Haven Creek by Rochelle Alers
2.0
The story line is pretty good, but the narrator is God-awful! She mispronounces words throughout and it sounds like she’s reading. I’m sticking with it because I want to finish the series but my word!
On another note, it would have been great to actually have some Gullah dialect in the story. I’ve listened to the first two books as well and no-one sounds like they’re from the Lowcountry at all (Beaufort, SC born and bred, so I would know). We may not all speak Gullah all the time, but we definitely don’t sound like Texans (narration of Jeff in book 2).
