It’s the second book I’ve read by this author. Enjoying it.
Good characters, good plots, great setting. Definitely recommend any in the series.
Too much sex not enough mystery.
Just couldn’t get into it. To many CHaractersand just did not get me past chapter 6
Same characters throughout her books becomes stale. Need new ideas, even if plots are different, too many similarities from previous novels.
First book in a must read series
I liked the characters
I lived on Oahu for two years. This book brought back many memories
I liked it a lot. I’ve read a number of her books.
Always enjoy books in this series. DO read them in order!!
Love all the books in this series. I wanted to see more of the characters
REALLY HAVE ENJOYED READING ALL THE BOOKS IN THIS SERIES SO FAR. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE
Good characters. Only thing I did not like was lack of some separation of scenes. One sentence about a situation and characters, then next sentence would be about different scenes and characters. Anything to Iindicate the change would have been helpful, even if it was just a symbol.
Love the whole series. Got this one free and got the rest one after another, then got her other series.
Good read
As with all Toby Neal novels I have read Dark Lava is intriguing and informative. I learn more about Hawaii with every one. The plots are original and keep me reading until the end. I also enjoy the personal aspects that are in each book.
I love all of Toby Neal’s books! Her use of characters & story lines are amazing. If you haven’t read any of the Lei Crimes series you need to, you will be hooked. This book is just one of the amazing ones in her collection!
Love reading Toby Neal.
Enjoyed e narrative and the action kept me coming back.
I enjoy the Lei Texiera books. Easy read, usually a twist at the I don’t see coming.
