Siobhan Quinn series by Kathleen Tierney

Kathleen Rory Tierney, despite her very Irish name, has never once left her home state of Mississippi. She is a five-time recipient of the Howling Poughkeepsie Prize for Fictionalized Biographies of Dubious Reliability, and her haiku has been collected in three volumes—Severed Shrews and Other Perambulations, The Lives and Times of a Russion Entomologist, and I Wrote This While You Were Writing Reviews for Amazon.com. She currently resides in a shotgun shack in Bird in the Hand, Pennsylvania, where she whiles away the time polishing antique sex toys. Red Delicious is her second novel, written shortly after her untimely demise during a stampede of guinea fowl.

Genre: Fiction, Fantasy

01. Blood Oranges (February 2013): My name’s Quinn.

If you buy into my reputation, I’m the most notorious demon hunter in New England. But rumors of my badassery have been slightly exaggerated. Instead of having kung-fu skills and a closet full of medieval weapons, I’m an ex-junkie with a talent for being in the wrong place at the right time. Or the right place at the wrong time. Or…whatever.

Wanted for crimes against inhumanity I (mostly) didn’t commit, I was nearly a midnight snack for a werewolf until I was “saved” by a vampire calling itself the Bride of Quiet. Already cursed by a werewolf bite, the vamp took a pint out of me too.

So now… now, well, you wouldn’t think it could get worse, but you’d be dead wrong.

02. Red Delicious (February 2014): Siobhan Quinn is back and working a new case in the dark and satirical sequel to Blood Oranges.

Half-vampire, half-werewolf Siobhan Quinn survived her initiation into the world of demons and monsters. But staying alive as she becomes entangled in underworld politics might prove to be more difficult.

When the daughter of a prominent necromancer vanishes, it's up to Quinn to find the girl. But her search will land her directly in the middle of a struggle between competing forces searching for an ancient artifact of almost unimaginable power...
