It’s been a while since we visited Barking Beach and this second novel continues the same level of brilliant writing and characterisation as we saw in Flash Rip, the first in the series.
In Free Wind, we are introduced again to Damo who we first saw in Flash Rip, a full time lifeguard who could be described as the quintessential surfer boy/golden retriever, who at first glance has no problems, but we soon discover his home life isn’t that sweet and laidback after all.
We are also introduced to Blake (“The Bloke”), a volunteer lifeguard who harbours a crush on Damo and is soon persuaded by his friend Kat to make a move; after all what could go wrong apart from a no?
There is no no in fact- soon enough Blake and Damo form a relationship with all that entails including the highs and lows; there’s a few reveals that you won’t see coming but they feel natural and not too crazy.
As an author, Keira Andrews had done research which shows because I had to confirm that she wasn’t Australian- she nails the dialect an local lingo fantastically- and frankly better then some Australian authors!
