This is a great update, turns a classic into a paranormal romance in the modern era. This didn’t need to copy classic, it just gave away ending.
Great retelling of Pride and prejudice the story was a good as the original with changes great story characters . i loved this story.
This was an ok read for me. There were parts I enjoyed, some cute moments between Izzy and Fitz. However I thought the paranormal elements were a little generic and random and you know exactly where the story is going as it hits all the same plot points as the original story. I love retellings but this just seemed a little to on the nose for me.
The title drew me at first sight. Learning it was a spin on Pride and Prejudice with a paranormal twist was right up my alley and it did not disappoint.
I absolutely love the way the author writes the characters. The love and hate towards Fitz was done well and you cheered the heroine (Izzy) on when she managed her digs (one-liners and snark) and cried when she got in her own way (poor Izzy!) to find love. I only mention a few times I fell out of the story with some of the dialogue. There were times I swore it felt almost like American characters and other times British. A few times I confused myself as to the setting only to realize again, yes, it was still in the states. (I'm fine with either British or American, but some of the slang bounced a bit.) I do know the author was born in the UK and lives in the US now so that's what I chocked it up to and honestly, it's really not that big of a deal once you get used to it happening. Overall, I loved the story and characters (except a few I won't mention due to spoilers) and hope that this might be a series for the author although the story can be well rounded standalone.
I would definitely read more from this author!
