Wenn zwei Gegner wieder zusammengeschoben werden!

»… Die meisten von ihnen sitzen einfach nur herum, als ob sie auf jemanden warten würden, der ihnen bei ihrer bevorstehenden Reise Gesellschaft leistet. Andere laufen im Eiltempo zu ihrem Zug, als wären sie für irgendeine wichtige Besprechung spät dran. Sie können es gar nicht abwarten, einen dieser unterirdischen Züge zu besteigen. Als ich diesen Ort entdeckt habe, habe ich eine Ewigkeit hier gesessen und die Toten dabei beobachtet, wie sie hin und her liefen, sich am Fahrkartenschalter anstellten und sich an den Automaten etwas zu trinken holten. Wie an jedem neuen Ort, den man besucht, wie zum Beispiel der erste Tag an einer neuen Schule oder in einem neuen Job, findet man schnell heraus, wie alles funktioniert. Ich wusste, dass ich tot war …«

Friggin Hell, Tim O'Rourke is KILLING ME with these books!
Seriously, I'm skating the edge of completely mental at this point....oh, but what a way to go!!

***contains spoilers from previous books***

I'm not gonna lie, after the execution of Potter at the end of 'Dead Water' I was more than a little anxious going into this, there is only so much my poor little shriveled heart can take. This book starts off prior to that very public, very heartbreaking turn of events. Being back in Potter's head after mourning his loss was thrilling, hilarious & devastating all at the same time. I'm admittedly a little emotionally strung out, so my review may be a but jumpy-sorry. I was surprised with how much I enjoyed Potter and Jack Seth's interactions with each other. It was very reminiscent of Murphy, but much more violent Lol

With my eyes fixed on Potter, I headed straight for him. Curling my bony fingers into a fist, I punched him squarely in the face. There was a cracking sound as my fist crunched into the flat of his nose and he shot back down the corridor, landing on the floor.
"What the fuck was that for?"
"It made me feel better"
"No wonder my fucking nose looks the way it does. What, with Murphy's driving and people queuing up to take pot-shots at me the whole fucking time..."
"Maybe you shouldn't be such a prick, and perhaps people wouldn't feel the need to slap you so much."
"Who are you calling a prick...?"


This book reminded me a little of Harry Potter & the prisoner of Azkaban (think Hermione's time-turner, that's all I'm saying). Lots of action and plenty of mystery but most of all were the chills I've come to expect. The scariest part of these books is the huge amount of unknowns, especially with the characters. You really can't trust anyone or anything, as soon as you do it bites you in the ass and that is what keeps me in suspense the most. As soon as you think you have something figured out, you're proved wrong in the worst possible way. We also get to venture back into Jack Seth's head here and that whole experience caught me off-guard. Besides finding him surprisingly quite funny at times, disturbing at others, it becomes quite clear something has changed with him since being holed up with Kiera and re-living his story. He was trying to break her by revealing their true relationship and the secrets of her past, but I think maybe she got to him instead.

Who was I trying to kid? I'd forgotten how to be good a whole lifetime ago. Being good didn't come easy to me. I struggled with that.

With so many surprising twists this series will do your head in, this installment was no exception. I think I actually tried to reach into my Kindle at one point to unmask the damn photographer myself - I NEEDED TO KNOW WHO IT WAS!! And again with the friggin cliffhanger - you're gutting me O'Rourke!! I'm desperate for the next book but dreading it too because I absolutely do not want this series to end, I cannot say good-bye, we've been through sooo much with these people, can you see my struggles? Are they clear enough?? See....MENTAL! I cannot say this enough -if you haven't started this series yet, why the hell not?!?? Stop reading this review, go get 'Vampire Shift' and get started on this incredible journey. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

Kiera was like one of those fucking kids' toys -a Weeble- it didn't matter how many times you pushed her over -she always got up again.

Oh my word - can this man do no wrong? :-) Tim O'Rourke has done a whopper of a job with Dead Push, the eagerly awaited book 7 in the Kiera Hudson series 2. The book gives us more insight into series 2 and the 'pushed' world. loved the side of jack and the development of the characters. Thoroughly enjoyed this little gem! I'd rate it 10 stars if allowed. :-)

To see my full review:

http://bookvacations.wordpress.com/20...

Tim O’Rourke’s pushed world in the Kiera Hudson Series Two novels just got even cooler with the revelation that turning back time is possible. Similar to the concept of Hermoine Granger’s Time-Turner in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the characters in O’Rourke’s novel discover that, in this pushed world, they can turn back time and review events, a task Potter and Jack Seth must complete in order to help push the world back into its right alignment.

