Moolelo Hawaii by Kingdom Historian David Malo: http://www.ahamoku.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Malo-David-Hawaiian_Antiquities-Moolelo-Hawaii-translated-by-N-B-Emerson-Honolulu-Hawaiian-Gazette-Co-Ltd-1903.pdf

Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii by Kingdom Historian Samuel Kamakau, which has lore from pre-Cook: http://ulukau.org/elib/cgi-bin/library?c=chiefs&l=en

Great book on the post-Cook era, which covers the annexation part: https://www.amazon.com/Captive-Paradise-James-L-Haley/dp/1250070392

There is only lore and archaeological evidence before Cook. If you're looking for solid history, there isn't any, but the first two links are the first two Hawaiians to record written history and included lore. You can also find accounts from visitors from the late 18th century and early 19th century; most of that is free on Google Books.

Be careful of the modern stuff, some of it isn't accurate and has a strong bias since the topic is politicized these days. Some of it is written down oral history, which still has all the inherent accuracy problems with oral history. Good reviews doesn't necessarily mean historically accurate.

Shoal of Time is another one people recommend.
