John Charming is an outcast. He was raised as a knight
Templar but he found himself hunted by them when it was discovered that he was
part werewolf. After the knights killed Allison, his fiancée, he became a
lower, always fighting the wolf inside. He never expected that his life would
be turned upside down when Sig, a Valkyrie vampire hunter, walked into the bar
he managed.
Sig is in a bad relationship but doesn’t have the heart to
leave him as he is part of her team that hunts monsters. When she returns to
the bar and finds John under attack from vampires, she steps in to save him and
he ends up working with her team.
I really liked John and Sig. Their conflicts were realistic
and worked within the perimeters of the story. Charming is the first in what I
hope is a long series, and I do hope Sig returns to work with John. They really
make a great team. There is no romanticizing the vampire element in this book,
and the villains are written chillingly.
