My Plain Jane (Lady Janies, #2)

by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows

Move over, Charlotte Brontë. The authors of the New York Times bestselling My Lady Jane are back with an irreverent spin on Jane Eyre—a tale of mischief, romance, and supernatural mayhem perfect for fans of The Princess Bride or A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue.

You may think you know the story. Penniless orphan Jane Eyre begins a new life as a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she meets one dark, brooding Mr. Rochester—and, Reader, she marries him. Or does she?

Prepare for an adventure of Gothic proportions, in which all is not as it seems, a certain gentleman is hiding more than skeletons in his closets, and one orphan Jane Eyre, aspiring author Charlotte Bronte, and supernatural investigator Alexander Blackwood are about to be drawn together on the most epic ghost hunt this side of Wuthering Heights.

I thought this was a lot of fun. Silly? Yes, but still tons of fun.

Things I loved:
• The time period was one, which never fails to delight me, with all its prim and proper ways.
• I utterly adored Charlotte and Alexander. Those two really won me over.
• Really dug the whole Ghostbusters thing they had going on
• I had the MOST fun finding all these fun little nuggets, that were buried in the book.

Once again, I have not read the source material, but I think we all know enough about Jane Eyre to recognize the important bits.

Overall: Another fun and fanciful romp with the Janies.
