***** 5-this series is gonna be the death of me- Stars~this review contains spoilers from previous books~“You can kill me, but my death won't change what's coming.”Brilliant! Evil, twisted, bloody, heart-stopping GENIUS!! In short, that's Tim O'Rourke for me. This man can do no wrong in my eyes. He drags you into his world kicking and screaming, knowing all kinds of trouble lies ahead and immerses you so completely you feel like a different person at the end, fumbling around blindly not having a clue what to do next. He terrifies me like no other, scared to turn the page but unable to help myself, laughing one minute-crying and or cringing the next, try not to get too attached to any of the characters (good luck with that) because he will just rip your heart out when he kills them off of they betray you.....I'm sending dear Mr. O'Rourke my shrink bills, he will absolutely drive me bat-shit crazy but I will love every friggin minute of it. As per usual with his books, my review is gonna be short and sweet. There are just too many twists, turns & surprises, ANYTHING I say could very well spoil the story and these books just have to be lived as they come. I had to suffer, you should too ;)Potter wasn't meant to be interacting with this Kiera, but just like it always did, Potter's d*** had gotten in the way again. Would he ever learn? Not while there were beautiful women in this world like Kiera.Dead Lost is our next stop on this terrifying speeding train known as the Kiera Hudson Series. We pick up right where Dead Push leaves us and Potter is facing off with The Photographer who has just killed the other Kiera.Potter glanced up at me, my face still hidden by the hood.“You shot her!' he screamed. “You killed her!”Slowly, I pulled back the hood.“No!” he gasped, at seeing my face. “Why did you have to kill Kiera?”“To save your life, Potter.”The elusive, mysterious photographer reveals themselves to Potter, but will we learn who it is? You will have to read this to find out, 'cause I'm not tellin! While Potter ventures off with The Photographer to deliver some photos and get some answers, our beloved Isidor and the man who screws with my head, AKA Jack Seth, are at the Great Western Railway Station having a moment of their own....“What's Happening?” I gasped as he started to change shape and size before me. But Jack wasn't changing into a wolf like I had seen him do so many times before, he was becoming me.“I'm saving your f****** life, that's what's happening,” he panted. He shook violently as his emaciated face started to contort until it looked like mine. “Jeezus, Isidor, your head really is full of dumb f****** ideas.”“Why are you doing this?”“Because I want you to go and find your friend, Melody Rose. She'll be waiting for you, trust me.”Isidor goes off in search of Melody and stumbles across a town where babies are being snatched in the middle of the night by what the town believes to be 'winged creatures' marking him as a potential suspect if he were to be discovered. As Potter and Isidor are off on their own missions to push  the world back they start to notice some disturbing changes taking place, cracks are starting to form in the sky as well as the ground. What does it mean? Why is it happening?? Is it a good thing, or are things about to get a whole lot worse???I stood in the opening and stared up at the night sky. Looking upwards, mouth open, I wondered whether Jack had done some damage to this pushed world.“What have you done, Jack Seth?” I breathed, staring up at what looked like faint cracks appearing in the night sky.Once again Tim O'Rourke takes us on a ride you won't soon forget, all leading up to what I'm sure will be an explosive and epic finale. I'm equal parts terrified and excited. We've been through so much with these characters, I feel just as invested in the outcome as they are. I want to take up camp in O'Rourke's head and never, ever leave.And now, I'm going to leave you with what I like to call 'Fun with Potter'....I do love that manHe would soon get over it – he always did. Sure, he would b**** and complain, that was another of his talents as well as having his brains in his bollocks, but Potter would heal.Another jealous Kiera, I thought. These pushed worlds really were mirror images of each other. How does one guy manage to p*** off the same woman in two different wheres and whens? Only Potter could do that.“F*** me, it looks like an 80's boy-band reunion. No, on second thought, let's make that the 70's.”“Always the wise guy”
