Bayou Born

By: Hailey Edwards

Narrated by: Laurence Bouvard

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 and 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....

Critic 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)

Loved it

Loved it. Can’t wait for more. Just had to listen from start to end in a weekend.

Narration poor quality

Struggled to listen due to narration. The story was moderate. Undecided if I will read more of series.

Is this narrator serious?

She did good.... until you get to the men narration. They all sound like 40 year old smokers trying to play a smoker. What the hell. Why why why I wanted to listen to it but how you supposed to picture a sexy man with a voice like that.

so so good!

absolutly love this book series! iI hope there will be much more to come. very well writtne with a deep story line and excellent character development

great book

I love listening to this book. it made feel like i was apart of it. i lovecthe characters and the person who read it.

#TeamLuce awaits!

I’m not new to Hailey Edwards books but this was a series I held off on. I wasn’t sure how I’d like it. I was surprised though. She opened up a whole new world that has you guessing from page to page to see what’s happening, what’s coming and who is doing it.

This book is a little slow going on the beginning but with that said, the scene was set well. There is a helluva lot of layers to this one. So many people, creatures and chaos that it’s an on going train ride across crazy town.

Luce finds herself in the middle of the tracks, a train full of bad people barreling for her and she only has two choices. Fight or be killed. It’s a right line at its best. I’m the end, she manages to come out with only a few new battle wounds. But, her life will never be the same. There is a new threat looming on the horizon waiting for her to make a mistake.

Good 1st Installment

The narrator did a decent job, I was good with her female voices but wasn't the biggest fan of her male voices. This was an enjoyable 1st book in a series and I'm looking forward to the next book to see what will happen. You need to read in order as this storyline has a continuation arc.

Worst. Narrator. Ever.

If I wanted to listen to a nickelodeon kids show narrator, I would have purchased a Kids book. This is not adult book contant quality narration. Ugh. Painful.

Loved the story

I’m a big fan of Hailey edwards and really enjoyed the story. The narration was absolutely awful. The fake southern accent, the screeching male leads.. Had to stop and switch to the book version to finish out the story.

More than just entertainment

Loved every word,sentence and paragraph in this book. Such an imaginative story made better by the audible narrator.

It’s so easy to become invested in the characters. Please tell me there is going to more books in this series soon ❤️
