I even liked the characters, and most of all, Harper. I love the unique spin on the Beauty and the Beast retelling. I figured if one of my favorite authors recommended it, I can't go wrong. This is another series that has been on my TBR for a while, and one of my favorite authors posted that she a) loves this author and her books, and b) there was a deal for the whole trilogy on kindle, and I was in a reading slump, so I bought it. But there are forces against them and Emberfall that even they don't know about. As time passes, and she begins to care for the people of Emberfall, and Prince Rhen - and Rhen learns that she is so different from the other women, he begins to have hope. And despite her anxiety over her brother, and fear of what she was witnessing, she attacks. When Harper is hiding in an alley, waiting for her brother to come back, she witnesses a man try to kidnap a woman. Her father left them, in debt with local loan sharks, and because she has cerebral palsy, her brother refuses to let her help him work off the debt for the gang. but at the beginning of every season, his loyal guard crosses over to a different realm, and takes a woman, in hopes she will be the one to break the curse.
He destroys everything over the years - his home, his family, his kingdom. Rhen is handsome, and charming - no problem, right? But at the end of the season, Rhen turns into a beast, and kills whomever is in his sights, with no control to stop. Prince Rhen, heir to Emberfall, is cursed by a powerful witch, if forced to relive the autumn of his 18th year over and over again, until a woman could fall in love with him. A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer is the first book in her Cursebreakers trilogy, and centers around 18 year old Harper, and 18* year old Prince Rhen.
