Review: Jane and the Damned - Janet Mullany

Are you a fan of Jane Austen ? Do you love Vampire stories ? 
Review: Jane and the Damned - Book #1 Immortal Jane series - Janet Mullany-September 2010
Ever wondered what life would be like if your favourite authors were in fact Vampires ? It seems that our lovely Jane Austen has been turned into one of the Damned. While out one night at a function with her sisters, Miss Austen still reeling from the heartbreak of Tom Lefroy meets a handsome gentleman or so she thinks - the mysterious Mr. Smith . After a night of partying, Jane wakes up feeling well mysterious herself and we discover that Mr.Smith was in fact a Vampire and has turned our favourite author Jane Austen into one of them. 
As we all know that Jane is in fact a Vicar's daughter and it seems like Miss Elizabeth Bennett was her father's daughter as was Jane and we can read that Jane's older sister Cassandra seems alot like Elizabeth's older sister Jane Bennett. Instead of casting her out into the wilds, Jane and her father travel to Bath as it is said that the waters in Bath can cure one from the disease of the Damned. It is at the waters though, that Jane meets Vampire Luke Venning and in a way falls for him and vice versa. Soon Luke takes Jane under his wings and then war strikes, unable to write any more as Jane has lost her inspiration , she turns to fighting against the French in the war.  Will Jane survive the war and learn to live as one of the Damned or will she miss the feel of pen on paper and her old life and take to the waters of Bath eventually ?
Find out in a fun novel that boasts "It's more than her wit that's biting"  by author Janet Mullany and stay tuned for Book #2 Blood Persuasion , which I'm guessing is based on Jane's novel "Persuasion".

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
