All Hallow's Eve: An Austen-Inspired Romance Kindle Edition

Since ancient times, every Halloween, the ritual of Sanun is performed, freeing the dead to interact with the living for one night. One Evil Soul discovers a way to hide from the Return, remaining on Earth to meddle with the fates of the living. As the centuries pass, It begins to search for the High Priestess, intending to force her to do its bidding, no matter the cost.

Appearances can be deceiving, even in Regency England. To most, Elizabeth Bennet is simply the second daughter of an insignificant country squire, but in truth, she is High Priestess and leader of an ancient cult secretly co-existing alongside British society. Confusion reigns when she learns that the man she despises, Fitzwilliam Darcy, is her Soul Mate, assigned to protect her from Evil. Can they work together to preserve the future?

4 stars - Reviewed by Stephanie Dagg for Readers Favorite

"All Hallow's Eve" is a hugely successful paranormal take on the famous "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen.... ...Staying generally true to the language and mannerisms of the era in which it is set, Regency England, this is a fitting tribute to Jane Austen. She was known for her humor and would probably love to see how her characters have been tweaked in a fantastic direction. Entertaining and ingenious reading.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Wendi Sotis lives on Long Island, NY, with her husband and triplets. Years ago, while searching for Pride and Prejudice from Darcy’s point of view, she became thoroughly enamored with Jane Austen Fan Fiction or JAFF. In early 2010, she dreamed an idea for a story and hasn’t stopped writing since.

The Marriage Pact, and some of her works-in-progress, have branched away to Regency Romance and Contemporary Romantic Mysteries, but Wendi will also continue bringing Darcy and Lizzy together again and again in an unusual manner.

Oh my, spirits return

Oh my, the spirits return, and give messages. Only supposed to allow good ones, but.....
A bit scary, bit action, lots of friendships and !ove.
Wonderful twist to our favorite characters, and wonderful outcome.

I listened/read this story on the occasion of All Hallow's eve, and couldn't put it down. Very engrossing fantasy that kept with the canon characters' behaviour. I miss the mention of Richard and Mary in the epilogue, as well as hoping that Caroline Bingley got what she deserved. I think I might start an annual tradition of reading this tale.

I do not normally read fantastical books like this one. I got it on Halloween 2022. I have to admit it was well written, the story kept me interested and I finished the book. As far as ancient rituals and ghosts go it was believable, if that makes sense. Far more so than the P&P variation I read last year where an alien being showed up wreaking havoc in everyone's lives. Though that book was funny and fun.

This variation of Austen's Pride and Prejudice was one of the most intriguing and memorable of the hundreds of variations I've read over the last few years, and the reason is the theme of paranormal/fantasy that weaves its way into the romance of Darcy and Elizabeth. There is a very different plot here than Austen's original, and it goes back hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Elizabeth is the Druidic High Priestess and Darcy finds that the family sword over the main fireplace at Pemberley is meant for the High Priestess' protection. Thus, he is to be the Soul Mate of the High Priestess.

Each All Hallow's Eve, the High Priestess admits the spirits of those passed to eternity a visit with their descendants. But hundreds of years ago, an evil spirit managed to stay behind when the spirits are gathered to return, and its presence may wreak havoc upon earth. And it is up to the High Priestess and her Soul Mate to stop his wicked plans.

This book was nearly unputdownable. (Yeah, yeah, it's not a word, but it describes this book's compelling qualities perfectly.) Especially if one enjoys paranormal suspense, this variation of Pride and Prejudice will be a page-turner!

I rarely give "5" scores to books that are not classics, but this variation was simply outstanding. Extraordinary. I was up until 3:00 AM, trying to finish it. It's really, truly, seriously *that* good.

