The Saint

The Saint, Melanie Jackson.  This last of Jackson's goblin books takes on Santa Claus.  I've always had an amused appreciation for Jackson's dabbling with historical figures, but this one should be read with tongue even more firmly in cheek, while applauding the sheer audacity of making Saint Nick an immortal drop dead gorgeous death god with a hand in everything from the Green Man legends to the Jesus myth.  As with many of her titles, a withdrawn young woman unaware of her fey blood comes into contact with the reality of the paranormal - in this case it's a ghostwriter with a fire problem that's hired to craft Nick's autobiography.  Skillfully executed, and a step above many entries in the paranormal romance genre.
