FULL DISCLAIMER: I have not read Jane Eyre. Although after reading this book, I may go back and read it. I know it won't be as cool as this one but it might make me appreciate it more.
If you like recreations of literature, then this series if definitely for you. It's funny and puts a fun twist on history.
This book obviously follows Jane Eyre who is an orphan who longs to be a governess. When a supernatural investigator (aka ghost hunter), Alexander Blackwood, discovers her ability to see ghosts, he does everything in his power to get her to join The Society. However, Jane gets a job as a governess at Thornfield Hall and falls in love with the master of house.
Mr. Blackwood and Charlotte Bronte work together to bring back Jane home because maybe the master of Thornfield Hall is a nefarious villian. Or maybe something worse is at work here.
Overall, this is a great remake of the great Jane Eyre, even though I've never read the original. I really enjoyed this book and adding in the supernatural element was really quirky.
