Siobhan Quinn is half werewolf, half vampire; she was bitten by both on the same night. She was a messed up junkie before she was bitten and now well, she just fixes on blood not heroine. Quinn--calling her Siobhan will get you killed--is an assassin and doesn't feel one bit bad about it. She goes though life taking out whoever she's sent after and kills people every time she gets hungry. Her boss B, yes just B, has sent her to find the missing daughter of a powerful magic-using human. In the process, Quinn discovers she is actually searching for an extremely old and powerful object, and she is not the only one searching. There are attempts on her life, and she kills a few monsters along the way as she tries to stop her inevitable death, again.
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.
