Vampire Shift is an exciting read, it keeps you interested from beginning to end! Tim O'Rourke is a breath of fresh air and his writing is amazing! The characters in the story are well rounded and very developed. The story starts out with Kiera Hudson, a new police recruit, starting her journey ...
This is a strange book in many ways but I also kinds like some of the weird stuff that happens.What I don't like, that she is being followed by a guy on a bike....who uses a bike to chase someone? idk....it just doesn't scream I'm evil watch out for me.If Luke is a good guy...why did he take her...
The continuation of Kiera´s story, and I loved it. I was so eager to progress in the story that I found I was pressing the page turn button on my kindle before I had finished reading the page. I became quite irritated with myself, but goes to show how much I was engrossed in the story.I only occa...
What did I think? Tim O' Rourke’s books in this series just get better and better with each installment. Unpredictable my any means, I can’t say that I have ever predicted anything or any outcome in this series. I enjoy this much so.....Being surprised - non the less at times more than surprised....
I had my suspicions about who was Elias Munn,and it was like I wanted to say to Kiera Hudson through half of the book "Hey! It's -----! Can't you 'see' that?" But it really kept me hooked! And in the end you do find out who he is. The group has to take a little trip down into The Hollows ...
God I'm so happy the gang is all back together ;) I didn't realize how much I've missed them. At first I was worried how this series was gonna go, if it was going to feel like it was being drug out or just repeating itself. I can now say without a doubt I had no reason to be worried. The story h...
I was not expecting to be so moved by this book that I would be left holding tissues.There actually were a lot of surprises in this story and now I'm left wondering..what the heck???I don't know what else to say except these books are awesome.Just when you think you know where the story is going ...
There's a reason that people stopped writing epistolary fiction and other "found" novels after the 1800s. They're awkward. It's not O'Rourke's fault exactly that it pulls me out of a story to think that specific dialogue is not something a kid would remember when he's confessing a crime to a tape...
I took a couple of days to write this review as I wanted to just dwell on it for a bit. Another thought provoking and definitely twisted tale from Tim that perfectly ties up any loose ends from the previous book. Andy's Diary certainly lends more depth to the story and gives us an inside view of ...
Flashes! That’s what I call them. I’m Charley Shepard, the girl who can see things, the seventeen-year-old with an overactive imagination, the freak who can see lights like a thousand photographers crammed inside her head snapping away all at once! With one hand clasped to the side of my head, I ...
The red water suddenly began to violently stir, then erupt as the remaining statues shot out of the water and raced up into the night. Their silhouettes glided over the moon, as they spread their wings. Now that they were free, they whisked through the night, I understood that sense of freedom th...
I heard Isi-bore say. No, people certainly don’t like different, you’ve got that right at least, I thought. I hid amongst the trees, as Melody sat just a few feet away and helped Isi-bore to read. At times I was so bored, I snuck away before I lost ...
I was grateful for the trees that climbed high above on either side of us, as they offered a natural camouflage against any of the Vampyrus that might still be searching for us high above. But all the while I kept heading east, towards the town that Nik had called Wasp Water. When the trees thinn...
With my mouth tasting like road kill and my brown hair sticking out like I’d been dragged through a bush backwards, I climbed the stairs to Marty’s bathroom. After taking a pee, I ran myself a bath. Kicking off my clothes, I strolled into what used to be mine and Marty’s bedroom. His iPod was sit...
Luke said to Murphy as we followed him through the small booking hall and out onto the platform. “Yeah, what did you do to him?” I asked. “Dunno,” Murphy shrugged, re-lighting his pipe. I watched Murphy glance in either direc...
I didn’t want to shed one single tear. He didn’t deserve it, but I couldn’t help but feel the sting of tears in the corners of my eyes as he told me about how his mother had left him alone in that café. To hear his story reminded me he had been a child once. He hadn’t always been a monster. I jus...
Going to the grate that Luke told me led beneath ground, I stood and looked at it. I could see that the hatch had been fastened with a rusty-looking padlock. Was there really another world on the other side of it? A world thousands of years old where these Vampyrus lived in the utter darkness of ...
The sensation made me shiver as I felt them almost shrink back inside of me. It felt like ice-cold fingernails were being raked across my back. It felt as if something similar to a snake was wrapping itself around my spine and squeezing through the gaps between my ribs. It didn’t hurt exact...

They sniffed the air with long, pointed snouts and made woofing sounds deep within their throats. Even the other Skin-walkers that were present seemed to shy away from them. Then from the back of the van climbed several other police officers. These were dressed from head to foot in thick, black, ...
If she didn’t stop listening to them - shut them out - she would go mad for sure. So switching the TV back on, she sat for the next hour and watched Sesame Street, trying to unburden her troubled mind with the company of Big Bird, Bert, and Ernie, Elmo, and the Cookie Monster. It wasn’t a program...
Charley dropped to the ground by the hole in the fence. My first instinct was to go to her, but she had told me not to touch her. Perhaps it disrupted her flashes in some way. I was glad now that I’d decided to come back. Not because her flashes appeared to have returned with a vengeance, but bec...
‘Dad, what are you doing here?’ I gasped. ‘I could ask you the same thing, Charley,’ he said, stepping in out of the snow. ‘I locked you in your room for a reason.’ ‘How did you know I was going to be here?’ I asked. ‘Your taxi driver used to be a mate of mine. Barry recognised you. He was worrie...
My father had been one of those who had decided to go exploring in the vast wastes of the Talles Varineris canyon and had never returned. It was believed he had been transfixed by its beauty and had wandered into the canyon’s great fissures and been lost forever. My mother had loved him deeply, a...
Harry threw his napkin onto his plate and I watched some of the blood from the meat soak into it. He pushed his chair back from the table and left the dining car without saying a word to anyone. I glanced at Zoe, who drank the last of her wine in one quick gulp and stood u...
escaped from my mouth, things started to change. I hovered just above the ground with Murphy, Meren, and Isidor and watched the hundreds and hundreds of Vampyrus flock toward us. It was then I realised the thunder that had roared ever since I’d come back through the cracks...
Throwing them open, I went out onto the balcony. “What’s the big idea?” I shouted, expecting to see Marshal standing there, but the balcony was empty. There was no one there. Suspecting that he might have seen me coming and climbed off the balcony, I peered over the edge, but co...
Clouds of smoke pumped from it and settled like a blue haze just above his head. He wore a neatly pressed white shirt, blue jeans, and slippers on his feet. “Who did the locker belong to?” I asked, trying to hide my surprise at seeing him. Where had he come from and how ha...
