Read "When the Bough Breaks" by Mercedes Lackey et al in a single sitting last night. This book is the second half of a Baen omnibus called "The Otherworld", and I bought it in Feb 2000. This is a part of my ongoing "read my Baen backlist" project.
I found this book disturbing, to tell you the truth. It's urban fantasy - the usual "elves and motor-racing" subject of this series - but the underlying theme of the book is the sexual abuse of children (in this case a little girl being sexually abused by her step-father). Not an easy read at all.
