Resumen del Editor

The newest haunting mystery from the beloved author of The Gates of Evangeline, featuring Charlie Cates, a headstrong heroine who must confront her unwanted supernatural gift and bring dark secrets to light if she ever wants to leave the Big Island....

Journalist Charlie Cates has always believed in facts, in what can be proved - her career depends on it. Which is why she has never truly accepted the supernatural visions that guide her to children in danger. After her work on a high-profile missing-child case brings unwanted fame, she reluctantly flees to the lush Big Island of Hawaii with her best friend, Rae. Determined to avoid her disturbing visions, Charlie begins writing what seems to be a harmless interview of a prominent volcanologist, Victor Nakagawa. But her hopes for a peaceful vacation are soon dashed by haunting dreams of a local girl who went missing six weeks earlier.

In the small and sleepy town of Kalo Valley, Charlie and Rae come to realize that even paradise has its ugly secrets, and the Nakagawa family is no exception. In order to find the missing teenager and stop a dangerous predator from striking again, Charlie is forced to embrace the gift she has always tried to conceal. Meanwhile, someone is watching her every move, and the closer Charlie gets to the truth, the more distant her chances of ever leaving the island alive.

With a deliciously eerie and fast-paced story told in vivid prose, all with an overlay of supernatural suspense, The Burning Island is a pulse-pounding mystery perfect for fans of Jennifer McMahon and Kate Atkinson.

Hawaiian Paradise?

This was not one of my favorite books in the series it started out kind of slow but It did pick up the end and overall it was pretty good.

Interesting storyline

I thought the mystery was weaved and revealed in many clever ways, and I didn’t necessarily foresee the ending. Good narration and pacing as well

Unsatisfying Ending

I love January Levoy's narration and overall a good story. however, the ending was very bad. I would skip the last couple of chapters after the suspect is revealed and make up your own ending.

Good and a bit different

I enjoyed the story but it did drag a bit in the middle or early second half. Seemed like repeat filler instead of character enhancement. Over all good entertainment.

Just Okay

This book is just okay. It was not clear in the description that it was I think the third in a series. You certainly don't need to read the others to understand this one but it might have been good to know. January LaVoy is always a great reader and the book overall was an easy listen. The characters are not entirely likeable but tolerable.

I enjoyed the story

The ending made me want a series to get written. I love the narrator and find myself looking for her as much as some of the authors I love. This book kept me guessing the whole time.

Gripping

A gripping story read by my favorite narrator. I was not familiar with this author beforehand, but I’m definitely going to look for her other books.