Think about it. How cool would it be to turn back time and witness events as they happen as an outsider? I’d love that, though the pull of wanting to change events and to interfere would be unbearable, as Potter and Jack Seth soon find out. Together, these two enemies must overcome their hatred for one another in order to save a common love: Kiera.

This time, readers get to see both sides of the story, viewing the events leading up to Isidor, Melody, and Kiera’s deaths in the pushed world, and new information has come to light; information that will floor you. As always, O’Rourke surprised me at every turn, and as events came to their climax, I was bowled over by the revelations thrown at me concerning Kiera, Isidor, and Jack Seth.

Jack Seth’s inner monologue is absolutely hilarious in this novel. As he works through his sinister feelings, leaping into the past and watching for the photographer, his musings about Isidor and Melody Rose had me snickering to myself as I read. His pet names and thoughts about their actions were quite funny, especially as readers of this series have heard this story before, from a much more serious standpoint in Dead Angels. However, seeing it through an observer’s eyes, obtaining both sides of the picture added a new twist to the story and it is beautifully done, especially as it forces Jack Seth to take a long hard look at his inner soul. And what he finds and chooses to do will surprise you.

Potter, ever the snarky mouth-off, finds himself leaping into the past to watch for the photographer at Kiera’s house, however, he soon finds himself battling against his feelings for Kiera—not his Kiera, might I add, but the pushed version; the version destined to die in a robbery shootout. Potter’s thoughts and feelings, and ultimately his actions reveal much about himself and the pushed world, and it is through him that we learn even more concerning the Wolf Man and his seemingly “all-knowing” intentions.

So much is revealed in this novel about the pushed world, the elders, and even the wolves—it’s an intense read told from alternating perspectives of Potter and Jack Seth, and I absolutely adored it. Of course, there is a major cliffhanger at the end, but, with Tim O’Rourke’s writing expertise, it won’t be long before we have the next installment, Dead Lost.

There is a reason why I was hook line and sinker after reading Black Hill Farm,by Tim O'Rourke , back in 2011. I will drop any book I am reading at the moment to read any of Tim's books. He has such a unique and mysterious writing style that I have never read before. Time and time again Tim takes me away from my daily life and sends me off on adventures that make my head spin, scare the crap out of me, make my stomach turn,make me laugh,cry, relate to the characters, and most of all leave me guessing. He really makes my brain work over time and I love every moment of it. With that being said, Dead Push was no different. I don't want to give too much away, so I will explain how the book made me feel. In the beginning I felt elated,surprised,proud,and sad ( in that order). As the story moved along, I was once again surprised and very impressed with Tim's imagination. I was also extremely excited because I have missed a character very much and I knew they were going to make an appearance once again. At this point the story goes from past to present - in a way- from a different point of view which was bittersweet. Now let me talk about Jack Seth.This creature is the worst of the worst of monsters. Up until Dead Seth, I wanted the guy dead,just like the title, but that book left me with a better understanding of why he turned so evil.It made me extremely heartbroken with what he went though. Then we move on to Dead Water, once again, I hated the guy! Then we have Dead Push...I can not tell you how many times I hated and liked this man in this book! I probably have whiplash. Lol. I guess you can say I am now relieved with how things turned out with him and more I'm on the like side.Yes, there is a major cliffhanger, but Tim is notorious for them. Lol. It just makes me all the more giddy to read Dead Lost and to continue to try to think the way Tim thinks to figure out the answers I need. Which is an impossible task because the man is a story-puzzling genius! Oh yeah..this book -in my opinion - has the funniest content of all of his books!

Worth the wait. Can see why the author wanted to wait before publishing. From the pov of Potter and Jack Seth adventures abound with some questions answered only for more to become apparent with the ending that you don't wont to come. Now need the next book (Dead Lost) to be written - oh well just have to let my imagination run riot until then - Congratulations Tim on another excellent book and to the many more no doubt coming our way.

As with all of Tims much anticipated books they're over way too soon, as we gorge on every morsel taking in every detail trying to figure out the next piece of the puzzle.

It starts from where last time around we learn the fate of Potter but is all as it seems?
This time around its in the point of view of Potter and Seth as they are sent on a journey to try and unravel the identity of the photographer.
Seth is sent to watch Isi-bore as he calls him, I just love Seth, I never realised how funny he can be and at other times so twisted.

