    About this audiobook

    Page-turning romantic suspense set amid the gorgeous beauty of Hawaii and the impending danger of a volcano

    A brainy—and perpetually single—volcanologist, Annie Tagama works alongside her father at Hawaii Volcanoes
    National Park. But despite her pedigree, Annie has lost her passion for volcanology. She’s quietly grieving the mysterious
    loss of her brother in the Middle East.

    When Annie discovers that her brother might still be alive—and in trouble—she shakes off her malaise and joins
    forces with Mano Oana, the unnervingly handsome family friend she had always blamed for her brother’s death.

    As Annie and Mano investigate—and find that they have a lot more in common than tragedy—an evil force
    gathers strength on the main island. An ancient cult has reemerged—and Annie’s little sister is somehow involved.
    As the old religion bubbles to the surface like lava, the old practices are not far behind … including human sacrifice.

    Annie and Mano are desperate to find her brother and save her family from destruction before the ancient evil
    smothers them all in an earth-shattering eruption.

      This series of stories gives one a real feel for the Hawaiian people and some of their ways. It combines mystery and suspense and romance all together in a perfect setting. Although this is book two in the series and I always recommend you read them in the order they were written, you could read this as a stand alone book. There is a little bit of background on some of the people though that you will miss out on by not reading book one ('Distant Echoes') first.Volcanologist Annie Tagama is trying to hold her family together after loosing her mother and then her brother in very sudden and horrible deaths. Then her sister goes missing. Annie will have to seek the help of Mano Oana, who she blames for her brother's death. Mano can't get past the quilt of not saving Tomi, his best friend, when they were fleeing Iran on a mission gone bad. But a phone call Mano receives will change everything and lead to trying to solve a mystery that affects many people. Mano will begin to see Annie in a whole new way and want to be more than just a friend to her. This was quite a mystery and had me trying to figure out what was going on throughout the story. But the author did a good job of tying up the loose ends throughout this story. Now I am on to book 3 in this series, 'Dangerous Depths'!
    • 3/5
      I didn't like this one as much as Distant Echoes, but it was still a good thriller. The preachiness was a bit much for me, and I felt like Annie could have used a bit more of something; in fact, I felt like characterizations weren't as strong all around as they might have been. But nonetheless, I'll continue on with Dangerous Depths and will probably check out Coble's other work.
    • 3/5
      This was not one of my all time favorite Colleen Coble books. I think it was an ok book with an overdone plot. I think why I was not too impressed with the book was that it was a plot she's already used in way to many of her books. Guy is Christian who is a good little christian and he needs to have a christian wife. Ok there is also a murder along the way and someone else goes missing. Girl is lost and struggling in life and can't seem to find her way. Everyone she know tells her that god is the way to end her struggling and she pretty much ignores them untill half way through the book until something makes her change her mind (a sign). Then she struggles with letting god into her life through the rest of the book while she also tries to solve a kidnapping. Ok I'll quit hating on the book now but before I do I want to know why she can't write a book about the girl being strong in her christian ways and the guy being a struggling christian. Why is the girl always the one who can't find her way in life and the guy sitting back and instead of helping her he says something like I'd love to marry you but you need to find god first. Why can't I for once read a book where its the other way around. Authors there are girls who have there lives figured out have wonderful jobs and pray to god every night that they will one day find a good man so why can't this be the heroine of the books you write???????Ok Ok now I actually didn't hate this book although you might think so It just needed a little more action and maybe a smarter Heroine : )
