Midnight in Austenland

Midnight in Austenland ***
by Shannon Hale
Book Type: Romance, Mystery
Summary: When Charlotte Kinder treats herself to a two-week vacation at Austenland, she happily leaves behind her ex-husband and his delightful new wife, her ever-grateful children, and all the rest of her real life in America. She dons a bonnet and stays at a country manor house that provides an immersive Austen experience, complete with gentleman actors who cater to the guests' Austen fantasies. 
Everyone at Pembrook Park is playing a role, but increasingly, Charlotte isn't sure where roles end and reality begins. And as the parlor games turn a little bit menacing, she finds she needs more than a good corset to keep herself safe. Is the brooding Mr. Mallery as sinister as he seems? What is Miss Gardenside's mysterious ailment? Was that an actual dead body in the secret attic room? And-perhaps of the most lasting importance-could the stirrings in Charlotte's heart be a sign of real-life love?

My Review: I'll admit it. I'm a sucker for cheesy romance novels every once in a while. Like Austenland. LOVE IT. So I figured, okay, I'll give this quasi-sequel a chance... and... it was okay. The main character was alright, the leading men were handsome... And the mystery was so-so. Overall it was fun, but not fantastic. If you're looking for a good mystery, don't read this book. If you're looking for a good romance, don't read this book. If you're looking for an okay romance/mystery, this is would be a good choice for you :).
