LATEST RELEASE

When the Netherfield party arrives to take up residence in the long-empty Netherfield Hall, rumors swirl that the estate is haunted. Skeptical Elizabeth Bennet laughs off the ghost stories, until a series of eerie events forces her and the aloof Mr. Darcy to confront the possibility of restless spirits stalking the halls.

As bizarre occurrences plague the old house, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are drawn together in the search for answers. Battling fears and prejudices, they forge an unlikely alliance that blossoms into mutual understanding and possibly something more. But not everyone is happy to welcome this connection.

Can Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy overcome the mysterious workings of Netherfield before their hopes for happiness are extinguished? Set during the Christmas season, Halloween JAFF puts a spooky twist on Austen’s beloved Pride and Prejudice characters in this suspenseful tale of ghostly happenings, romance, and the power of courage and love conquering all.

But as the world is thrown into chaos with the arrival of alien invaders, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy must put aside their differences and work together to save their families and the world.
In this reimagined version of Pride and Prejudice, the feathered inhabitants of the wealthy estates are not only limited to humans but also include a cast of mischievous parrots. Parrots, considered a status symbol in the Regency Era, are colorful characters known for their impeccable mimicry of human voices, often leading to uproarious situations and causing unforeseen misunderstandings.
Elizabeth Bennet overhears Mr. Darcy say she isn't handsome enough to temp him. She sets out to prove him wrong.

This is a rare treat indeed, a newly published Pride and Prejudice sequel. As that is my absolute favourite trope, I am smiling like the Cheshire cat... Entering at the Darcy/Bingley wedding. Elizabeth was reflecting on a couple of rather disturbing occurrences that had happened before their courtship and it set the tone of what was to come. The wedding night was a high-light, it is a chaste read and I will try not to give too much away so I will only mention that awkwardness and embarrassment had me laughing out loud. It was done with charming sweetness though. Darcy was a bit stiff in this story and I loved how Elizabeth worked on his tactile sense to loosen him up. Elizabeth's honesty was another trait I adored. After a few days in London, shopping and going to the Opera, ODC ventured to Pemberley with Georgiana and Mrs Annesley. The the trip was rather eventful and the honeymoon at Pemberley was a rather crowded one... The guests brought everything from joy to threats and insults but there might even be a murderer in their midst. Ends with an epilogue. A thrilling read, in a light-hearted sort of way, that had me biting my nails one minute and laughing out loud the next...
