Read January 2019.
What an intriguing surprise this turned out to be.
I was expecting a Southern USA cop thriller, but what I got was actually an urban fantasy tale with demons in it!.
It reminded me a little of the Sookie Stackhouse series, which I loved.
Luce Boudrou was found, aged fifteen, in a Mississippi bayou. She has no memories, apparently no family, and she is covered in strange metallic bands, that appear to be part of her skin.
Luce is adopted by the cop that found her and she grows up to follow in his footsteps as a cop herself, albeit a cop who inspires suspicion in many around her.
Luce has no idea that her true origin is something she could never have imagined, but she is about to find out about her dark and powerful destiny, after another girl is discovered in the swamp and she has the same markings as Luce. She is also about to meet the "family" she never knew she had.
I loved this book.
There are some great characters in this book and a nice hook at the end to draw you into book two, which is called Bone Driven.
