Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye
3.0

This came highly recommended and I was a little disappointed. This is a retelling of Jane Eyre, and this Jane (Steele) has a violent past. The writing is excellent, very clever and witty. The cover blurb says that this is a cross between Jane Eyre and Dexter, so that got my hopes up...it's not. I was expecting gruesome well-planned murders, which wasn't the case. Since I'm planning on rereading Jane Eyre this year, this story has pushed it to the top of my list.
