One Truth, No Lie Book 3 in the Niuhi Shark Saga

One Truth, No Lie: Book 3 of 3 in the Niuhi Shark Saga

Author: Lehua Parker
Highlights:

Everything you thought you knew about Zader is a lie.

Kalei, the Man with Too Many Teeth, gave me an ultimatum: Bite Jay or watch as Kalei murders everyone I love. Kalei will do it. I have no doubt.

Jay’s anger is white-hot. If I take his leg, he’ll never surf again. He’s my brother, but he’ll hunt me down and kill me for this. He won’t forgive me.

Either way, I end up alone.

No matter what they say, I’m not Niuhi. I’m a Westin. I’m a kid, not a shark. I can’t live without Jay, Char Siu, Uncle Kahana, or ‘Ilima. Just me and my psycho sister Maka roaming the seas forever? No thanks.

There’s got to be more to my life than this. I refuse to believe that I’m a monster and a pawn in someone’s cosmic game.

I’m making my own rules now.

Author: Lehua Parker
Highlights:

When you’re allergic to water, growing up in Hawaii isn’t always paradise.

Everybody loves Jay.

I love my brother, too. Sometimes I wish I could be him–a surfing star instead of the weird kid allergic to water, the Blalahs’ favorite punching bag.

But that’s not the worst of it.

In the middle of the night, I dream. There’s a mysterious girl who lives in a magical place and acts like she knows me better than I know myself. We hide from the Man with Too Many Teeth. Some nights I wake up with my heart pounding and the urge to eat raw meat.

It’s just a dream, right?

But then I saw him, the Man with Too Many Teeth, walking along the reef at Piko Point.

Not even Jay can protect me now.

Rell's Kiss Lauele Fractured Folktales #2

Rell’s Kiss: Lauele Fractured Folktales #2

Author: Lehua Parker
Highlights:

Rell never imagined an 18th birthday like this.

When Rell’s stepmonster Regina summons her to Lauele, Hawai’i, she knows better than to expect umbrella drinks, birthday presents, and open arms. The most she hopes for is some quality time with her twin step-sisters, a walk on the beach, and a little fun at a charity auction sponsored by her father’s corporation.

From the moment Rell lands in Honolulu, her life turns upside down as she reconnects with her Hawaiian heritage and discovers she’s surrounded by hidden agendas, lies, and ancient family obligations.

To save Lauele and Get Wet Prosthetics, Rell will have to navigate an island filled with Menehune day laborers, a snow goddess’s vacation rental, a toppled sacred ‘aumakua stone, disappearing clothing, ‘Ilima as a not-so-fairy-godmother, and—worst of all—her stepmonster’s lawyers.
