I love Elridge's Lily Wong series and was apprehensive about a new series. You know how it is when you read a book by a favorite author but the characters are different and you keep waiting for the familar name to appear? | was happily surprised that I didn't have any trouble diving into Kauai Storm and never once expected Lily to appear. Another engaging female protagonist!

Tori Eldridge does a fantastic job in writing this first entry in the Ranger Makalani Pahukula Mystery series. I was invested in the mystery and getting to know the characters in this world. It had that element that I was looking for and was engaged with what was happening. I'm excited to read more in this series and from Tori Eldridge.
