Review: First-rate Austen paranormal
Rating: 5 out of 5

I started this book with much trepidation despite its having been so well reviewed, but for once this Austen re-versioning deserved the praise.  Very well written with the style, humor, and occasional snark of the original, the book seamlessly turns Pride and Prejudice into a parallel world where some humans are also were-creatures, and sentenced to immediate death if discovered by the authorities.As un-Jane-like as the concept sounds, it is developed flawlessly and works wonderfully.  Part of the fun is the amazing aptness of the various were-creatures for their characters; the only one who may have been slightly overdone was not revealed until almost the end of the novel, which perhaps was strengthened by his unexpected single were-appearance and his decisiveness then and later.This is one of the relatively few recent novels that I've saved for re-enjoying.
