Paradise is haunted by betrayal.

What if you discovered that those closest to you were not who they seemed?

Tech sleuth Sophie Ang, her lovable dog Ginger, and her partner, Jake Dunn, tackle a new case involving a famous hula festival on the Big Island--but that's only one of the hot situations demanding Sophie's attention. Repercussions from the past and the return of a deadly relative threaten to tear apart the fragile life Sophie's trying to build. Everyone around her seems to want more from Sophie than she can give, and one of them plans to take her life.

In the midst of a volcano of conflicting agendas, Sophie must find a way to truth, victory and freedom.

"Neal's writing is persistently riveting... Masterly." ~Kirkus Reviews

  • ELECTRIC!

    Wired Fear (Paradise Crime Book #8) by Toby Neal is electric! This novel may be read as a stand alone but to fully understand the characters as well as the impassioned feelings between the characters, it should be read in the order in which it was written. It will totally change your perspective on this novel! Super Tech Sleuth Sophie Ang & partner Jake Dunn have opened a new branch office of Security Solutions on the Big Island. Sophie is desperately working on living a “normal” live after all she’s been through and Jake is doing his best to support her. Things are going almost too smoothly. They should have known that would be a short term situation! Quickly everything changes. There are major crises all around. The biggest has to with Sophie and choices she must make that will determine the course of her future. As always, Neal has provided her readers with an excellent plot that keeps you engaged from start to finish. Her characters are complex with none being more so than Sophie! With the setting being the gorgeous background of Hawaii, who would ever complain? Neal always teaches her readers a little more about the Islands, it’s culture and its people. I was provided an ARC of this book by the author. The opinions expressed here are completely my own and without influence.

    Omg! I love, love, LOVE Toby Neal!!! This book is everything that I hoped and so much more!! Toby did an outstanding job again. After surviving yet another attempt on her life, Sophie finds that life has thrown her another curve and what a curve it is! She finally realizes with whom her heart lies and I’m beyond excited about her choice! Her mother, while somewhat useful but not without a price, remains an issue but Sophie refuses to let her barge into her life and attempt to control her. Things are changing for Sophie and she may finally be well on her way to a long deserved healing path. I’m so super excited for Sophie and where her new journey takes her. I can’t wait for her next adventure!

    Cousins that owe favors to one another, when one is a District Attorney, and the other of crime. Justify’s by saying the family needs you. With tools Akane now feels in power once again after the trial, and revenge the name of the game. The list, with the female investigator at the top, and her partner. The Merrie Monarch Festival in Hilo, her firm gives a grant to it each year, has come to the new security offices of Sophie and Jake’s. Discrete with them being outsiders to look at missing money. For Sophie, she still has revenge against her mother. In this she becomes more real, and readers will like that. How does Jake play into this role, we hope permentaly. For Jake, his love is strong, and always goes that extra for her.The story is real, captivating, page turner, full of action, the author has gone beyond giving us another drama filled story. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.
  • What a roller coaster ride!

    Once again Toby Neal has written a winner! I loved this book so much and hated for it to end! The characters we all love (and some we hate), make appearances in this book and omg the story just grabs you and won’t let go! There are surprises that some may not have seen coming! There is so much that happens in this book that I just can’t stop thinking about it. This is one book you won’t want to miss out on! If you love a good love triangle and if you love twists and turns in a book and action and suspense, this is the book for you!
  • Toby Neal has done it again!

    Wow! Sophie is back, and I really enjoyed following her again as she navigates her world of relationships. Who will win her - Alika, Connor, or Jake? What will we learn about the enigma that is Pim Wat? Can Dr. Wilson help her with the many dilemmas she faces? Surprises abound in this must read continuation of the Wired series. It really should be picked up as a film script…it’s that good!
