Bayou Born (The Foundling, #1)

by Hailey Edwards

"Edwards [creates] amazing fantasy worlds that the reader becomes completely engrossed in." Goodreads

Her beginning may be our end . . .

Deep in the humid Mississippi bayou, a half-wild child is dragged from the murky waters. She has no memories, no family and is covered in mysterious markings. Adopted by the policeman who rescued her, Luce Boudreau follows him onto the force, determined to prove herself in the eyes of those who are still suspicious.
However, there's more of a battle ahead than Luce could possibly imagine. She may be an orphan without a past, but no one - including Luce herself - could ever be prepared for the truth of her dark, powerful destiny . .

"Well-plotted fantasy continues to engage the reader with its intriguing characters, heart-pounding action, suspenseful intrigue and subtle romance." RT Book Reviews

"The world building is fresh ... The characters are well-drawn and easy to root for. And the romance really hits the spot." Red Hot Books

3.5 stars. This took me FOREVER to read, but not because it wasn't good. It was good and there were so many unexpected twists and turns. It definitely went places I wasn't expecting and I enjoyed that a lot. The characters were interesting and the concept was very unique. It never took me to that place where I just HAD TO KNOW what was coming next and so I easily set it down when I needed to go bed or whatever. I do think I'll continue with the series eventually, as it had a lot of the grittiness I like in my UF. Just need to make sure I'm in the right space to get really into it.
