Review: Die for me by Amy Plum

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.

The Story:
Two young girls travel to live with their grandparents in Paris, since theire parents past away in a car accident.
The two sisters are very different, one love partying etc. The other one keeps to her self.
We follow the youngest sister Kate, who enjoys being alone, reading etc.
But her quiet life turns up side down, when she meets a mystery boy, Vincent.
Vincent is not any kind of a boy, his a Revenant.

My Opinion:
I absolutely adored this book. One of my favorites this year. It had my breathtaking from the beginning till the end :) And when I finished it, I just wanted to start reading it all over again. Which I have never done before. So think my next audiobook, will be Die for me :D
So as you probably already guessed, I rated this book 6 out of 6 stars.


It´s a magical love story, who has you binded to turning the pages :)
And I am just super excited about the sequel, just to bad I have to wait that long :(
But what are you waiting for, go pick up the book ;)

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading and it asks us to...

• Grab your current read
  
• Open to a random page
  
• Share a couple of “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  
• Share the title & author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers.

The Magican´s Nephew by C.S Lewis

But this time there was something that had kept them as wide-awake as possible: for as soon as they had got out on the grass, they found that they were not alone.

Page 65

I am on page 48 so far. Read the beginning once before, many many years ago. But still like it :) Looking forward to see what will happen :) Since I have only read the beginning before.

Though I am a huge Narnia fan :D So I will probably love it :D

Review: Woodland Fantasy by Becca Dale

Woodland Fantasy by Becca Dale

About the Book:
This is an Ebook on only about 13 pages. Which I got for free on All Romance Ebooks.
An adult book, with sex involved. Not for people under 18 years.

Read: June 2011
Language: English

Summary: (From Goodreads)
Trapped in an abusive marriage, a woman escapes into the woods to find peace and happens upon her erotic salvation in the guise of a handsome forest dweller.

My opinion:
I have to admit this was not a book for me. So I only gave it 1 out of 6 stars.

I didn´t feel like there were a real story in the book. No real beginning, prestory, real middel or ending. . Okay that sounded evil, but it´s not like that. It just lacked a bit of "keep on reading entusiasme."
It´s about a person who left her house and cheated on her husband, and then went back home again. 13 pages, done into 1 sentence :)

The think who really confused me, was the point that it was suppose to be a paranormal related book, or so I thought. But I didn´t really feel like there were anything paranormal in it.
Other then the man says something about being a fairy king.
Which in my opinion came a little bit out of the air, and didn´t do anything to the story. Since that was it. It could just have been dropped.

But again how much can you let yourself think about 13 pages. I could imagine it´s incainly difficult to get everything into such few pages.

So my conclusion is, I am probably not a short story fan. Since I normally get disappointed.
But hoping to find a short story I will like one day :P hehe

Have you read this one? And what do you think of short stories? You like them???
Any suggestion of what I should read, to get over my fear for short stories.?
