Little Dip

Garoul, Book 0

By: Gill McKnight

Narrated by: Alexandra Matthew

It's 1977, and Connie Fortune has an easy, freewheeling life as a wildlife photographer and illustrator. A new contract brings her to the Little Dip valley in Oregon to track down a rare bird, but a clash with Sylvie Garoul, the valley's owner and matriarch of the mysterious Garoul family, and her daughter, the haughty, frustrating, but somehow bewitching Marie Garoul, ruins the deal.

The following year Connie tries again, but this time, things have changed. The residents of nearby Lost Creek are up in arms about strange goings-on in the valley, with blame swirling around the Garouls. Connie is unsure whose side she is on, even as she's drawn deeper into Little Dip.

Great book

This review is the only thing delaying me from buying the next book. More words.

unlikable main character

I really liked this story, but found Connie to be unlikable, rude and entitled. Throughout the book I wondered what anyone could possibly like about her. I loved all the other characters and will listen to the rest of the series. Hopefully Connie has matured in the upcoming books.

Loved the book

Despite the fact that I don’t like the genre.... I am not into werewolf stories, but this one was very good as the werewolf side of it was quite hidden. It took more than half the book for me to realized what it was and I loved the characters.
Narration was excellent.
