Well to be fair , a book featuring the classic character of Mr Darcy turning out to be a vampire was never going to wholly credible now was it? That said, however bizarre a storyline is, I do still need to "believe" in it while reading.For me just didn't work, & for the second two-thirds of the book - if not more- I was aware in parts I was scanning rather than reading more & more often. I was expecting that Elizabeth would make this scandalous discovery about Darcy on their weddingInquiring 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
Do not read this book. By the end, your eyes will bleed and your brain will melt. It is a carbon copy of Twilight up until the end, where it just becomes stupidly weird. Lizzie is an idiot, and Darcy is Edward to a tee. Again, avoid at all costs.
This book has the most audacious title I have seen in years. In just two words, it conveys everything a reader may expect within. No mystery here: before even turning a page we know that this will be the most shameless attempt to cash in on the successes of Pride and Prejudice and Twilight yet. Yes! Let us dive into the depths of our id! Let us wallow in our love of costume dramas and supernatural romance! Let us splash around in the shallowest end of the literary pool!Alas. This book is not so
TYPE OF AUSTENESQUE NOVEL: Pride and Prejudice Sequel, ParanormalTIME FRAME: Begins the morning of Elizabeth and Darcys wedding in October 1802MAIN CHARACTERS: Elizabeth Darcy and Mr. DarcyWHY I WANTED TO READ THIS NOVEL:- Im much more into vampires and paranormal novels than I was in 2009 when this novel came out (never read any vampire novels until Dracula, My Love by Syrie James)- It is the only Austenesque novel by Amanda Grange I havent read.- It is October! Im in the mood for something
If you are going to write a book about Mr Darcy being a vampire, then you need to make sure it's as fun and trashy as people expect it to be. While I did end up liking this book, the second half was much faster than the first half, this was a book which took its premise really seriously when the premise was not serious at all. At least if you're going to do something like this, make it like P&P&Zombies film where it was obvious they were having complete trashy fun with it. The first half
wow...nothing at all really happens in this book. Oh, pg. 235, they finally start to talk about all the 'off' things that happened before. But still, nothing much happens. Ok, wait, yeah, there is this really exciting part where Elizabeth is about to be kidnapped by this evil Ancient One...Oh wait, that was only about 3 pages long. Hold on (flipping pages towards the end...)Oh yeah, then there's this part where Darcy is about to FINALLY do what he was meant to do then....he stops. Then they