This is a novel well written by Wendi Sotis taking the Pride and Prejudice characters back to an early time and weaving the paranormal insight of the story. It uses the characters in a different light and makes the story very interesting. I loved the fact that I normally don't like stories of this nature but it kept me interested so that I didn't want to put the book down.
I was surprised with Aunt Catherine and how she acted as compared to her in other stories. I also was glad to see George Wickham in a better light at the end of the story and the way it ended for him. Ms. Sotis also portrayed Mrs. Bennet and Mr. Bennet in a different light compared to other stories so that you wound up liking Mrs. Bennet in the end.
These are the thoughts I felt after I read the book,1) that Julian Clement should have been offered a job at one of the family estates since he was so kind and nice to Elizabeth, however, she offered the magistrate not to charge him with anything and 2) I also thought that even if Hannah was given her bonus for helping, it would have been good to mention that she was offered a job working as Elizabeth's maid in Pemberley.

Would be much better without the compromise and forced engagement

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

Pros:
-Kudus to the author for inventing a society with feminine power to balance the lack of the same in regency society.
-The Bennets’ high placement was great too.
-Lady Catherine being put in her place.

Cons:
This would be a better book without the forced engagement and compromise, and if the Bingley women’s treatment of Elizabeth was handled similar to how Lady Catherine’s was.

Bought the book after reading on KU as the pros barely outweighed the cons.

Fantastical

If you're into P&P with some soul mates, mystical rituals (pagan) then this tale is right up your alley. Evil entities, antagonist and a team of heroes thrown in makes for a great read. Just imagine the Fitzwilliam brothers, Bingley and Darcy as an honor guard. Oh and Mr. Bennett training them. Personally, I enjoyed it.

Yes, the story had romance and intrigue, but it lacked warmth. I found it to be a little too un-likely, even for a fantasy tale. Darcy/Lizzy were sweet and loving, but it was just that the whole thing didn't fit them. They seemed to me to be in a cult. Sort of a 'Tom Cruise' kinda thrust to it. I wasn't feelin' it. Although,in the end I sort of warmed up to it. I would only recommend it if you are a witchcraft/romance/cult kinda person. The writing was impecable as usual. WS does a great job at story-telling. I enjoy her many other books as well as her fanfiction, but this one was sort of lost on me. Sorry WS, I still love you but this story did not do it for me.

Lizzy has been charged with protecting the world, but the Evil One knows that she is nearby. A nicely written combination of OtherWorldness with the original characters - the put down to Lady Catherine se Bourgh is brilliant. Skip the intro till you have read a couple of chapters. Recommended.

Ceri at Babblings of a Bookworm

An unusual variation on a Pride and Prejudice

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a Pride and Prejudice variation which is pretty out-there; Elizabeth is the High Priestess of the tribal world and Darcy comes across her performing ancient rites that allow good spirits to visit the living world on Halloween. He had been struggling with his attraction towards Elizabeth (it's Halloween, so is set not long after he's met Elizabeth and while he's still at Netherfield).

Darcy is told by the spirits of his parents that he is Elizabeth's soul mate and that he will soon have to protect her from terrible danger from an evil spirit that will try to do her harm. Elizabeth is told the same by her grandmother's spirit. She is obviously less pleased than Darcy at this news, but agrees to give him another chance and the story then moves into a planning and training of the people appointed as guardians of the High Priestess to avoid this evil spirit succeeding.

I don't mind stories which are a bit more unusual and I thought this was such an interesting idea for a story. There were also a number of nice touches referring back to Pride and Prejudice events and dialogue. However, there were two things which reduced my enjoyment in the story.

Firstly, there were many instances of words which were either American English, too modern for the period or just felt wrong, for example, the many references to 'British society' when I feel that English people of that period would refer to English society instead, etc. Secondly, and this was the bigger issue for me, I felt that the characters were too accepting of the fantastical circumstances that they find themselves in. It's not just one character, but all go them that are not part of the tribal society just seem to accept it at face value without any kind of struggle or doubt. Everything happens at breakneck speed - relationships are formed, feelings develop really, really quickly and it just didn't seem plausible for me.

This book is brilliant. It goes in any very different direction than any other P&P based book i've ever read. The plot is wonderfully refreshing, but keeps to the heart of the characters. 10/10 A must read!
