The Iron Witch by Karen Mahoney
There is both a craze and a stigma attached to urban fantasy at present. The teenage market is saturated with books about vampires, witches and the like set in the sleepy suburbs of various parts of America. Amongst the hundreds of trashy throwaway novels there are some real gems and I think this series is one of them. The balance is just right ...
