I like Jane Austen & I like the supernatural, so I figured that this compilation would be something I'd be sure to enjoy. For the most part, it succeeded. For my review, I'm going story by story: 
 Almost Persuaded: I'm sad to say that this was easily the weakest story of the bunch. It takes quite a few liberties with the original story & not all of them good. The most noticeable one was a detailed sex scene that while being very steamy, stuck out like a sore thumb & didn't really fit in with everything else in the tale. 
 Northanger Castle: This one started off slowly at first, but it did pick up after a few pages. However, the ending just felt way too rushed. Overall it wasn't bad but was just disappointing when you consider the talent that wrote it. If there could have been more detail to the ending, the story would have become one of my favorites of the book. 
 Blood & Prejudice: Setting this in modern day really worked well with the supernatural elements but some of the parts from the original book just seemed a little awkward at times. I liked it better than the previous two, but that's mostly because it seemed better plotted out in comparison. If NC's ending had been better, it would have blown this one out of the water. 
 Little to Hex Her: I loved this, but then I'm a fan of chick-lit & this most certainly followed along those lines. This one was my favorite & I really wish that this could have been spun out into a fuller length book in order to work in more of the original book. The only downfall is that everything happens so quickly that it has a 'blink & you'll miss it' quality. 
 Overall this was a decent enough book & I'm sure that it'll find more than a few readers. I debated giving this 4 stars, but in the end I just didn't like it enough for 4 stars.
