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-a$$ author author! Thanks Tim!!Flashes begins with heartache for a seventeen year old girl named Charlie. Unimaginable pain consumes her. But she doesn't have much time to recover because the flashes take over. She has nobody to turn to and her father believes her to be delusional. Charlie feels people think of her as a freak because of the flashes she experiences. It is such a burden for her to bare and physically painful. She  comes to a point where she either continues to deny her gift or embrace it. She has an unbearable urge to prove that her flashes are real to her father and a new handsome detective (yumm) who comes into town named  Tom.Once again, as always, I full-heartedly  loved this story!! Tim O'Rourke is in a league of his own. Flashes was written so well that I felt I was an invisible bystander. I felt horrible for what Charlie has to endure when here flashes occur. The gruesomeness that she has to live through and witness were hard to get through because it is so painful. I enjoyed reading about Tom and having a sneak peak into a detective's life on the job. Even though, I wanted to punch one of his obnoxious coworkers in the nose! He is such an a$$!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 ar$e over tit again." - TomHaha..ar$e over tit. Love it!
