The story just keeps getting better and better as the plot thickens. Every time I think that I know what's happening, or who these characters really are, O'Rourke throws another wrench into the story, and I find myself derailed yet again. Truthfully, this is part of the allure of O'Rourke's books for me--I love that he always keeps me guessing.
As I previously mentioned in my review of Part 2 of this series, Calix is indeed very much like Potter from the Kiera Hudson Series. The similarities continue to abound, and I find myself falling in love with his cocky mannerisms, especially when it comes to Mila and his interactions. Do I trust him? Not as far as I can throw him, but as I get to know him, I'm really enjoying the banter and his overall self-importance.
Of course, the already eerie series is beginning to take on a more gruesome feel as there is a death of a minor character, yet it's jarring all the same, especially when the reader gets to the cliffhanger and realizes that not everything, or every DEATH, it what it seems... I got chills as I read the final paragraph, and I am so excited to start part four right now. This is just too good to put down.

Wonderful
I love mystery books. Usually I can figure out what is going on but this story is very difficult to figure out and it is leaving me on the edge of my seat.

The story is nicely sustained and at times very creepy. There is no way at this stage you can leave it hanging. You have to read the next book. Tim is a truly talented writer

This short story series is getting darker! Despite there being so much adventure, there is always a great deal of mystery in Tim’s books, and part 3 of Werewolves of Shade is no exception! Thus far, Mila has left her uncle and best friend/boyfriend in the village of Maze, seeking her parents or what has become of them in the village of Shade. After hearing stories of the beautiful immortals, finding out about the war between the vamps and the wolves, and then hearing a possible myth that a witch ended it all, Mila has come to seek the truth. Believing Shade to be deserted she soon finds out otherwise and meets with Calix, Rea and Rush. This is a MUST-READ series for fans of paranormal, mystery, romance and even horror!
Assigned to replace the former village teacher, Mila has to meet the village children at the school. But she first needs to tackle the dark, mysterious alley where we left her at the end of Werewolves of Shade (Part 2). Not only does it feel claustrophobic and menacing, it seems to almost move and reach out to her – it actually put me in the mind-set of the never-ending alleyway in the film, The Labyrinth, albeit more menacing and terrifying! And just who is it who keeps calling her name? Surely it can’t be all in her head?!
Before she realises it, and not being able to explain how, she ends up on the other side where she meets with a most mysterious man in Augustus Morten. Although appearing to be friendly and kind towards Mila, the reader can’t help but be suspicious of him. As he walks Mila to the school it becomes apparent that he has spoken with Rea and knows a little about Mila. Is he talking to Mila to discover any holes in her story, or is he merely trying to be a friend? Finding out Augustus had been assigned as the village gravedigger made his character to be even more eerie.
The children of Shade seem fairly quiet as Mila begins to learn their names. Although speaking English she is surprised to realise their exercise books are all written in another language she has never seen before. And after, asking some questions, she realises that the children are not as open as she hoped. The story takes a turn when one child tries to answer Mila and is quietened by another. This begins to raise even more suspicion of the people of Shade with both Mila and the reader.
There is certainly more horror and gore in this instalment, following an unfortunate twist of events. But what will Mila make of it all? Is she partly to blame, and even if not, being the new stranger to the village raises suspicion and doubt of her. She is certainly going to have to gain the trust of people there.
Whilst Calix is still quite mean and sharp towards Mila, she can stand up to him. He gets under her skin and irritates her so much. Not forgetting the times when he seems a little full on and gets carried away with Mila, making for some very creepy and cringe-worthy moments! However, I can’t say that I completely dislike him, although a part of me tells me I should. There are times when I feel that his character may open up more and you could change your mind about him.
The one comfort in Shade that Mila has is Rush. He manages to subdue Calix a little and calm the situation, and make sure Mila is alright. They become increasingly close and open up to each other more. There are clearly feelings towards each other, but what of Flint, Mila’s boyfriend and best friend in Maze? Does she really love Flint or are they just friends? Is there really anything happening between Mila and Rush?
Part 3 is another fast-paced adventure with Mila getting deeper and deeper into her life in Shade. With a house, a job and a closeness to Rush, I do ask myself ‘will she ever be able to leave’? If so, how? And what will be her reason for leaving? But before we reach these answers, the biggest questions of all is ‘will she seek what she came to find?’ and ‘will she survive?’
The final twist and cliff hanger in this third instalment of Werewolves of Shade will leave you needing a change of underwear! It is petrifyingly brilliant, psychologically disturbing, just sheer horror that will leave you chilled to the bone!! And to extend the torture, we’ll have to wait until April 4th, 2015 for the next instalment!!!

Not that you learn anything new really. Mila has a lot of self doubt. I kind of think she should just come clean about why she is there, but she does not. There seems to be a little love triangle going on with Rush, Mila and Calix. Roll on book 4.

Oh my god, how can books this short be so intense? This literally had me on the edge of my seat all the way through. I'm pretty certain I know what's going on in Shade, and that cliffhanger, well I saw that one coming (still bloody awesome), but poor Mila is so naive she cant see what's in front of her face.
Mila hasn't been in Shade very long, but already the mystery surrounding the village is increasing is she beginning to learn some of the villages secrets? is she any closer to finding out what happened to her parents? And now that Rush has revealed some of his secrets will she be more honest with him?, and speaking of the holy hotness that is Rush... somebody fan me down.... Where can I get me one of those?
Cant wait for the next instalment in this series.

The books need to be longer as you just get into the story and it is over till the next one is released and always at a part that haunts your sleep. I loved his other series and this one is addictive but I should have waited till they were all released then I would not be so impatient to know the outcome. Tim does dark and disturbing so well and never fails to write a captivating story even if it does keep you up at night.

Oooooh....Mr Tim has done it again....
Mila is getting deeper and deeper into the mysterious Shade. Finding herself torn between wanting to run back to the relative safety of Maze and her uncle, or stay in the increasingly strange and wonderful Shade!!!!
As Tim leaves us on yet another amazing cliffhanger. Are we about to find out how Annabel is back? Or more importantly will Mila choose the sweet, luscious Rush or the sexy hot-headed Calix?
