Received for review from Quirk
What I Loved: This was a fun, quirky end to the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies series. My favorite character by far was Kitty. She was spunky, fun and very dangerous when pushed. Though this was a story about Elizabeth saving Darcy, I felt it was more about Kitty and Mary coming into their own. Finally showing who they were and what they stood for. It was about time the two youngest sisters got in on the action and had stories of their own!

Thanks to Quirk books again for sending me this amongst other books! *smiles* .As I came to realise, Quirk books have a knack for taking traditional classics and adding a humorous twist to the tale to spice things up – and this book is no different. Taking the classic story of Elizabeth and Darcy and their married life, Steve Hockensmith creates a tale that involves zombies, love, bravery and hope.

It was four years ago that Lizzy married Mr. Darcy. It was four years ago that Lizzy put down her katana to replace it with a wedding ring. It wasn't proper for married women to show their skills in the deadly arts. On occasion, Mr. Darcy would humor Elizabeth with private skirmishes against unmentionables because he knew she enjoyed them so much. Everything was going well until that fateful day when Mr. Darcy was attacked and bitten by an unmentionable.

Disgrace is not the lowest point to which one can sink. Death, or rather undeath, is somewhat less acceptable. Nevertheless, whenever possible, one should avoid succumbing to either.
In 2010, Hockensmith continued the storyline from Seth Grahame-Smith’s popular mashup of Jane Austen’s classic, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, with the release of a prequel, Dawn of the Dreadfuls. Dreadfully Ever After completes the P & P & Z trilogy.

Sigh, and so this is the final book in the Pride, Prejudice and Zombies series. We have followed Elizabeth and Darcy through their battles with the Dead , finally a marriage and now can they survive being torn apart by the dreadful and undead life ever after? This is written in the wonderful style of Jane Austen and Steve Hockensmith does an admirable job of capturing the voice and keeping it true to the era.

The third instalment of the Quirk Classics’ Pride and Prejudice series, Dreadfully Ever After is set a number of years after events of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and follows our main protagonist Elizabeth in the wake of her marriage to Mr Darcy. Fans of the series will be pleased to know this lively sequel sees a return of all the old favourites, including nearly all of the Bennet sisters, as well as a number of familiar faces who make a surprise return towards the end.

To be honest, I've long struggled with the mash-up. I've liked a few, but I've also felt like they were hard to read because I was constantly comparing to the original and was unable to really get into the book at hand. So I was very excited to read Dreadfully Ever After because I knew that there would be no reference point for me to look back to. This book would be all it's own, taking characters I love and transporting them somewhere new. I was excited and nervous, and really hoping it would w

Once again Kellgren guides us through Regency England with a flare only an English accent can give. The Bennet sisters came to life through her lively narration, and I was especially impressed with her wider range of male voices this time around. Perhaps it was because there was ultimately a smaller number of them, but I was pleased to be able to easily identify each speaker after only a few syllables.

found it a little difficult to review these books individually, so I have decided to do it as a whole. This review will be short, as I am stepped WAY out of my comfort reading zone by agreeing to review these books for Quirk Books. I've been told by friends that have read this series that you need to have read the orginal Pride and Prejudice before attempting these. I have not. Nor do I have any desire to. I don't like zombie books and I haven't found a classic book that I have liked yet

*EPIC* Thats the only word I can use to describe it. I really liked how they kinda chose to focus on Mary and Kitty and Anne instead of just limiting the story to Darcy and Elizabeth because it made it a lot more interesting. Don't get me wrong, I would love to read a book where it's just Darcy going "Blood sausages, raw meat, yuuuummmmmm!" (Not really) but I'm glad they expanded the characters they used. The only thing that left me dissapointed was the ending. I wanted it to focus on

The beginning of Dreadfully Ever After picks up the story of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy four years after the original mash-up ends. The zombies (or as they’re referred to in polite Regency society: the dreadfuls, the unmentionables, the sorry stricken, or the zed words) are still terrorizing the country, but finding herself now the wife of a respectable gentleman, Elizabeth has hung up her katana and throwing stars to lead a life of quiet wedded bliss. It would seem, however, that our favorite kung

When we last left Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy, they were strolling off to lead a life of happy matrimony spent being in love and slaying dreadfuls together—except for the slaying dreadful together part. Proper, married Victorian women just don’t do that sort of thing, a fact Lizzy detests. However, when Darcy is bitten by a zombie child, Lizzy forgoes propriety and is willing to do anything to save his life—which entails abiding by his cruel, cunning aunt Lady Catherine’s plan to seek

I never did like Fitzwilliam Darcy and I like him even less now he's been cured of a zombie bite – whoops, given it all away there . . . ah well, never mind. So here's the deal (I think), someone had the great idea of adding zombies to Jane Austin's saga of new romantics and thus we had Pride and Prejudice and zombies. Which was all well and good and at least gave Fitzwilliam something useful to do other than be aloof. But wait, then came the sequel 'Dawn of the Dreadfuls' (just to keep zombies
