RED DELICIOUS by Kathleen Tierney is told with Quinn speaking directly to the reader, and though Quinn's thoughts are a little ADHD sometimes, RED DELICIOUS is a great idea, with a strong anti-hero as the lead character, and fun supporting characters. Quinn's unapologetic style and shoot- first attitude are fun to read. Quinn tends to literally tell you she is pulling you out of the story, that she doesn't care, and then she goes off on a tangent. This does more to pull you out than just telling the story would. RED DELICIOUS is a great concept and funny. It's just a little overwhelming at times.
Book Summary
Meet Siobhan Quinn--half werewolf, half vampire, and completely screwed. After successfully transitioning from being a notorious junkie demon hunter into a notorious werepire hit man, she's become a full-fledged member of the world of horrors. But her initiation into the underbelly of supernatural society hasn't earned her any friends. Not only is she being hounded by a former priest with a vendetta against the undead, but her boss, Mr. B, has no qualms about sending her on missions pretty much guaranteed to end her life...again.
When the daughter of a prominent Rhode Island necromancer goes missing, Quinn is given the thankless job of tracking her down before her father finds out and raises (literal) hell. The only problem is that the girl is caught up in something much bigger than a simple vanishing act. Something related to an ancient magical totem so powerful a host of distinctly unsavory folks in three dimensions would kill to get their hands on it. And Quinn's the lucky monster caught in the cross fire.
