What Jane's Been Reading, week ending August 15

Lord of the Abyss by Nalini Singh. This is a December release. It's a full fledged fairy tale with an ugly heroine (described as having a hook nose, walks with a limp, and a misshapen body) and a somewhat virginal hero. He's been Lord of the Abyss for as long as he can remember and has had no woman in that time. I read no other books in the series and wasn't lost at all. I was disappointed in a reveal at the end and that marred my enjoyment of the overall story. Full review to come in late...
