Pulse and Prejudice (The Confession of Mr. Darcy, Vampire #1)

As a long-term lover of the classics, Pride & Prejudice in particular, I wondered what I would get with this book. Would I love it or loathe it? Would it stay true to the original or go completely farcical?

What I got was a book that thrilled me with the story just as much as the original did. The language is true to form, the behaviour, the attitudes, it's all there. Only now add in the spice of an even more haughty and sultry Mr Darcy as he tries to contend with his vampiric nature.

Trust me when I say that this paranormal addition actually added something for me, it certainly didn't take anything away from the story. I devoured this book, only putting it down when I absolutely had to. If you like Paranormal and also the British Classics, then I really can't recommend this highly enough. It combines the two with excellent narrative, skill and aplomb. Highly Recommended.

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book; the comments here are my honest opinion. *

Faithless ( The Privileged of Pembroke High book 3)
By Ivy Fox
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶🌶🌶🌶

They’ve messed with the wrong girl.

I gave away my heart only to have it broken.

I relinquished my soul, and it was mercilessly ripped to shreds.

All that is left is my faith that somehow I’ll be able to make things right.

I’ll fight tooth and nail to restore our love and bring us back our freedom.

I’ll make sure every secret is revealed. Every hidden lie uncovered.

I won’t allow the tyranny and manipulation over our lives to continue.

The madness ends here.

I just pray it’s not too late to save us all.


Well that was fun. I found it so funny watching that woman Vivianne get what was coming to her it’s been a long time coming. Really enjoyed this book there were a few moments that got a bit repetitive but only a few little bits. It was full of Little twists too. I’m looking forward to reading Elles story now that we have finished Snows story.

This is one of those books that hits you and stays with you for a long time and although it is a work of fiction, the author has clearly done her research and there is a lot of this book that is based on fact.

As you can imagine, this is a hard book to read; it's a story filled with despair, death and unimaginable suffering but it's also a story filled with hope, the power of friendship and love.

Ana and Ester are the two main characters and oh what characters they are; strong and with a will to continue to do good whilst all around them descends into chaos and madness.

This book had my emotions in a constant state of flux; angry, sad, tearful, horrified but also hopeful and in awe and wonder of the people who went through such despicable crimes but continued to keep their humanity unlike the Nazis!

Like I said, this is a difficult read but, I think, an essential one and I must thank Bookouture and NetGalley for enabling me to read it and share my thoughts.

I have always loved Dean Koontz because of the way he immerses you in the situations in his book. Its not many authors that make you feel as if you are actually in the book not just reading it. Loved this book because whilst it is a work of fiction there are a lot of instances that ring true, particularly the way we are giving AI too much power and information. At first glance this is just your run of the mill horror house novel, but once you get into it, its so much more. Great character and development and i love the way that he does not concentrate on just one persons story. There are lots of different characters ranging from a small girl with autism to a contract killer and its blended in well to create an atmospheric, horrific and frightening novel. Its split into two books and i must admit that when i was about half way through i thought it was drawing to a close, how wrong i was. Well worth a read A++++
