This is a collection of paranormal stories based loosely on four of Jane Austen's best-known works. My favorite was "Almost Persuaded" by Mary Balogh, who used Austen's "Persuasion" to compose a sweet and emotional love story with reincarnation as its theme. Balogh is one of my favorite authors, and she is perfect in her first attempt at writing paranormal romance. The other stories were fairly interesting, particularly "Blood and Prejudice" in which Mr. Darcy and Lizzie Bennett meet up with vampires in modern-day New York, but could not compare to Balogh's. The other two authors used "Northanger Abbey" and "Emma" as their bases. I would recommend this book to anyone who is familiar with these classic Jane Austen tales and would enjoy a little paranormal twist to them. 337 pages.
