I get a kick out of the Tiki Goddess Mysteries. That reminds me that I have a couple more to read to finish that series.

It was a fun read and I plan on continuing the series. Love the Hula Maidens they're quite the characters.

True! And they have quite a penchant for getting into trouble. :)

Are you going to continue with the series in Australia, Lori?

Cherie wrote: "Are you going to continue with the series in Australia, Lori?"

I haven't quite decided yet. Overall, I liked the book and I would like to see what happens, but the teen angst stuff kind of worked on my nerves and that's why I gave it 3 stars. I added it to my series list so we'll see.

If the teen angst stuff got on your nerves in this first book, you might give the rest a pass, Lori.

Thanks for the heads up, Cherie! We'll see if my curiosity gets the better of me and I'll suffer through the angst to see what happens. Or if I need another Australia setting for a challenge, lol.
