So, I just loved Jane by April Lindner. I thought it was a fantastic modern day version of Jane Eyre. And now the author has moved on to a different Bronte! And I am so excited for this. I like the idea of the two different time periods! I like that rock is incorporated into this one like it was in her other novel as well. The connections this one has to its classic counterpart seem a little more vague, and I’m excited to see how all the everything will play out! I don’t think the cover is as pretty as the last one, but I do feel like it kind of goes well with the last one. I can’t wait to read this! Bring on the Brontes!
A forbidden romance AND a modern mystery :) yay!

I love a romance/mystery combo. One of my favorite genres.

This one sounds so good! I haven't read April's other novel but I really want to. :)
ReplyDeleteI wasn't blown away by Jane, but overall, it was a nice book. So I'm going to give this one a shot too. Great pick ^^
ReplyDeleteCome take a look at my Wow :)
Yes! I super want this one, too :)
ReplyDeleteI IS WANT. I've heard meh things about this author from people (I STILL haven't read my ARC of Jane from 2010), but her stuff sounds so up my alley. I just must have!
