Publisher Description
Once upon a time, in our ordinary world, there was a grandmother.
She died.
She was reborn as a Vampire in a world of Magick.
The grandmother de-aged. Her ailments healed, her body became strong, and her wrinkles faded.
Her wisdom, however, did not diminish. She knew monsters need monstrous names, so they never forget the monsters they are.
She named herself Grendel, after the medieval haunter of borderlands and drinker of warriors’ blood, vanquished by the hero Beowulf.
The name seems appropriate. Grendel the Grandmother haunts the borderlands and drinks the blood of (mostly) evil warriors.
But in a Magickal world, names don’t just have meanings—they are prophecies.
And a new hero is rising. He has been molded since birth to fight evil and been given the skills to vanquish the most insidious evil of all: Vampires.
His name is Beowulf, and he’s coming for Grendel.
Grendel & Beowulf is a standalone adventure in Urban Magick & Folklore, and it is perfect for new readers and fans alike.

Loved it but be warned, it’s not a complete story
This book is part of a series, but I honestly didn’t even realise that until after I started the next book.
I was swept into a world of Magick, where vampires battle for the greater good and a vampire hunter must reconsider all the values he has been brought up with. The attraction between the two is palpable (understandable as they’ve been thrust together with no one else to rely on).
I was however a bit taken aback by the story just ending, forcing you read the next two books of you want to know if they can make their relationship work.
