CHARMING / Elliott James / 391 Pages

In CHARMING, the author re-imagines a classic fairy tale character with an  paranormal twist; the first in his 'Pax Arcana' series. James writes a snarky, first person, narrative introducing readers to John Charming. Yes, as in Prince Charming, well ... sort of.

John was trained to be a modern-day Knight Templar, an entire family of Charmings no less, who hunt monsters and defend humans. Unfortunately a curse ended up changing all that, turning him into a fugitive. Now he moves from town to town, job to job, trying to stay off the Knight's radar and deal with what the curse has done to him. Then one day a tall, mysterious blonde AND a vampire walk into his bar ...

For those who like humor in action-packed, paranormal fiction or who enjoy Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden, first introduced in Storm Front.
