" READER, I BURIED HIM . "

A timeless tale of love, devotion . . . and the undead.

Jane Slayre, our plucky demon-slaying heroine, a courageous orphan who spurns the detestable vampyre kin who raised her, sets out on the advice of her ghostly uncle to hone her skills as the fearless slayer she's meant to be. When she takes a job as a governess at a country estate, she falls head-over-heels for her new master, Mr. Rochester, only to discover he's hiding a violent werewolf in the attic—in the form of his first wife. Can a menagerie of bloodthirsty, flesh-eating, savage creatures-of-the-night keep a swashbuckling nineteenth-century lady from the gentleman she intends to marry? Vampyres, zombies, and werewolves transform Charlotte BrontË's unforgettable masterpiece into an eerie paranormal adventure that will delight and terrify

Reading Level: Young Adults

I definitely think this is a book more for a later age of young adult. It really depends on the maturity level of the person that is reading it. Obviously, it is a bloody book and it is about slaying demons and vampires. I wouldn't recommend it for a young reader.
