Meet Siobhan QuinnHalf vampire, half werewolf, and retired monster hunter. Or so she thought
Three years have passed since Quinn turned her back on Providence, Rhode Islands seedy supernatural underbelly, walking out on Mr. B. and taking a bus headed anywhere. She hoped her escape would give her some peace from the endless parade of horrors. But a dead girl who quarrels with the moon cant catch a break, and, on the streets of Manhattan, Quinn finds herself caught between a rock and a hard place. Again.
What do you do when youre stuck in the middle of a three-million-year-old grudge match between the ghouls and the djinn, accidentally in possession of a hellish artifact that could turn the tide of the war, all the while being hunted by depraved half-ghoul twins intent on taking the object and ushering in a terrifying Dark Age?
Especially when youve fallen in love with the woman who got you into this messand you aint nobodys hero
