Love. It's the most magical feeling in the world. It's also the most dangerous.
Well, it is if you're Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, anyway. She may know how to behead a zombie in her sleep, but when it comes to this whole love thing, she's pretty lost. It's a total shock, for example, when Mr. Darcy says he loves her. (And here Elizabeth had been thinking up clever ways to kill him.) Eventually, she comes around, but first she has to figure out that feelings are just as good as fighting.
The good news is that she and Mr. Darcy can slay the undead and then hold hands afterwards.
