First of all, let me be clear, I LOVE Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I hate sounding so cliche', I could just gag, but it is one of my favorite novels of all time. Although, I am reluctant to admit, I had not read it until I was 30 years old. My education had previously led me through Persuasion, Emma and Sense and Sensibility, so I was not completely Austen illiterate before then. (Who said an English Major was a waste?) Still, the idea of fan fiction? Jane Austen fan fiction? Really?A book review haiku -- At first it was slow.And then it got terrible.No pun: this book sucks.I want to write a review where I studiously analyze every awful thing in this book, but I don't see the point in wasting too much effort on a review of a book the author so clearly didn't spend any effort on writing. However, just to clear this junk from my brain (spoilers): Stop with the clunky P&P references, we know you read the book, that's why you wrote this one. Except that, Lizzy is just not
When I heard Amanda Grange wrote a sequel to this classic novel and gave it a paranormal slant with Darcy possibly being a vampire, I was both wary and intrigued. I will also admit Im not big on present day authors taking such novels from deceased authors and writing a sequel.With that in mind, I decided to read Mr. Darcy, Vampyre and see what type of job Amanda has done with two of the most beloved literary couples of all time.

Inquiring readers: The following is the third of three reviews I placed on my blog. In this instance, one is enough. I probably should have simply stayed with this one. Here, then, is Mrs. Darcy's letter to her sister Jane about her strange marriage to Mr. Darcy:My dearest Jane,Well, what a crock, as they say in 21st century America! Ive had to delve a full 250 pages into Mr. Darcy Vampyre to find out what was going to happen to us. And then the plot was so rushed and jumbled that I never did
An good read. Well written. Not how I expected the book to end, but I did enjoy it
Reading this was a mistake.
Overall I enjoyed this book. I would not recommend it to someone looking for a "classic"story as it is not that. The story is best taken as a vampire novel not as a spin off of 'pride and prejudice'.It's a good 'light hearted ' vampire novel, nothing gory or terrifying an easy book to read. I would give it 3.5 stars.
