Sometimes the cover snob in me is wrong.. I can admit 2 things 1.) that I have a problem 2.) I was wrong.. In all honesty the cover almost made me turn this book down.. But im sooo glad that I didnt..Flash is the story of 15 year old Kip.. She has just moved to LA with her Mother, Dew.. So that her mother can make it in the movies. While her mothers head is in the clouds Kip takes the responsibility of raising them both.. Kip is a new journalist she got an incredible eye.. One night she captures a wonder photograph of Alex Milne with just one shot..  And that shot starts off a chain of events..Now I know Alex is older and I may have purposely glazed over his true age.. Because to me he is 21.. I subconsciously decided this.. Anyways Alex asks Kip to do a photo shoot for him and she agrees because she needs the money.. Their friendship develops from this and they bond.. They really seem to help each other in many different ways..My ONE problem with Flash was Kips age I mean 15 really?! She carried herself much older.. Plus I really like Kip and Alex together and obviously that cant happen.. And geez I feel like a pervert! I was really pleased with the fact that Kip didnt show her age once.. sometimes youll read a book with a character who is mature for their age only to totally spaz out and completely just act like a child.. I think you know what I mean..Oh yeah so theres this mysterious murder that takes place DECADES ago involving Alex's family and of course Kip must get to the bottom of this.. But she doesnt well not in this book anyways.. going in I thought this was a standalone book only to find out that it is in fact a series.. I will definitely be picking up the next installment.. Flash did end in a cliffhanger however the first chapter of the second book was THANKFULLY in Flash :DBTW Barbara Morgenroth is DEFINITELY in my list of Authors to Watch!
