Ghosts of Waikiki by Jennifer K. Morita
3.0
The bright colors combined with palm trees on the cover already had my interest piqued, the synopsis drew me in further, so I applied to listen/review on NetGalley.
It got off to a slow start, but I couldn’t help but almost feel like it did drop me in Hawaii so I was in. Eventually, it did pick up a bit interest-wise and if the narrator wasn’t so awful, I’d have been hard-pressed to put it down. (As it was, I had to listen in short bursts because the sound was rather torturous.)
Overall, the ‘mystery’ itself was okay—predictable and lacking in originality, but what isn’t anymore? The tropical setting and the fun action scenes kept the read worthwhile.
3 stars.
