“Neal’s female leads are strong, fierce, independent and fabulous although rough around the edges. She writes with such exquisite detail…immersing you into the island surroundings as though you are there. Exhilarating, suspenseful, thrilling, fast paced, action packed, easy flow, engaging, immersive, vulnerable, and scintillating.” ~F. Thorn, reviewer

This book was pretty good…loved the location setting in Maui! Appreciated the clean language & no sex.
Lei Texeria is on the case, with help from her friends in the FBI, when looters are discovered stealing Hawaii’s historical figures and leaving dead bodies in their wake. Great mystery, romance and island descriptions!
Toby Neal writes great protagonists! I loved the Lei series and now with Sophie Ang on her own in the private sector after the FBI, things are back to ‘normal’. I enjoy the situations she gets into, but she seems to attract trouble i.e. kidnapped, etc and men who want to hurt her or love her. I read this one out of ‘order’ hope I don’t regret it. LOL I’m behind on this series.
I am a fan of Toby Neal & her descriptions of Hawaii & it’s islands. Her characters are believable. Can hardly put any of her books down.
I testing characters! I gave enjoyed the series.
Anything written by Toby Neal is a book to be read.
entertaining but not memorable.
I read the entire series and loved it.
This series(I’ve read -8 and working on #9) is wonderful. Characters are intriguing and plots keep you guessing! Love it
Always exciting somewhat frustrated main character can’t seem to trust anyone, always wants to do it herself.
Very suspenseful. It made me think the main character as a woman of steel.
I enjoyed this story, and the vivid descriptions of Hawai’i I lived there for a couple of years, and this book made me homesick! The characters are believable, and the story moves fast. I have read a couple of other books in this series, and enjoyed them all. I recommend this book.
I like her characters and the setting, She mixes all the people of her books in each onel
Keeps you interested
Loved reading..
Neal’s books set in Hawaii are entertaining. Ties to the Hawaiian culture are also informative, and the stories are not formulaic. An enjoyable read.
Love all of his series!
The Hawaii setting is always interesting and they have good plot lines, I like following the characters in the Toby Neal books.
Wow! Great read!
Hard to put down. Great series!
