Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Matthew Swift novels are an Urban Fantasy series by Kate Griffin (alias Catherine Webb, who also writes under the pseudonym Claire North). The series begins with urban sorcerer Matthew Swift waking up mysteriously in a house he used to own, two years after his violent death, with different-colored eyes and an internal narrative that thinks of himself as "we" about half the time.Every book features Matthew facing off against some seemingly-unbeatable enemy, usually a modern Eldritch Abomination. The series relies heavily on Post-Modern Magik. In this world, life is magic, and magical beings are what happen to all the "leftover life" in a city. This leads to such entities as fairies with tinfoil wings, and a faerie court relying on makeup and Hollywood-style beauty and the blue electric angels, who are the voice in the telephone come to life from humans pouring so much of our emotions into it.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The novels include: A Madness of Angels, or, The Resurrection of Matthew Swift (2009) The Midnight Mayor, or, The Inauguration of Matthew Swift (2010) The Neon Court, or, The Betrayal of Matthew Swift (2011) The Minority Council (2012)There is also a sequel series taking place after The Minority Council which follows a different protagonist. | |

Affably Evil: Robert Bakker, who continues playing Substitute Dad while killing people. Oscar Kramb, the so-called Fairy Godmother, also qualifies. | |

Afterlife Express: More like Afterlife Bus: the Night Bus collects the spirits of those who died alone in the dark. | |

All Women Love Shoes: Inverted, as women buy more shoes but men emotionally invest in them. | |

Action Girl | |
| Matthew Swift / int_dae5c997 | comment |
Action Girl: Oda is probably the biggest in the series, but Penny's level of magical badassery qualifies her as well, plus Vera of the White Clan and the female Aldermen. | |
