"She was beside me all the time, holding my hand as we both sank inside the mellow sweetness of nicotine oblivion."

With one year remaining of sixth-form a tragedy strikes the heart of a close-knit group of teenagers. As political forces threaten to claim and overrun their town, two girls fall hopelessly in love. But neither is aware how fraught with danger and peril their love will become.

In this searing portrait of a community on the brink, Sandi Burrill and the Beach of Flames eloquently explores the desperation of teenage love trapped by a forbidding and uncontrollable environment.

I thought this was a good book. The narrator did great speaking voices but could work on her reading voice a little. It was a little hard to follow her accent at times too but I enjoyed how realistic it was and I love accents!
I was given this book for an honest review.

I enjoyed it.

The final school year brings intrigue, love, lust, angst and clarity to the teenagers as the outside world becomes a greater part of their lives. In another wonderfully crafted and executed novel the author treats us to those tumulus teenage emotions through the eyes of her characters. The dialogue and inner voices are natural and expertly narrated to the listener. There's even a dramatic twist at the end of the tale, enjoy.

A Dramatic Conclusion

The book was well written, although some parts seemed overly long. I have to say it is not my cup of tea, there being far too much teenage angst and fumblings for my liking but I am sure it will be popular amongst the older teenagers. All the growing pains of youth rather overshadowed the very promising plot which only really came to the front near the end when my attention was really captured. It did however leave me wanting to know what happened next, and also I think I might have got more out of the story had I read books 1-3 first and become familiar with the richly painted characters. However I did love the young girl who narrated the book. She had a few strange pronunciations in there but a lovely sing-song voice which carried the book along well.

Well suited to older teenagers

The story is always 4 or 5 stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

as good as the ebook
