Praise for Red Delicious "Gritty urban fantasy meets old-fashioned noir in this high octane sequel to Blood Oranges."-Publishers Weekly "[A] rollicking good time...witty and snide and wonderfully awful."-Tor.com "It feels great to be back in the world of Siobhan Quinn...The fast-paced, volatile and unpredictable nature of the story means there is never a dull moment."-The Bibliosanctum Praise for Blood Oranges "The New England setting is colorful and convincing, and Tierney populates it with a weird and splendid set of supernatural beings...A memorably exhilarating and engaging experience."-Kirkus Reviews "An engagingly fresh perspective to well-trod territory...Colorful side characters and a fully realized setting make this a fast-paced series opener well worth checking out."-Publishers Weekly "[Kiernan] has made it her business to turn the comfortable genres of imaginative fiction inside out. Now writing as Kathleen Tierney she introduces a heroine as fascinating and compelling as she is foul-mouthed and impatient."-Library Journal "[A] fast-paced, profane, and combustive little thriller."-The Black Letters
