I love the books in this series even if I jump around.. it doesn’t make a difference where i am reading in the series. I also like “knowing the future”, which i did while enjoying this one.
Love all of Toby Neal’s books! True to the Hawaiian lifestyle.
A true crime story with good characters.
I love Toby Neal’s books! Great characters, the way he describes Hawaii I feel like I’m there. I like how he cross references characters from his other books. Several oh wow moments!
Great character development. Love the way the author hooks you to read the next chapter….
It has been awhile since I read this book, all I can remember is that I really enjoyed it.
I loved this book!! Sophie and Jake are such memorable characters. There is never a dull moment reading this story. So many emotions—I literally held my breath a few times, felt fear for the characters, happy, sad, surprise, shock at things that happened. Such vivid and beautiful descriptions. This series is amazing and I can’t recommend it highly enough. If you like a storyline and characters that grab you from page one, you will definitely not be disappointed.
I have read all of the books in this series!
Another Toby Neal Thriller!
Toby Neal is incapable of writing a bad book!
The story continues, threads are woven then frayed. Keeps you reading, in my case, ALL NIGHT!
I love this entire series. Looking forward to the next one.
I enjoy all of Toby Neal books but find her main character almost unbelievable.
One of my favorite authors. Love the characters and can’t wait to read the next installment.
gripping story hard to put down.
Toby is a great story teller with well crafted characters and story lines. I am always eager for the next book in her series.
Once again, Toby Neal writes a riveting story with rich, complex characters in an ideal setting. Sophie, her partner Jake, and their beloved two dogs are off on an adventure to help others and right wrongs in the Hawaiian Islands. Can’t wait for the next adventure.
It started out a little slower than previous Sophie stories but it really picked up. Enter Jake, Connor and don’t forget the Chang family and you have another page turner.
Another fine story about Sophie Ang and her partner/boyfriend Jake Dunn and Security
Solutions owner Sheldon Hamilton aka Collin. They are hired to investigate missing funds
meant for the annual Merrie Monarch Festival held in Hilo Hawaii. Enter Sophie’s nemesis
Alan’s Chang who had finally been tried and convicted due to her testimony and escapes with
the priority purpose to avenge by killing Sophie and Jake. Another storyline enters involving a
love triangle and expected baby arrival (whose baby is it)? Are you excited yet? I don’t want to
give any spoilers but this is a page turner to the end which comes too soon in my opinion. Will
Sophie be safe? How many times can she survive the attacks made on her life? Will Akane find
and kill Sophie? Will he kill Jake? Who is the baby daddy? What about Sheldon/Collin who still
loves Sophie unconditionally. How can a girl decide? oh, to have such problems ….
As usual I can’t wait for the sequel.
Author Toby Neal has written an original fast paced story with Wired Fear, filled with twists, turns, threats and triumph. Her character, Sophie Ang, a tech sleuth that swears creatively in Thai, continues her journey of self-discovery and healing amidst an investigation to uncover a possible crime involving a hula festival on Big Island.
Sophie again partners with her affectionate dog, Ginger, and work associate and lover, Jake. Filled with explosive situations, dangerous deranged criminals, a relative with suspect intentions and three men that she has loved, Sophie moves forward to untangle the threads of the investigation and her heart.
Neal’s consistently creates compelling and complex personalities for her characters, captivating you with their idiosyncrasies, charisma, and intelligence.
As with all Neal’s stories, there are multiple layers for you to unwrap in her characters, enough adventure in the sub-stories that keep you captivated until the last page and all together she leaves you craving the next installment in the series.
I could not get into this book.
