Carter is a travel writer on assignment writing about the big island of Hawaii. His guide is missing, so the man's sister becomes his substitute guide. They follow clues to find her brother and there is a little mystery of what is going on with him and his twin, and some romance between him and Nai'a.
That said, there are fun facts about Hawaii and its history and culture and lots of wonderful pictures (though my kindle copy had several pictures that didn't load for whatever reason.
It is light and fun and with the volcano erupting as well -- reminding me of what is going on right now in Hawaii. The only thing I have mixed feelings about is the almost overuse of metaphors -- you can tell the writer really loves metaphors. Most I enjoyed, but sometimes it seemed like too many for me.
Also, there was an odd chapter from the POV of a cat which didn't quite fit for me, though it was amusing.

I loved the mixture of romance and mystery, set on the tumultuous lava of the Big Island of Hawaii. The protagonist is a Southern gentleman, a travel writer, a bit over his head with the goings on in the underbelly of local Hawaiian culture and Cain-Abel brotherhood vengeance. Could he rise to the occasion and become the hero of the day, finding his missing guide, the brother of the entrancing Nai'a? I'll leave the spoiler alert to others.
