"Err Apparent" is the first book in the Tenibrian Affairs series. Readers will meet established couple, Gabriel and Miles. The action starts as Gabriel escapes his abusive past by killing his tormentor, only to inherit a cursed manor and noble title he never desired. The story unfolds in Averdon, where Gabriel's inheritance legally prevents him from marrying Miles, the mage who saved him and the love of his life. As Gabriel and Miles confront the corrupt aristocracy, they must navigate the challenges of a sentient, haunted house that holds onto its new master. Together, they embark on a journey back to the city that broke them, wielding magic and wit to dismantle their adversaries. Their love and resilience are tested as they battle both external foes and internal demons, seeking to destroy or reshape the power left behind by Gabriel's abuser.
I am so glad I read this book! I'm looking forward to the next book in the series! Romance enthusiasts will appreciate "Err Apparent" for its rich, gothic atmosphere and the intricate interplay of romance and fantasy. The novel offers a unique blend of historical elements and magical realism, creating a world where societal constraints and supernatural challenges intersect. Readers who enjoy character-driven narratives will find Gabriel and Miles' established relationship refreshing, as it explores themes of trust, healing, and resilience. The book's immersive world-building, combined with its nuanced portrayal of trauma and recovery, provides depth and emotional resonance. Moreover, the story's focus on overcoming societal barriers and embracing one's identity resonates with the transformative journeys often found in a Happy For Now story. I love the idea of a sentient house and I'm torn between Velma or Genna Paystone being my favorite secondary character. The author has a unique twist on the idea of what vampires are and how they become vampires. Oh, and it also really stood out to me how Gabriel chose his name as he was doing all the paperwork. I think the world building is just beginning and I am excited to read more! A great debut novel!
