What to expect
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 . .
Brand new urban fantasy series by Hailey Edwards, bestselling author of the Gemini and Black Dog series. Perfect for fans of Jennifer Estep, Darynda Jones and Ilona Andrews.
Critics Review
Be prepared for a fast-moving journey filled with the unexpected.
Hailey Edwards has exceeded all expectations.
The author weaves an action-packed story of intrigue and betrayal. The dialogue is strong, the storyline compelling and the prose artful.
Edwards is a strong voice in the Adult Paranormal Romance genre.
Well-plotted fantasy continues to engage the reader with its intriguing characters, heart-pounding action, suspenseful intrigue and subtle romance.
The author spins an action-packed story of intrigue and betrayal, with an endearing romance at it’s heart. I adore a good marriage of convenience tale that ultimately turns into much more – and this one is exceptional.
Edwards has this way of writing that makes you feel like the narrator is talking to you and that you’re old friends.
The world building is fresh … The characters are well-drawn and easy to root for. And the romance really hits the spot.
Edwards [creates] amazing fantasy worlds that the reader becomes completely engrossed in.
“One aspect of her writing I enjoy is her ability to take the mundane and with a few changes, turn it into something unique and unexpected. She builds dynamic character bases, using common mythology but takes it one step further using previously unseen species or imbibing currently known species with skills and know how that offers readers something new in the paranormal world.
There is enough mystery, action, and adventure to keep even the most reluctant reader engaged.
Hailey has taken several elements of paranormal storytelling and created a whole new dimension for her characters to thrive in their muddied, twisted merriment. Some things aren’t as they seem, ensnaring readers to follow along.
