The Vampires of Derbyshire: A Pride & Prejudice Gothic Variation by April Floyd & Cass Grix ★★★★☆

A very enjoyable gothic Pride and Prejudice variation, in which Elizabeth Bennet’s father and uncle are a team of vampire hunters, who staked Mr Darcy Senior.

In the first part of the book, Fitzwilliam Darcy is haughty and distant, partly because be hates the name Bennet and partly to disguise his attraction to Elizabeth and the call of her blood.

When Mr Wickham (also a vampire) turns up; terror and death follow in his wake.

I liked the connection between Darcy and Elizabeth in the second part of the book. The ability to feel each other’s emotions, removes those pesky misunderstandings!

A nice mixture of blood, sex, violence and love. Well worth a read.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. All views expressed are my own.
