- The scandalous confessions of Lydia Bennet, Witch / by Taub, Melinda,author.;
- "A sparkling, witchy reimagining of Pride and Prejudice, told from the perspective of the troublesome and -- according to her -- much-maligned youngest Bennet sister, Lydia. In this exuberant reimagining of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Lydia Bennet puts pen to paper to relate the real events and aftermath of the classic story from her own perspective. Some facts are well known: Mrs. Bennet suffers from her nerves; Mr. Bennet suffers from Mrs. Bennet, and all five daughters suffer from an estate that is entailed only to male heirs. But Lydia also suffers from entirely different concerns: her best-loved sister Kitty is really a barn cat, and Wickham is every bit as wicked as the world believes him to be, but what else would you expect from a demon? And if you think Mr. Darcy was uptight about dancing etiquette, wait till you see how he reacts to witchcraft. Most of all, Lydia has yet to learn that when you're a witch, promises have power ...

The world refuses to make a place for peculiar Mary, but no Bennet sister ever gives up on happiness that easily. If it won't give this fierce, lonely girl a place, she'll carve one out herself. And if finding acceptance requires a husband, she'll get one. Even if she has to make him herself, too. However, Mary's genius and determination aren't enough to control what she unwittingly unleashes. Her desperate attempts to rein in the destruction wreaked by her creations leads her to forge a perhaps unlikely friendship with another brilliant young woman unlike any she's ever known. As that friendship blossoms into something passionate and all-consuming, Mary begins to realize that she may have to choose between the acceptance she's always fought for and true happiness"--
