This was an adorably sweet story. I love good vs evil and I love angels so this was a plus on so many levels. I was happy with the characters and I was sad with them. The writing made me feel with them and made me feel as if I was in the story with them. I love when a writer yanks me into the story so I am part of it with the characters. Damascus was awesome but I will admit... his brother was hotter ;) I know he wasn't the "good" one but what can I say... I love a good bad boy. Amelia was very strong and smart. She was pretty and sassy and I loved her character. I loved who she was and how she loved. I was glad that it wasn't just a "wam bam we love each other no issues" type story. They had issues, they had happiness and sadness, and it wasn't easy. It was a very good story and I would recommend it to my YA loving friends for sure.
  
Things are gearing up for Christmas in July in the town of Rudolph, New York, and Merry Wilkinson is looking forward to the town’s new tradition, Santa arriving for his vacation in a boat parade. However, things get complicated when her ex-fiance, Max Folger, shows up in town wanting to rekindle his relationship with Merry. When he turns up dead in Merry’s shop, she finds herself drawn into the investigation. Can she figure out what is going on?

I love this series for the Christmas spirit that author Vicki Delany infuses into every page, and just because this book is set in July, that Christmas spirit hasn’t diminished at all. The mystery takes off into some surprising areas that kept me turning pages until I reached the end. The series regulars are their normal charming selves, and I was pleasantly surprised by the growth we saw in the suspects as well.

NOTE: I received a copy of this book.

Refreshing to see the use of electricity and technology in modern day magic, instead of the usual trope of magic interfering negatively with tech. (0 more)
Enter the world of the Urban Sorcerer. Gone are the days when magic was solely the realm of those connected with nature, new technologies have meant new magic. For where there is life, there is magic, and that magic has been born out of the everyday lives of those living there. From the summoning of mythical bin lorries to combat a giant litterbug, to the use of the symbols and regulations of the London Underground as a warding spell, this breathes a whole new, modern life into the world of magic.

There is a shadowy evil stalking London. Almost all the sorcerers there have been killed. Matthew Swift had been one of them, but now he's back, this time with with the angels of the telephone wires on his side. (Or so he hopes, the situation is... complicated.) And he's not about to go down again without a fight.
