Murder of the Hula Dancers is the third book in the popular Leila Kahana series of Maui mystery and suspense novels, following Murder in Maui and Murder on Kaanapali Beach, by bestselling crime writer R. Barri Flowers. 

Maui County homicide detective and composite sketch artist Leila Kahana and her partner Detective Jonny Chung investigate the murders of beautiful hula dancers by a serial killer dubbed the "Hula Killer." Each victim was stabbed to death. As they chase leads and suspects, Leila starts to believe that Chung might be a dirty cop. But should she act on her suspicions and report it to her boss Lieutenant Blake Seymour? 

In the meantime, Leila is in the midst of a new relationship with handsome restaurateur Maxwell Kishimoto. When he asks her to marry him, she's conflicted due to her conservative upbringing, career, and independence. 

Also in the Homicide Unit, Detectives Trent Ferguson and Rachel Lancaster investigate the murder of a woman whose charred corpse was found in a vehicle along a deserted road. Could solving one case help solve the other? Or be an impediment? 

As the Hula Killer continues to evade capture with the body count rising, Leila volunteers to go undercover as a hula dancer to try and flush out the murderer. But is the cunning killer one step ahead of them? Is Leila putting her life at risk to become another one of his victims? 

Fans of the first two books in the Leila Kahana series of mysteries will find Murder of the Hula Dancers the perfect follow up and prelude to future books in the series. Aloha!

Crack Black [BxB] by K_M_Victor
39 parts Ongoing
Crack Black In the gritty alleys of a nameless city, fate throws together two boys from opposing worlds. Black, a hardened thug with a reputation to uphold, crosses paths with Tony, a rebellious "schoolboy" caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. When Black saves Tony from a brutal attack by street kids, an unlikely bond is forged. But this is no ordinary friendship. Beneath the bravado and casual insults, feelings begin to stir-confusing, forbidden, and unspoken. Neither is ready to risk everything by crossing the line, afraid of what the other might think, afraid of shattering the fragile connection they've built. As life throws them into chaos, loyalties will be tested, truths will surface, and emotions will rise like smoke in the night. Will Black's tough exterior crack, or will his need to protect his pride and masculinity keep him from something real? And what about Tony-will he break through the walls around Black's heart, or lose himself trying? In a world where love is dangerous and vulnerability is weakness, some bonds might be too risky to hold. Or maybe, they're the only ones worth fighting for. Most impressive rankings: #1 in Dangerous - Feb. 14, 2025.

"S-Sister... They say a monster has appeared. Are you going to leave me alone?" "Sister, what on earth are you looking for?" "I want to stay next to you." "Sister!" The final boss, who approached me pretending to be a child, never thinks of falling from me. [Holloway opens the door to check if you're there.] [Holloway breathes a sigh of relief after confirming that the 'comedian' is in good hands.] Evelin's eyebrows twitched as the system windows appeared one after another. "...Is he crazy?" Who is the comedian? Evelin thought she was raising Holloway that well. And she soon realizes that it was arrogance. "If you want, I'll even lick your feet." So don't get out of here, Evelin. Holloway kissed Evelin's knee. The eyes toward Evelin were filled with mad obsession. The one who was raised, was herself. (Not my story!!!! )
