Mr. Darcy, Vampyre (the sexier way to spell vampire)

Recently I read Mr. Darcy, Vampyre by Amanda Grange.  I don't think I'll be spoiling anything for you since the title kind of gives it away, but in this sequel to Pride and Prejudice my beloved Darcy (yes, he is mine) is a vampyre.  Of course he's Cullen type vamp- the kinder, gentler version of Nosferatu.  The book opens up with the wedding day of Elizabeth and Darcy, and Jane and Bingley (I love double weddings!) and instead of taking Lizzie on their planned honeymoon, Darcy instead takes her on a surprise trip to other parts of Europe, starting with a boat ride to France and ending up in the Italian countryside.  Sadly there isn't lots of honeymoon sex, which is even more upsetting to Lizzie and goes unexplained by Darcy, who continues to hide his true nature.  Our smart Lizzie is a bit slow to catch the clue train in this story, but you can't fault her too much, Darcy can go outdoors in the sunlight without sparkling which is the number one way to spot a vampire on cloud free days. While she doesn't seem bothered by all the many things that Darcy appears to have accomplished in his lifetime, the woman is very concerned why her new hubby's not visiting her bed chambers.  What will Lizzie do when she finds out her beloved Darcy is a vampyre?  Well, if this was Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, she'd probably stake him thru the heart.  Lucky for us, this is a much different story.  I really enjoyed the writing style, aside from the hearts and flowers type ending of this book.

Mr. Darcy, Vampyre gets a Midnight Book Rating of 11pm, it wasn't without flaws, but it kept me turning the pages.  Because if there's one thing I love more than zombies, more even than Darcy, than it's vampires.
