title: Bayou Born (The Foundling Series)
author:  Hailey Edwards 
description: <div><b>Everything about Bayou Born is epic and mysterious and dark, and I LOVE IT.</b>So many secrets surrounding the swamp, a group of characters masquerading as a security firm, and around the main character herself, whose own history is shrouded in secret.<b>Her actual secret, her history, BLEW MY MIND</b>. I didn&apos;t predict anything anywhere near that immense Freaking Plot Twist, and I&apos;m still reeling from it. This book hurt me so badly near the end and my heart still hurts when I think about it. But<b>that ending has me so excited for the next book, which I need ASAP</b>.(<i>Goodreads</i>)</div><br /><div></div><div>&quot;<b>Hailey Edwards takes us on a suspenseful ride</b>through swamp and city with scary, human eating heroes and confused, possibly maleficent heroines to show us that<b>our best selves can overcome not only our worst selves, but also other mean and scary things, and emerge, scuffed and bruised but ultimately victorious</b>.&quot; (<i>LiveJournal</i>)</div><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><span>Be prepared for</span><b>a fast-moving journey filled with the unexpected</b><span>.

  Hailey Edwards writes about questionable applications of otherwise perfectly
  good magic, the transformative power of love, the family you choose for
  yourself, and blowing stuff up. Not necessarily all at once. That could get
  messy. She lives in Alabama with her husband, their daughter, and a herd of
  dachshunds.
