Interesting teaser! I love the cover and the blurb, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Here's MY TUESDAY MEMES POST
I love to read about new books. Thanks for this review!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great book--but not if you're planning a trip to Hawaii in the near future! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast between a beautiful idyllic setting and danger. It also sounds like there's humor in the book - based on your teaser. Great post.
ReplyDeleteMy Teaser is from Toxic Torte.
I will be looking for your review on this one because that cover would make me NOT read this one!
