Review: Die for me by Amy Plum
The Book:
This is the first book in the Revenants series by Amy Plum. The second book Until I Die, is expected released in 2012.
This is a modern zombie/immortal story. For teens/young adults.
Read: July 2011
Language: English
Summary: (from Goodreads)
In the City of Lights, two star-crossed lovers battle a fate that is destined to tear them apart again and again for eternity.
When Kate Mercier's parents die in a tragic car accident, she leaves her life--and memories--behind to live with her grandparents in Paris. For Kate, the only way to survive her pain is escaping into the world of books and Parisian art. Until she meets Vincent.
Mysterious, charming, and devastatingly handsome, Vincent threatens to melt the ice around Kate's guarded heart with just his smile. As she begins to fall in love with Vincent, Kate discovers that he's a revenant--an undead being whose fate forces him to sacrifice himself over and over again to save the lives of others. Vincent and those like him are bound in a centuries-old war against a group of evil revenants who exist only to murder and betray. Kate soon realizes that if she follows her heart, she may never be safe again.
In this incandescent debut, newcomer Amy Plum has created a powerful paranormal mythology with immortal revenants. The Paris setting comes enchantingly alive as a relentless struggle between good and evil takes place in its streets. Rich with romance, atmosphere, and thrills, Die for Me will leave readers breathlessly awaiting its sequel.

ReplyDeleteSounds awesome. I have read both great reviews and not so great reviews on this book so I have been torn on reading it for some time now. I will probably have to get a copy soon though because I personally think I will like the story.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great review. :)
