This week's Waiting on Wednesday selection is:
By Kathleen Tierney
Release Date: February 5, 2013
Publisher: Roc
Pages: 288
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.
Normally I might not necessarily highlight "Blood Oranges" as WoW title, writing it off as another vampire/werewolf bit of paranormal fiction in a genre littered with books just like it. But as Kathleen Tierney is actually a pseudonym for author Caitlin R. Kiernan I'm immediately intrigued. Kiernan has written some excellent fantasy fiction in the past and I have high hopes that "Blood Oranges" will show similar depth and imagination as her previous books.

Hi, there!
Oh, I'm definitely intrigued! I'm a longtime fan of paranormal fiction (romance, mostly) and urban fantasy. So this one is definitely right up my alley! Although I've never heard of this author before (either with her real name or her pseudonym), it sure looks like she's an interesting writer. So this book is going right onto my Goodreads TBR shelf. Thanks for featuring it!! : )
Interesting. I have not read Kiernan's work before but...yes intriguing
This one sounds really intriguing. I always mean to read more books from this genre.

Sounds like an interesting book, although I find it strange that she lists both names on the cover. )
I went with a little hard sci-fi for my WOW.
This sounds like it will be great. Nice pick.
