"Waiting On" Wednesday - Charming

"Waiting On"  Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week I'm waiting on...  

Charming by Elliott James

* Book will be released September 24, 2013
Check out the description from Barnes & Noble:

"John Charming isn't your average Prince...

He comes from a line of Charmings -- an illustrious family of dragon slayers, witch-finders and killers dating back to before the fall of Rome. Trained by a modern day version of the Knights Templar, monster hunters who have updated their methods from chain mail and crossbows to Kevlar and shotguns, John Charming was one of the best--until a curse made him one of the abominations the Knights were sworn to hunt.

That was a lifetime ago. Now, John tends bar under an assumed name in rural Virginia and leads a peaceful, quiet life. That is, until a vampire and a blonde walked into his bar..."

This looks like an interesting start to a series.  I'm a big fan of mythology and always like to check out how myths are made new via fantasy/urban fantasy books.  The whole knight turned into a monster character looks like it'll be an intriguing read.
