REAL ESTATE IS HELL - SOMETIMES LITERALLYWedged between real estate speculators, startup bros, and gentrified neighborhoods, it's gotten hard to get by in San Francisco and it's getting even harder all the time. Now two witches have decided the time has come to do something about it.Using all their arcane skills, Iria - tall, dark, and genderqueer - and their partner and mentor, Madge - the granddaughter of Chinese immigrants and a powerful magician - have summoned back to the world of the living one of San Francisco's greatest eccentric heroes: Joshua Norton, self-declared Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico. In the 19th century he issued imperial proclamations intended to combat prejudice and advance the interests of the destitute and downtrodden. Binding him to themselves and to the city, Iria and Madge need Norton's charisma and tireless dedication to the city to help them save the city from a demon of greed.With an exciting combination of spell-slinging and derring-do, Norton and his modern-day patrons embark on a series of adventures across San Francisco's past and present in search of the keys to the city: objects from its past they can use in the present to save the city's future from a demon of greed and his tireless efforts to rob San Francisco of its soul forever!

It says quite a bit about this story that I'm still entranced and delighted on my third read. It feels like a visit with old friends.
REREAD UPDATE:
No idea why I only gave 4 stars to this fantastic urban fantasy novella the first time I read it. I must have been in a mood. It has an exciting plot, complex characters, a diverse cast, and a seasoning of social commentary. It's an excellent adventure, and I love it. On to the second book!
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
San Francisco is trapped under the machinations of Mammon, Prince of Hell. Desperate to protect their beloved home, two witches reach back into the past to pull forward into modern times the hero the city needs again— the Emperor Norton.  In a race against disasters and demonic forces, Madge and Iria send Joshua across time in a quest to save the Golden city.
This exciting novella is a promising start to a paranormal series both historical and contemporary. ( )
