Surprise Incest!

So I'm just starting the second book of a trilogy, right (Freda Warrington's Jewel Fire series btw)? And at the end of the first book the protagonist discovered that she was not actually human and crossed through a portal to find her Aelyr (pronounced as "Tolkien elf rip off") family and finds that she has a brother? So far, a bit cliched, but that

Pretty much, she starts thinking about kissing him all the time he's explaining how he's actually her brother. I'm hoping there's a later development that explains it better, like perhaps she was drugged or something, because she apparently passed out after the sex.

He was elvish, mayvbe it doesn't count. >.>

You don't have to be British to be squicked by this. Is this a YA? Because YA tends to love the "doin' it with yer brother" kind of drama. Most of the time it's the "we're hawt for each other, oh-crap-we're-related-and-can't-be-together, then oh, wait, it's okay because somebody was really a changeling/adopted/switched at birth in a Lifetime movie of the week" thing.

Either that, or this author read too much VC Andrews in the 80's.

It's not YA, it's "mainstream fantasy", whatever that means.
