5.0 out of 5 stars
A good suspensful book with well researhed Hawaiin history,
By Joan Banks (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Take My Breath Away (Hardcover)
The ancient Hawaiian culture has always held an air of mystique. The language, not readily understandable by the rest of the world, even has a touch of the unknown. Couple these with a warm tropical paradise and you have the perfect setting for suspense.When Kate McKenna, the daughter of a native Hawaiian mother, visits the island of Maui in search of her heritage, a chance meeting with a mysterious stranger piques her curiosity. The stranger, Dan Kala, is disconcerted with the near-identical resemblance of Kate to a long-dead Princess of Hawaiian Royalty.Beginning with a missing roll of film, unexplainable events begin to occur which seem to have roots in a curse out of the past. When Kate begins to doubt her own sanity she wonders if Dan holds the answers, or is he on a search for his own reasons? TAKE MY BREATH AWAY is a good, suspenseful read that kept me turning the pages.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Only for fans of Hawaian ghost stories.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Take My Breath Away (Hardcover)
Unless you are already interested in Hawaian history and mythology, this book is likely to be somewhat disappointing. The relationships did not really make sense, and the hero is boring, with incomprehensible motivation. As for the supernatural part, it did not really integrate with the rest of the plot in my view

What a fun read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Take My Breath Away (Hardcover)
Take My Breath Away is the fifth Meg O'Brien book I've read and the author continues to amaze me. Her writing is both intelligently crafted and full of suspense. I loved the way she weaved historical fact throughout a modern plot. The heroine is brave, but in a vulnerable sort of way, making me want to cheer her on every step of the way.
