The Cherry Trees of Rosings: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Morgan Blake

 

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Astral Coma Projection

This one belongs under Astral Coma Projection. Mr. Darcy survives a carriage accident only to find his spectral self tethered to Elizabeth. Why her? She is his "One," apparently—a theory I’m sticking to for lack of a better map.

The story is a fun jaunt through a spooky Austen landscape with solid rom-com energy. However, it loses a star for a glaring plot hole: Fitzwilliam’s refusal to tell the family where Darcy is bedridden. The silence is never explained, leaving the reader as ghosted as the protagonist.

Still, it’s a decent adventure in the ties that bind—literally.
