Synopsis

Is Jane Austen the newest member of the Vampire Book Club?What more could a diehard fan ask for? Except that Jane is undead and unamused…
To bookshop owner and witch Quinn Callahan’s delight, Jane Austen shows up for the late-night Vampire Book Club in Ballydehag, Ireland. Quinn’s thrilled and aching to ask her favorite author all the questions every rabid reader has about Jane's books, especially Pride and Prejudice. But Jane isn't in Ballydehag on a social call. She’s on a mission to stop the latest movie version of her most famous book from being made. Having Pride and Prejudice turned into a pornographic film is too much for the undead author to bear.
Dermott Lynch ditched Ballydehag seventeen years ago for the bright lights of Hollywood, leaving behind at least one broken heart and some very bad feelings. Now, he’s back, flashy and full of himself, wowing the townsfolk, and scouting locations for his movie, though it's obvious he’s never read a single page of Pride and Prejudice.
While excitement ripples through the locals at the prospect of having a movie shot in a village that doesn’t see much excitement (in daylight, anyway), the vampires living at Devil’s Keep are far from impressed. They prefer to keep Ballydehag quiet and remote. And Dermott Lynch could ruin it all.
Quinn, Jane, Lochlan Balfour, and his fellow vampires are determined to block this unsavory character from besmirching the classic novel. But as dark feelings grow, rather than a porno, the movie could end up being a murder mystery.

Goodreads review by Linniegayl on October 26, 2023

Not a bad entry in the series, just not my favorite. Once again Quinn, a witch sent to a small town in Ireland for bad witch behavior, ends up investigating a murder in the small town. While she runs a local bookshop (owned by another witch who has been sent away for bad behavior), almost no action......more

Goodreads review by Rhonda on November 08, 2023

I love this series and Nancy Warren's other books, but this one just did not connect with me. First, Quinn felt these evil forebodings. But nothing bad happened to those in her inner circle, so that seemed pointless. Then we have Jane Austen as a vampire. Seriously? And she's not even pleasant. And do......more

Goodreads review by Beth on May 07, 2024

Ok…..definitely not the best - but won’t stop me reading her books by this one felt very rushed. I had this one finished in less than two hours. No mystery at all who did the murder - which doesn’t even occur until 145 pages in, but I could tell you who was going to die, who did it, what the murder......more

Goodreads review by Micky on April 26, 2024

Quinn has a premonition of something bad about to happen. Then strangers appear in town that seem to have ill intent or do they? Could locals have something to do with the bad events about to happen? Quinn and the vampires are on alert, but since they don't know what to look for it makes it difficul......more

Knife The Book Club stories are not as full and exciting as Ms Warren's Vampire Knitting Club series. I won't be reading any more of these. Pity.......more
