Holy cow, guys. I am *so* excited for Kendall Grey's new series. I've devoured everything she's written from her Just Breathe series to Hard Rock Harlots, and I need more. All the more. And now, today, her new book is coming out. HECK YES.
‘Ohana is everything…
When an accident claims her mother’s life,
Keahilani Alana must take charge of her `ohana(family)
or risk losing what little they have. With an underage brother to care for and
no education, she has few options. The door to a heavenly hellish opportunity
opens when she stumbles upon a valuable secret her mother left behind on the
slopes of an extinct volcano—a legacy that tempts the family with riches beyond
their wildest dreams. But the secret is much bigger and more sinister than they
realize. As reality unravels and exposes eerie truths about the ‘ohana that should have remained deep under
the mountain, Keahilani must either resist the call of her blood or risk being
consumed by its darkness.
Blake Murphy is an assassin working to
infiltrate a new Hawaiian cartel. His investigation reveals that Keahilani, the
sexy surfing instructor he pegged as an informant, is much closer to the drug
ring than he thought. Passion ignites between them in the bedroom, but their
ironclad ties to opposing interests pit them against each other everywhere
else.
When tensions reach the breaking point and her ‘ohana is threatened, the only cure for Keahilani’s
hot-blooded fury is a loaded clip with a body bag chaser.
They don’t call her Pele for nothing.

Here are 5 fun facts
about HOT-BLOODED:
1. HOT-BLOODED is a cross
between Point Break, The Sopranos, and Twin Peaks. So, if you like surfing,
gangster-style grit with a side of psychological suspense, this one might be
right up your alley.
2. HOT-BLOODED’s heroine,
Keahilani Alana, is a Hawaiian surfer chick with skeletons (and some other
dark, bump-in-the-night baddies) in her closet. She’s strong-willed,
independent, and more than willing to use force to get her point across.
3. The tagline for
HOT-BLOODED is “‘Ohana is everything,” and boy is it EVER! ‘Ohana means
“family” in Hawaiian, and this book explores the nature of family—good, bad,
and deadly—on many levels.
4. It’s set on the lush
island of Maui where every color of the rainbow rules—and where terrifying
shadows exist in places you least expect them.
5. HOT-BLOODED is loosely
connected to Kendall’s JUST BREATHE urban fantasy series. You don’t have to
have read those books to enjoy this one, but JUST BREATHE readers who do a
little digging may notice some subtle connections. There’s a reason for that.
Stick with the ‘Ohana series to find out more! :-)
Kendall Grey is the
self-appointed past, present, and future president of the Authors Behaving
Badly Club. A whale warrior and indie freedom fighter, she spends summers in
the corner (usually with a dunce cap on her head) and winters hunched at the
peak of Mt. Trouble, fiery pens of fury (complete with invisible ink) flying
across the pages. She has a big set of cajones, and she's not afraid to use
them. In her spare time, Kendall speaks your mind so you don't have to.
