Is Jane Austen the newest member of the Vampire Book Club?

What more could a diehard fan ask for? Except that Jane is undead and unamused…To bookshop owner and witch Quinn Callahan’s delight, Jane Austen shows up for the late-night Vampire Book Club in Ballydehag, Ireland.

Quinn’s thrilled and aching to ask her favorite author all the questions every rabid reader has about Jane's books, especially Pride and Prejudice. But Jane isn't in Ballydehag on a social call. She’s on a mission to stop the latest movie version of her most famous book from being made. Having Pride and Prejudice turned into a pornographic film is too much for the undead author to bear.

Dermott Lynch ditched Ballydehag seventeen years ago for the bright lights of Hollywood, leaving behind at least one broken heart and some very bad feelings. Now, he’s back, flashy and full of himself, wowing the townsfolk, and scouting locations for his movie, though it's obvious he’s never read a single page of Pride and Prejudice.

While excitement ripples through the locals at the prospect of having a movie shot in a village that doesn’t see much excitement (in daylight, anyway), the vampires living at Devil’s Keep are far from impressed. They prefer to keep Ballydehag quiet and remote. And Dermott Lynch could ruin it all.

Quinn, Jane, Lochlan Balfour, and his fellow vampires are determined to block this unsavory character from besmirching the classic novel. But as dark feelings grow, rather than a porno, the movie could end up being a murder mystery. In Want of a Knife is book 5 in the Vampire Book Club series, which promises quirky characters, humor, and a touch of romance, but no swearing, blood, or gore. Each book can be listened to on its own.

It was a very poor plot for a story not the best at all and they’re getting shorter definitely not worth a credit. I think this is probably the last Nancy warren book I’ll buy

Not as good as her other books in this series. Predictable and not enough about the vampires. Would not recommend.

Very poor.

As a stand alone story it would be a nice easy read. However as it follows on from the last book, it makes no sense. The plot of the last book has been completely ignored and because of that the stories don't match up at all.

Major errors from the previous book.
