In Shining Armor

April 15, 2016

As the last surviving family member of the Grandmaster of the Knights Templar, infant Constance Lamplighter's life is already deemed precious. And with her kidnapping, the fragile alliance between werewolves and knights is threatened. Constance, however, has one ally that her abductors did not count on: her godfather, John Charming, a former knight who comes from a long line of monster hunters. When it is revealed that a deeper plan has taken root, one that affects the entire order, John must decide if his oath to the knights is worth keeping or if his freedom should come no matter the cost. VERDICT This Prince Charming may not be royal, but he lives up to his name with his deeds and not a small bit of wry humor. James's fourth book (after Timeless) continues the exploits of this knight-turned-werewolf. Fans of the works of Jim Butcher and Kevin Herne should find this an appealing addition to their bookshelves.--KC
