Jane Vows Vengeance

Do you love Jane Austen?  How about vampires?  If so, try reading the third installment in the "Jane Austen Vampire Series" written by Michael Thomas Ford.  The newest book, Jane Vows Vengeance is a great story whose main action takes place in Europe.  In the series, author Jane Austen is a vampire who owns a book store in sleepy, upstate New York.  Jane is a struggling author (the irony is that her books sell well at her book store) who is engaged to her fiance', Walter---who has no clue she is a vampire.  She and Walter are trying to plan their wedding but things keep happening that interrupt the ceremony.  Walter and Jane finally decided to visit Europe on a tour of architectural wonders, inviting their friends Lucy and Ben and Walter's witchy mom along to particpate in a wedding ceremony in London.  From an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery to a wedding interrupted by the ghosts of the Princes in the Tower to a shocking revelation about Walter's mom, this book is pure mayhem.  Jane is also on a search for Crispin's needle---a legendary device supposed to restore a vampire's human soul.  If she finds Crispin's needle, will she use it to restore her own humanity and live happily ever after with Walter? This series is entertaining and Ford's characterization of Jane Austen is delightfully refreshing.  I look forward to reading more books in this series!  For more information on the books, check out the web at www.janesbitesback.com.
