Miserere: An Autumn Tale by Teresa Frohock
4.0
Torment, angst, and redemption? Oh yes. This book hit just the spot. (And the cover is gorgeous. So gorgeous.) What makes this even better is that the characters are mature and self-aware. Such a nice change from stories where we get pointless misunderstandings for the sake of plot and characters who act twelve. (I'm looking at you, most mainstream romance genre.)
This was a super sweet story steeped in violence and darkness. Loved it. I've been starved for a good fantasy+romance combo.
I guess I should talk a little about the plot? Well, you get a power-hungry sister who will do anything to keep her brother beholden to her, a brother whose done a few not-so-nice things for his sister (up to and including sacrificing the love of his life to Hell) but who wants out, and a woman who's been suffering under the weight of that betrayal for years. Collision course.
