This story is very disappointing in a lot of ways. The positive things about this book is that it is rather shocking, and the plot twist is very unexpected. Mrs. Bennet dead, Mr Bennet throwing the children away and moved on rather fast, the new aunty, who I would actually say very interesting, and also the worst part is the movement of the plot. The plot was fine up until where the aunt was dead. I feel there was so much lost potential, as in why they attacked the aunt (i know that she's an informant, but what kind of information that they were seeking etc), the secrecy with the magistrate and all. Don't waste your time reading this book.

A nice Story

This is a nice story, not a great one!

First, The author really needs to start the habit of reading out loud each chapter in order to see every continuity, spelling, and grammar mistake that is made. Many of which are so glaring as to throw a reader into confusion and away from the story.
Second, an actual romance between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth would make the marriage and happily ever after more believable.

Too much left unanswered!

Why did Aunt Phillips believed that Mr. Bennett killed Mrs. Bennet? What was going on with Mr. Bennett who totally cut his daughters when they needed him the most? Why did no one investigate this, no even the Gardiners. They did not speak about Mr. Bennett at all. Even the hooking up of Elizabeth & Darcy was sloppily done. Very lazy of author. Will avoid this author in the future. Wasted my time! Very seriously displeased!

Potential great plot wasted

The plot is interesting and would have been captivating if it had been exploited fully. Did Mr Bennet truly murder his wife? What incited Jane Bennet to behave so meanly against her sister? The death of her mother is not a good reason. Too out of character. Too many lose ends at the end of the story.
And the grammar is just horrendous.

Terrible read.

I do not like putting a book down in a review. This book was poorly written, the characters hardly seemed familiar, and the plot was weak and poorly created. It is fairly long, which makes it even more terrible. I wish someone had written a review like this one. I would have known yo pass it up.

In this Pride and Prejudice variation how quickly can the lives of the Bennet daughters change when Mrs Bennet dies and Mr Bennet doesn’t care for them (so no change there). But what are the family secrets.
An enjoyable story

Worst editing ever.

This book hard s a decent plot, but I was so distracted by the poor editing that I found myself so frustrated that I couldn't enjoy it. It's really a shame.
