What Truth Reveals: A Pride & Prejudice Variation
TWO KIDNAPPINGS. A POOR FIRST IMPRESSION. HIDDEN LIES.
When Colonel Fitzwilliam is kidnapped in London, then Mary Bennet in Meryton not long after, there could be no connection. Yet, when Elizabeth Bennet receives a ransom note which expects Mr. Darcy to help pay the price for her sister’s freedom, nothing is as it seems. Not the two kidnappings, not the man she despised, and most certainly not her heart.
Can Elizabeth and Darcy work together to bring their relations home?
Can the Colonel and Mary escape their captors before it is too late?
And can love be found in the midst of danger, intrigue, and deception?

What Truth Reveals is an adventurous variation of P&P that kept me glued to the page from beginning to end. This variation gives protagonism not only to Darcy and Elizabeth, but also to Colonel Fitzwilliam and Mary, which I loved!
The plot is unusual but it works, with Mary's and the Colonel's points of view being the ones that interested me the most. Darcy and Elizabeth are early on on their acquaintance and misunderstand each other as expected but they soon reconcile as they need to work together to find out who is behind the kidnappings.
I felt that the initial interactions between Darcy and Elizabeth left a little to be desired compared to their conversations in Pride and Prejudice, but the relationship between the Colonel and Mary was well developed. The idea of Mary hiding her true personality and conforming to what she believed her family wanted was plausible, and the speed with which Richard and Mary fell in love is not uncommon when two people meet in dangerous circumstances. Charlotte’s wisdom in seeing what Elizabeth could not was chef kiss; the friends Darcy contacts for help were a welcome addition, and later, when the Colonel finally joins the group, I couldn't help but be reminded of the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel. I guess Aldry, Peters and Lightcliffe learned a few things from Sir Percy Blakeney.
What Truth Reveals is an imaginative take on Pride and Prejudice, full of action, intrigue, and romance. It completely captivated me.

P &P with mystery and action
Very much enjoyed a strong Colonel and Mary. ODC's role in the story was still strong, but lots of supporting character's changes the dynamic. Fast read with lots of action.

Katelyn Rae truly outdid herself this time! What Truth Reveals, was a book that was extremely hard to put down. From the first page to the last, I found myself wondering how could anyone carry out such a devious scheme? This book is more than a "who dun it" tale--it's a book of suspense and romance in the midst of danger and intrigue. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did...

Quite an adventure story
A great Colonel and Mary combine forces to escape kidnappers in Scotland while a pleasant Darcy convinces Elizabeth that he is a good person, assisted by three non-canon gentlemen. Secrets abound, romance blooms, villains chase good people, and happily ever after wins out. Nicely written, with good suspense.

Action packed angst
An action packed and full of angst mystery inspired by Jane Austen’s classic novel Pride and Prejudice by Katelyn Rae. I enjoyed it.

A delightful and well-written story.

Not the usual suspects
This P&P variation is original and unexpected. There’s action, mystery, angst, and romance enough to make it difficult to put down once you start.
