Unputdownable!
Thrilling, passionate and intensely captivating book.
I have never liked a vampire story before but this one, I absolutely loved. Probably because Darcy is a dhampire here which means he is "only" half vampire (half human) which in essentials means, he is not dead. That made the difference in my case.
The love story between ODC was a passionate one (nothing explicit) but the connection between them from early on was the highlight of the book.
Enters with the debacle in Ramsgate but the story differs from canon.
At the assembly in Meryton, the insult was made but with a twist.
At Netherfield, a chance encounter in the library, late at night, changed the interaction between ODC.
A friendship was built simultaneously with the rising attraction. When Wickham entered the scene, Elizabeth did not believe him. He did however manage to get the information he sought from her.
A battle between good and bad ensued, that moved to London, Pemberley and beyond with casualties along the way. A compromise, before they left Meryton, made it necessary for ODC to marry but will they learn to love each other and will Darcy manage his goal of being the last Darcy with this infliction...
Heartily recommend this book!
