My teaser today is from a book I received from Netgalley; Charming (Pax Arcana #1) by Elliott James. If the title makes you think of a fairy tale think again. This tease sets the tone for the book. Charming is Urban Fantasy written in the first person and John Charming is the main character. I loved the book. If you want to know more look for my review of Charming on September 26.
"But make no mistake: the reason there are so many stories about "Prince" Charming is that there was never one man - the Charming were an entire family line standing between humanity and all others generation after generation, and in the old days it wa common to give any monster killer in a story royal status. That is a heavy burden, but I carried my name proudly for as long as I was able."
