Darker Still by Leanna Renee Hieber

Pub. Date: November 1, 2011

Goodreads says, "The Picture of Dorian Gray meets Pride and Prejudice, with a dash of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.  New York City, 1882. Seventeen-year-old Natalie Stewart's latest obsession is a painting of the handsome British Lord Denbury. Something in his striking blue eyes calls to her. As his incredibly life-like gaze seems to follow her, Natalie gets the uneasy feeling that details of the painting keep changing... Jonathan Denbury's soul is trapped in the gilded painting by dark magic while his possessed body commits unspeakable crimes in the city slums. He must lure Natalie into the painting, for only together can they reverse the curse and free his damaged soul."

*The first thing that interested me in this book, other than the great cover, is the fact that they synopsis says it's a combination of "The Picture of Dorian Gray meets Pride and Prejudice, with a dash of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."  Being an English nerd and Jane Austen fanatic, that's pretty much all I needed to hear. Plus, I love that it's set in the 1800's.
