I liked Luce, her partner and father. She has built strong ties even if she feels very much a loner. The more Edward's revealed that about her, the more I wanted to learn.
I love urban fantasy and Edwards did a wonderful job introducing the world and characters. We have a mystery when Luce's best friend goes missing and they find her blood. She is the second missing woman. The mysterious girl found in the swamp, now called Jane is in the hospital and Luce is hoping she holds the answers to who she is. Cole, a security expert and leader of an elite team is assigned by a mysterious benefactor to watch over Jane, and Cole follows Luce. I loved the interaction between them and was intent on finding out more.
Edwards mixed in a little humor and some sexual chemistry to offset the gritty, darker sides of the story and I appreciated the balance. We get to know more about Cole's security team and it left me excited to hear their stories.
Mythology, swamp creatures and heart-pounding danger gave this gritty tale an addictive pace. The reveal and set up for the next book has me eager to dive in. Bayou Born was a great start to the Foundling series This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
