Bespelling Jane Austen by Mary Balogh, Colleen Gleason, Susan Krinard, Janet Mullany (Terra's Revew)

But even if the whole world was against them, it would not matter. They were together—again. And this time they would remain together. Until death do them part and, of course, long after that.
What if Austen had believed in reincarnation and vampires? Join four bestselling romance authors as they channel the wit and wisdom of Jane Austen.

Almost Persuaded

In this Regency tale of Robert and Jane, New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh brings together former lovers who have seen beyond the veil of forgetfulness to their past mistakes, and are determined to be together in this life, and forever.

Northanger Castle

Caroline's obsession with Gothic novels winds up being good training for a lifetime of destroying the undead with her newfound beau, in this Regency by Colleen Gleason.

Blood and Prejudice

Set in the business world of contemporary New York City, Liz Bennett joins Mr. Darcy in his hunt for a vampire cure in New York Times bestselling author Susan Krinard's version of the classic story.

Little to Hex Her

Present-day Washington, D.C., is full of curious creatures in Janet Mullany's story, wherein Emma is a witch with a wizard boyfriend and a paranormal dating service to run.

(Terra's Thoughts) This was a lovely read for spoofs of Jane Austen stories. Each one was written wonderfully so as not to miss the flavor of Miss Austen but each had a paranormal flare that was quite believable.

I'm sure if the ladies of Miss Austen's time were to read these they would surely cave in to vapor's and believe each and every word as if it were the God's honest truth. I really can't pick a favorite out of them as I really did enjoy all of the stories but I do have to say of all the spoofs I read in the last several months, this would be my ultimate favorite book.

The stories are short and sweet, done with flair and style and will most certainly enchant you if you are a fan of Jane Austen. Light on the sex, heavy on romance with a splattering of the other worldlyness sprinkled on for just a little more sweetness. This is a perfect gift for one you love or care about.
