Book Description

When the haughty and wealthy Fitzwilliam Darcy arrives in the rural county of Hertfordshire, he finds he cannot control his attraction to Elizabeth Bennet – a horrifying thought because, as she is too far below his social standing to ignite his heart, he fears she must appeal to the dark impulses he struggles to suppress.

Set against the vivid backdrop of historical Regency England, this adaptation of Pride and Prejudice follows the cursed Mr. Darcy as he endeavours to overcome both his love and his bloodlust for Miss Elizabeth Bennet. Although Pulse and Prejudice adheres to the original plot and style of the Jane Austen classic, it is not a “mash-up” but an imaginative, thrilling variation told primarily from Darcy’s point of view as he descends into the seedier side of London and introduces Elizabeth to a world of passion and the paranormal she never knew existed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Darcy makes the perfect vampire hero September 25, 2012
Format:Paperback
I have been an ardent fan of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (Norton Critical Editions) since I was a young teen and have read most of the reimagined tales based on Elizabeth and Darcy, the two main characters in Pride and Prejudice. I am not an Austen purist so I tend to enjoy film adaptations like Lost in Austen and also creative takes on the story such as the recent Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Deluxe Heirloom Edition (Quirk Classics). I was predictably excited to read Pulse and Prejudice which imagines Mr. Darcy as a vampire!

Author Colette Saucier has put a fun, thrilling twist to Mr. Darcy in this engaging adaptation. She has obviously done her research and the Regency world inhabited by Elizabeth and Darcy comes vibrantly alive. I admit I love supernatural reads, and seeing Mr. Darcy portrayed as a vampire wasn't shocking at all, in fact it was thrilling to see one of my favorite literary characters reimagined as a supernatural creature, and convincingly at that! Also, a nice twist in the reconceptualizing of Mr. Wickham here:-) He's still a villain, but let's just say he's also something much more. I could absolutely believe why Darcy and Wickham loathe each other so much with the twist the author places in the narrative.

The language of Austen is very much alive in here, but I enjoyed this though it seemed a little too reminiscent of the source work. However, the author does also include her own impressions and fills in some 'gaps' in the source work which work to this novel's advantage since these impressions credibly portray Darcy's vampire side.

This is recommended for those who enjoy reading reworkings of Austen's works with a supernatural bent, and definitely not for Austen purists!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very well-written! May 17, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
For anyone who might be thinking, "Pride and Prejudice with vampires?? WTF??" Can I just say, I was blown away with how good this is. I was prepared for it to be awful and was dreading the thought of wading through a mangled adaptation of my beloved Austen. BUT it is really really good. Colette tells it mainly from Darcy's tortured POV and so many things make so much more sense when it's revealed some of the characters are vampires, it makes you think "Oh, so THAT's why such and such a person did that!" We get a lot of back story and Colette ties everything together so well. I was truly impressed, and it takes a lot to impress me. If you like P&P, you'll like this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Adaptation! Great first book. May 22, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I've never written a review before.....and I'm not into Vampires but I really enjoyed this book. It makes me want to go read Pride and Prejudice all over again. This is an intriguing adaptation of the original story. The Vampirism spin on this 19th century classic novel seems so fitting and really gives you insight into that dark world. It was so interesting that it was written from Mr. Darcy's tortured struggle to be both a man and vampire. I loved the way Colette was able to preserve the integrity of the love affair between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy and she leaves you wanting more. I can't wait for the sequel.
