Helpful Score: 12
Reeeaaallly bad. Absolutely the thinnest, flimsiest plot imaginable. None of Austen's charm or wit, none of the mystery or romance of a half-way decent vampire story. The plot consists mainly of Darcy hauling Elizabeth around Europe meeting 'mysterious' friends and family, her being slightly uneasy but ultimately clueless. Darcy's one of those tortured, self-loathing vampires, who married Elizabeth but can't bear to inflict his curse upon her. After he saves her in the end from some even worse baddies they find a miracle cure and he gets to be human again, yippee! Elizabeth doesn't figure out what's going on with him until second-to-last chapter, whereupon her reaction (and the reader's)isn't so much acceptance as stupor, since at this point nothing makes any sense at all.
