I've been reading each part of this series faster and faster through all the plot twists and turns, and I just can't get enough. The people of Shade are strange yet alluring, and while Mila seems to be second guessing herself and making some terrible decisions, I just can't look away, even though I'm finding myself constantly yelling at her through the pages. I've said, "don't do that!" at least five times in this installment alone, and I can only imagine it's going to continue and O'Rourke works up to the climax of the series.
O'Rourke always hits the ground running and completely takes me by surprise; in each of the installments so far, he's left readers with a cliffhanger that has made me, personally, dying to read the next installment, and I love how he's able to create suspense and terror in each one of these short novellas. At approximately 70 pages, one would think that the story would grow stale, but such is not the case with the Werewolves of Shade series. I've been on pins and needles as Mila uncovers eerie truth after eerie truth, and while it doesn't all make sense yet, I know it eventually will... though I'm seriously beginning to wonder if any of what Mila's uncovered is real, or if she's just imagining it all, like Calix and Rush keep asserting.
I feel I have a good handle on who, or what, the people of Shade are, but there are so many different directions this series is going that I'm just not sure anymore. On to part 5.

I love Werewolves of Shade. Each month I look forward to the next part. Mila Watson the main character is great and I love all the strange villagers (My favourite is the butcher, with his blood-stained apron)If you haven't started this series then you must - they are great:)

Mystery
Another mystery to uncover! This place in shade is hindering a lot more secrets then I ever imagined. Something shady is going on and I can't wait to embark on the next chapter and see what else shades hiding. What is real? Are not real that is the question

This is another winner for me, and yet more proof that Tim O’Rourke‘s writing is better than ever. To be able to pack a short story with so much emotion, mystery and horror, as well as to keep the reader informed of the plotline is amazing, and Werewolves of Shade has it all. In the latest instalment the horror is built up tremendously, the excitement is terrific, and the intensity is dark and profound.
One of the most surprising turn-ups is Clarabel, the twin sister of the recently deceased Annabel. Being the new teacher in the village, Mila is aware that Clarabel hasn’t attended school and she has never seen in her in the village before. After being given the reason that Clarabel has been absent due to illness, Mila’s suspicions still run high as it still doesn’t explain that there are ten seats in the class when surely there should be eleven?
Nobody had mentioned Clarabel before. Her intimate talk with Rush the previous evening doesn’t quite make sense now. He knew she was upset about Annabel’s death, they’d talked about it at length. Yet Clarabel was never mentioned! He’d also previously told her that the last school teacher had been some old woman, and yet now a younger Julia Miller has been mentioned. But why would Rush have lied to her?
Not only that but Mila is also left questioning her thoughts after a terrifying experience with the wolf who stands outside her cottage. She wakes the next morning unable to remember certain events, and so surely it must have been a dream? However, some evidence suggests that the ordeal was as real as it felt! Did she really see the wolf change shape? How did her nightie get torn to shreds? And, where did those scratches that make the full length of her back come from?
There are more twists to come as Mila tries to figure out if Rush has lied to her, and if so, why? Can she really trust gravedigger, Augustus Morten? And Calix – is he really as grotesque and annoying as he seems?
This whole instalment kept me gripped and on my toes, with some terrific scenes of horror, some scenes heightening in the heat level, and plenty of mystery as always with O’Rourke. That said, the biggest dread of all for Tim’s readers is the wait until the next instalment (due May 16th 2015)!

Yet another fab instalment in this series.
I always said I couldn't ever read a serial book like this, but I'm really enjoying it. Every instalment seems to bring more mystery than the last and the suspense is building.
I still have my suspicions about certain people, and the further through Mila's story I get the more I think I might just be right. I cant wait to sink my teeth into the next instalment.

The story continues for Mila, as she continues to look for the truth about the village of shade. Is she getting closer to finding out the truth about these people? Who and what are they? With another huge cliff hanger, I m sure she is getting close to finding out but who will tell her the truth? Another great read.

Love this new series, great characters and really enjoying the way these short books keep you guessing to the very end. When you get to the end and your still trying to figure what the hell is going on you are hit with an OMG cliff hanger every time. Keep them coming Tim :)

Wow just wow. Another phenomenal book. This serial just intensifies with each part. This is where it is starting to get down to the nitty gritty! Just about the time you let out a gasp of suprise, Tim ends the episode!

4 and a half. Tim has captured the spooky aspect if circumstances very well. A gripping read and not predictable.
