This final installment of the Werewolves of Shade completes the Beautiful Immortals Series One, but it's not technically the end of the story. It does answer many questions, but also leave readers with a jarring cliffhanger, one that they might have figured out through context clues given in parts 1-6 (I didn't, though), but I guarantee there are still questions. And since there's so much more of the story to tell, O'Rourke has thankfully begun work on the next series, Beautiful Immortals Series Two, which is aptly titled Vampires of Maze, again written in serial parts just like Werewolves of Shade. Part one is slated to release on September 8, 2015.
And I can't wait!
O'Rourke's Werewolves of Shade has been an amazing ride, and while I did figure out a few of the plot twists, O'Rourke kept them coming, and the revelation at the end nicely tied together a ton of my questions that arose in parts 4 and 5, but as I already said, there is so much more to tell; so much more I need to know.
Overall, the characters in this series are very well written. While some are more of a static character, like Rush, Mila has definitely flourished. She's been at war within herself over the duration of the serial, and she's really matured and come into herself. She extremely real, as is Calix, and I'm excited to note that one of the characters from Part 1, Flint, makes another appearance in this portion, which ties together a few loose ties concerning romance while also throwing some wrenches into the entire story. Full of suspense, horror, mystery, and intrigue, this is a series that you simply must read; fall in love with Mila, Rush, Calix, and Flint. Come on, September 8! I need more!
Another great instalment from Werewolves of Shade. Full of tense, creepy moments and what an ending!!! Love these books - love the characters, especially Mila and Calix:)x
Great series great storylines and wonderful characters easy reading what more could you ask for a book well I would have been happier if it was only two book bundle instead of six novellas and not only that you're left on a cliff hanger how much is it going to cost for next series but thank you for the hours of enjoyment blessed be 🙏
Picking up from where we left off in Werewolves of Shade (part 5), Mila is faced with walking straight into vampires that are now in Shade. With Calix, Rush, Rea and Trent by her side, Mila has to pluck up the courage and move swiftly in fighting off the vampires if she is to live and help protect her new friends. This is all quite a shock to Mila who was told that a witch had ended the war between the werewolves and vampires. Now, it appears that not everything was quite what she thought.
There is also a slight niggle in Mila’s thoughts that she may not be being loyal to the right people. After managing to shoot at a vampire she begins to question who she should be helping. But Calix, Rush, Rea and Trent have never done anything to make her feel that she shouldn’t help them. After all, they gave her somewhere to live, a job and helped in protecting her and defending herself. Maybe staying in Maze would have been the safest option, but she was so desperate to find out what had happened to her parents, and was happy to prove her independence and being able to think for herself by going to Shade.
In the heat of the action, shouts and gunfire, Mila is taken by a vampire and tied to a wooden, pole where she believes she will be burned alive. After banging her head, she drifts in and out of consciousness, and therefore, initially, not fully alert to the danger that she is in. The reader really feels fearful for Mila as a way out doesn’t seem possible.
“Was I now going to be ripped to shreds…? Would Calix and the others later find me dead – with my throat torn out and drained of all my blood?”
During her time tied up, we have a flashback of when Mila was back in Maze, when her uncle used to be away from home for a few days, and she would spend time as a young teenager with her boyfriend, Flint. These moments highlight the relationship she had with both Flint and her uncle, and how life has changed for her recently. She knows for sure that although she cared for Flint, he is not the one she is in love with. And, regarding her uncle, she cannot be certain why he didn’t tell the truth about the Beautiful Immortals. Did he know himself? Surely he must?
The writing is absolutely flawless as the reader is gripped with every moment that passes. The action, adventure, mystery and some brutal moments make it a very striking read that you will not forget in a hurry. But, as well as that, the reader also experiences every emotion there is when reading any O’Rourke story. The thrills and fear kick in, not to mention the rage that overcomes Mila during the gunfight at the beginning. There is also a comment from Calix that made me laugh that I’ll leave you to find!
This final instalment of the Beautiful Immortals series 1 holds many revelations as a great deal comes to light. Some I was half expecting but then others were a complete surprise, with a fantastic twist at the end. It is a brilliant end to the series as Tim O’Rourke loves to gobsmack his readers and leave them waiting for more…
A copy of Werewolves of Shade (Part 6) (Beautiful Immortals series 1) was provided by the author in return for an honest and fair review.
We return to Shade as Mila and the gang go all guns blazing into a fight with the vampires. We are kept on the edge of our seats as the battle progresses and the vampires grab themselves a victim.....
The biggest thing ive been asking myself throughout this series is how many more questions without answers can Shade keep giving us......Well the answer is a hell of a lot more. However, as the story develops, the mysteries start to unravel and we finally get the answers we've been craving for......
But. I SO did not expect THEM answers!!!
Werewolves Of Shade is a fabulously written series and the Author Tim O'Rourke has an amazing knack of keeping us guessing with his nail biting cliff hangers.
WOW! That ending! Who saw that coming? I didn't... well bits of it I did... but then if you didn't figure out that I guess you weren't paying attention to the title of the books ;-) Hats of to O'Rourke whoo manages to cram so much into such a short instalment, im never left feeling like it wasnt long enough, though i am always left wanting more. I've loved listening to the Werewolves of Shade series, I cant wait to sink my teeth into the completed book and see if I missed any bits. And I definitely cant wait to read Beautiful Immortals series 2 Vampires of Maze...
We join Mila and her friends in the fight where book 5 left off, Milas first killing experience the only problem she has is she keeps daydreaming.
