Two hundred years after her death, Jane Austen is still surrounded by the literature she loves—but now it's because she's the owner of Flyleaf Books in a sleepy college town in Upstate New York. Every day she watches her novels fly off the shelves—along with dozens of unauthorized sequels, spin-offs, and adaptations. Jane may be undead, but her books have taken on a life of their own.
To make matters worse, the manuscript she finished just before being turned into a vampire has been rejected by publishers—116 times. Jane longs to let the world know who she is, but when a sudden twist of fate thrusts her back into the spotlight, she must hide her real identity—and fend off a dark man from her past while juggling two modern suitors. Will the inimitable Jane Austen be able to keep her cool in this comedy of manners, or will she show everyone what a woman with a sharp wit and an even sharper set of fangs can do?MY REVIEW
I really liked this book, it was a fun,fast, and easy read. What if Jane Austen never died and is still around today as a vampire?It's exactly how I imagine Jane Austen would be if she were alive today. Anyone who loves a good vampire book will really like this one. Jane Fairfax aka Jane Austen is living in Brakeston, New York and owns her very own bookstore. She has finally got an offer to have her book Constance published after many rejections. Things seem to be going great until one day she the man who turned her into a vampire(Lord Byron) has come back and won't quit pestering her. She quickly falls for the nice guy in her town(Walter) and can't seem to tell him what she is and who she is.Things get worse when Charlotte Bronte tries to blackmail her by telling everyone she plagiarezed Constance. I'm already looking forward to reading Jane Goes Batty to see what happens next.
