Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
I grabbed the eARC of Lord of the Abyss by Nalini Singh from NetGalley recently because I really like her work. This is one book in a multi-author series and is part of the Harlequin Nocturne line.
Beginning:
He was the most beautiful monster she had ever seen.Friday 56:
Trying not to think about the fact that she had just given her back to the man who scared even shadows, she made a face at a speck of dirt that seemed imprinted in her skin.Here is the product description from Amazon:
Once upon a time…the Blood Sorcerer vanquished the kingdom of Elden. To save their children, the queen scattered them to safety and the king filled them with vengeance. Only a magical timepiece connects the four royal heirs…and time is running out.…
As the dark Lord who condemns souls to damnation in the Abyss, Micah is nothing but a feared monster wrapped in impenetrable black armor. He has no idea he is the last heir of Elden, its last hope. Only one woman knows—the daughter of his enemy.
Liliana is nothing like her father, the Blood Sorcerer who'd cursed Micah. She sees past Micah's armor to the prince inside. A prince whose sinful touch she craves. But first she has to brave his dark, dangerous lair and help him remember.
Because they only have till midnight to save Elden.
Sounds scarily romantic.
