Flashes! That's what I call them. I'm Charley Shepard, the girl who can see things, the seventeen-year-old with an overactive imagination, the freak who can see lights like a thousand photographers crammed inside her head snapping away all at once!

I have been waiting a long-ass time for this book/series to come out, now that it's here, I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. Not that I really expected to be, I ...more

Tim seriously! How can end a book like that! Talk about leaving you hanging. So after reading the Keira Hudson prequels I already felt as if I knew Tom, (he s still living of McDonald's I see!). He's finished his police training and just been posted with CID, investigating an incident when he meets charley. Charley sees things through 'Flashes' another brilliant book by Tim. ...more

5- Masterfully Written- Stars

I have waited at least a year, maybe two, for Flashes to be published. I, as well as Tim's other fans, shared the joy with him when he signed with the major publishing company, Chicken House. To say thanks for having such dedicated fans, Tim acknowledged us in Flashes.That's 3 pages of fans that he included. Tim is such a kind and kick-ass author author! Thanks Tim!!

Flashes begins with heartache for a seventeen year old girl named Charlie. Unimaginable pain consumes her. But she doesn't have much time to recover because the flashes take over. She has nobody to turn to and her father believes her to be delusional. Charlie feels people think of her as a freak because of the flashes she experiences. It is such a burden for her to bare and physically painful. She comes to a point where she either continues to deny her gift or embrace it. She has an unbearable urge to prove that her flashes are real to her father and a new handsome detective (yumm) who comes into town named Tom.

Once again, as always, I full-heartedly loved this story!! Tim O'Rourke is in a league of his own. Flashes was written so well that I felt I was an invisible bystander. I felt horrible for what Charlie has to endure when here flashes occur. The gruesomeness that she has to live through and witness were hard to get through because it is so painful. I enjoyed reading about Tom and having a sneak peak into a detective's life on the job. Even though, I wanted to punch one of his obnoxious coworkers in the nose! He is such an ass!

Is there anything I would change about this e-book? Umm...yeah! THAT IT ENDED!! Flashes ended on the hugest cliffhanger! It was the king of all cliffhangers! It sat there on top of that damn cliff mocking me! Urging me to throw my I pad against the wall. Luckily King Cliffhanger didn't win. I have some self control and I remembered that 'Flashes: Part 2 Tom's Story' will be out in May. Not long now, yippee! Until we meet again King Cliffhanger!!

My favorite line out of Flashes:
" This time I held onto any branch, shrub, or piece of railway furniture that I could find to stop myself falling arse over tit again." - Tom

Haha..arse over tit. Love it! ...more