Favourite Seth quote "To be honest, the pair were so fucking loved-up with each other, I could've walked beside them singing the 'Hokey Cokey' and neither of them would've noticed I was even there"

Potter is sent to watch Kiera, but not his Kiera and has such a hard time differentiating between the two, and discovers way more than he bargained for.

"Two whens and wheres and nothing has changed very much. I still had the knack of making Kiera Hudson mad at me"

I was so happy to see a certain someone at the end. Does Seth really have a good side???

Can both Seth and Potter accomplish their mission or will they get distracted and fail, only time will tell as we await the next instalment in this fantastic series.

Braine's Talk Supe review

Now I have to be honest, at first I didn't feel excited about this because I feel like is just "killing time" instead of sticking with the essentials and working on the ending. But as DEAD PUSH unfold, I realize why this novel is important. Potter and Seth's objective was to find the Photographer and since they failed to do that there's no real resolution here. They did manage to discover a lot of things, especially with regards to those blasted Elders, but aside from that, DEAD PUSH was really about character self-checks for both Potter and Seth. We can expect Potter to make amends for Kiera, Seth on the other had is a wild card. Who knows what he's going to do next.

DEAD PUSH may have veered off a little bit from the main plot of the series but I think it changed the game in some ways. How? We'll find out in Dead Lost coming soon.

Another outstanding book in the Kiera Hudson series. The thing with Tim's characters are that they are all so believable and all equally well constructed. So many twists and turns.Read in one weekend again and now have to wait for the next one at least there are 2 more and then the promise of another series.

I love this series! I found myself so engrossed in the characters and all of the twists and turns in the plot, just when I thought I had it figured out, there would be a new twist on the whole story. I loved the way it kept me on the edge of my seat from the very beginning.I have read both of the Kiera Hudson series and can't wait for the third series to begin.

Thank god, Potter lives again as I would have been seriously depressed if he had stayed dead. Tim never fails to surprise, confuse, taunt and mislead me - kind of like a magician as it's all smoke and mirrors though the real substance is subtle and hidden beneath the many layers of this story. Dead Push was quite different to many of the other books in this series, loose ends were nicely tied up regarding the past though I wanted to find out who the damn photographer was as it was driving me crazy. It was quite funny at times to read Potter and Jack's interactions, talk about grumpy old men and their snarky repartee with a touch of violence as only they can excel at. Reading from Jack's POV was interesting to say the least and this insight into his mind was quite frightening at times. Weirdly enough I could understand how circumstances and his poor choices led him down his current path yet even he tried his hand at redemption for Kiera's benefit. With the two Worlds colliding and so many secrets being revealed plus another huge cliff hanger, I am sure the best is yet to come.

First I didn't feel excited about this book because I feel like it's just killing time instead of working on the ending.
But I realize maybe I was wrong.

I still think it was a little killing time, sorry, but I also know that it was important too tell this side of the story.
But most of it I knew already, and that's what I disliked a little (just a little).

I really hate Jack Seth.
What he did I could never ever forgive.

I missed, Kayla, and somehow also Kiera very much.

I thought there is too much ' gore horror ' in the last 2 books.
Too much heads coming of, too much throats ripping out, just a little less would be nicer thank you.

But I'm still a fan and always will be, no matter what.

The ending was overwhelming again.
I hope we don't have to wait too long for the last 2 books.

Wow! I waited on this for months. I can breath easier now. Tim kind of had me going berserk, what with the way the last book ended. Although, I was a little sympathetic towards Jack a few books back, it's still hard for me to like him. Him and Potter working together is something I didn't see coming.

No spoilers, but if you've been following this series, then this book is no exception. It's a must read! By the end you will be crawling out of your skin because you think you've figured it out. One thing I've learned in the last year reading these books, you cannot predict what Tim will put in this story. He's just that brilliant! I wanted to take his head off after the last book! Seriously!

I love the series so much and it's characters. I can't wait until the next one to see if I'm right about my theory. Another great book from an amazing author!

Loved it!! The big question is, who is hiding behind that hoodie?!! I have no idea, but all these thoughts are running around inside my head!! I was pretty surprised when Jack Seth gave his life to save Isidor. He felt Isidor was more worthy of a life. In the end, he ended up being where he wanted to be, with his brother. I just don't know what that means for Jack or Isidor but can't wait to find out!! I want to see Isidor reunite with the group :).

My only frustration with this book was that I now have to wait for the next book. I found it a very enjoyable read and how the story helped to redeem "Potter" and "Jack Seth's" characters. I look forward to future book and always wished the books did not end so quickly!
