely violence. It lost a bit of the momentum after the 70% mark, but that was my fault as I expected the plot to go a different way. Father/Sinner with a great twist and all the hotness.

[Andrea ( books_fiction_desire ) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Must read!

I was waiting to read The Reaper from the moment I first found out about it and couldn’t wait for the day of release. Knowing that it’s going to be darker than any other of Garry’s work I was excited for it. This was a true page turner from the start. The story was dark, twisted with a great plot and super steamy!

The Reaper had no choice but to kill and be dedicated to The Firm but the Priest, that I didn’t expect. There were questions about him but when the twist came out I was in big surprise to find out what secrets he had.

I absolutely loved this story and intensity of it and would definitely highly recommended it!!!
