4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent story but very light on the romanance, March 5, 2006
What if Santa Claus was real, a death fey who refused to kill, whose purpose in life was to spread peace and love? He loves the children - all the children whether they be human, fey or goblins. The goblins didn't like it and poisoned him over a hundred years ago and left him to wander in the frozen north with the polar bears. Killing him doesn't work since he just comes back.

Adora's been hired to write his biography and feels that this is a sign that her career has hit an all time low. After all, the man thinks that he's Santa Claus! Unfortunately, he's very attractive as well and she doesn't want to get involved with anyone let alone someone who is obviously crazy.

The story is a good one, but it's more about myths, religions and a changing world than the romance. This book can be read alone; however, it will be more enjoyable if the others were read first. Most of the characters from the previous books make cameos in this one.

I am disappointed that Ms Jackson states that this is the last book in the series. She's created an interesting world and a world involved in a great deal of change. There's so much that she could do with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Addition to the Series, March 24, 2006
The Saint is the newest (and supposedly last installment) in the Wildside series created by Ms. Jackson. I have followed all her books and The Saint is a entertaining, well-written addition to the series.

The book centers around the Death Fey named Kris Kingle aka Santa Claus. He has reappeared after centuries of being lost and is ready to change the world for the better. Adora Navarra (great name!) is the biographer he hires to write his life story. The strongest thing about this book is the characterization of the two leads. The author does a great job in describing what makes Kris and Adora tick. As a centuries old Fey, I was worried that the author would not do the character of Kris justice, but I was wrong. He is a strong-minded individual with centuries of experience and it comes across while reading the book. Adora is a human with no knowledge of her Fey ancestry who must make tough changes and realizations in this book. The internal struggles of her character were believable and I loved the interaction between her and "Joy."

This book was also very heavy with political, cultural and spiritual questionings about Christmas and the state of man/species relationships. It was not heavy in the romance area and Kris and Adora do not hook up until almost the end of the book. At the end, the main characters are still struggling with making the relationship work (which I thought was really believable given who they were and what they were going through.) So don't pick up this book expecting a heavy romance story!

My one problem was that according to the author, this is the last book in the series! While I respect the fact that she chose not to wrap things up all nicely, she left so much unfinished- what happens now that humans know about the Fey? What about the characters of Chloe and Zayn? I really think their is a lot Ms. Jackson could write about in the Wildside universe and hope she considers writing more books later on down the line.

All in all a great book and overall good series.

5.0 out of 5 stars whimsical Wildside romantic fantasy , March 3, 2006
The Saint traveled the planet spreading good cheer, encouraging love between people, and destroying evil. More renowned as Santa Claus he abruptly vanished over a hundred-sixty years ago, but finally in 2006 he has been found wandering the northern wastelands living amidst polar bears and suffering from total amnesia. The Fey assume most likely the Goblins, who hijacked Christmas and painted the Ho Ho Ho fat boy image, managed to slip him a Mickey; the drug Fed wiped out his memory. Currently he recovers in the fey community of Cadalach.

Appalled to know how the Goblins stole Christmas, Kris, as his friends and family call him, hires author Adora Navarra to write his biography though the writer's more popular works collect dust on library shelves. She, in turn, is concerned about accepting a job from an obvious nut case, but needs the money that his Armani suit represents. What really frightens her is her attraction to the lunatic who hired her. Adora begins to wonder if insanity is catching as she meets fey, dragons and goblins when he takes her to his hometown. She will soon learn this is only the tip of the magic iceberg as she plays a key role in an upcoming scenario.

Fans will enjoy this fun whimsical Wildside romantic fantasy that adds depth to the chronicles that so many readers appreciate. The story line is action-packed as Kris plans to regain his original image of a hunk not afraid to fight for what he believes is right. Interestingly he finds himself fascinated by the mortal, having given up human females centuries ago. The key to this superb fantasy is Adora, whose reactions seem so perfect from initially questioning her safety with her lunatic client to pondering whether insanity is catching to falling in love while battling at her beloved's side against Goblins. Melanie Jackson provides a delightful charmer.
