This was the first challenge on my list for the All Vamp Challenge.But since I had already reviewed it on my other blog few months ago (it was what inspired the All Vamp Challenge) I thought I would give it some time, and take a second look at it.
I am still not thrilled with this book.
Plot: It's the wedding tour for our Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth. But just as they step foot into the coach Darcy changes their plans and takes her off to Paris. The wedding night does not happen, and Elizabeth fears Darcy regrets the marriage. As the days turn into weeks, Elizabeth is introduced to people from Darcy's past who seem to have strange habits even for people who live outside of England. In the chaos she learns her husband is not what he first seemed.
She is then seduced and abused by someone from Darcy's past.
So now I will go on to talk about a few points I did not make the first time, like the bat.
We are given one scene where Darcy resorts to the typical Dracula stereotype of being able to turn into a bat but it's ill used. The theme could have been expanded on with plot thickeners but it's just left kind of hanging as an afterthought.
I also do not understand why Jane would not have been trying to get ahold of Elizabeth by this point? The two sisters would have used everything in their power to communicate. Even though Elizabeth's communication attempts were stifled, Jane's side would have been wide open.
This book, as I stated the first time around when I read it, has so many plot holes it's as if the writer removed chunks.
Would I get a sequel if one is offered? You know I most likely would simply to see if the missing pieces were explained.
