Die For Me by Amy Plum

Die for Me (Revenants, #1) Die For Me was unique in a sense because I was actually interested in the relationship between Kate and Vincent and how that will turn out to be... but it also didn't wow me either because Kate irritated me at times. I loved Vincent because he was just so sweet, heroic, and he broke my heart because he was also hurting because of Kate. But other than that, the story was interesting, the characters were essential to their own parts, and the writing flowed quite beautifully. Who wouldn't love to be in the City of Lights? If you're looking for a book about the battle between good & evil, finding love in someone you never would have expected, and lots of sweet between the hero and heroine, then be sure to get this book!

Kate Beaumont Mercier happens to be our heroine in the book. The reason why she's even in Paris is because after a car accident that left Kate and her olider sister parentless/orphans, her sister decided to move to Paris for a new start. There, she stays with her grandparents, and every day is eventually a struggle for her to escape the pain... until she meets the one boy who will change her life forever. I admit that there were some moments when I didn't like Kate because she was wish-washy towards Vincent. And I guess it's because she doesn't want the people that she loves to die again. But of course it's unevitable-- especially with Vincent's case.

Vincent Delacroix, can I just say I love his name? He happens to be the boy who evidently changes Kate's life when they cross eyes. He was such a wonderful and delicious hero who most definitely loves Kate from the bottom of his heart. Who wouldn't love a guy like that? He's gorgeous, sexy, strong, sweet, and French! But alas, he also has a huge secret that almost destroys his relationship with Kate. Thankfully, Kate saw the light or else I would have wanted to slap her. Vincent is a revenant, in other words, he is one of the undead. There's also the fact that he hasn't aged since the 1920s. The relationship between the two was just undeniably beautiful because the moments between Kate and Vincent was tender and adorable.

The villain of the story was pretty easy to figure out, and oh! Unlike other books, this one does not have a cliffhanger. It's more of a questionable ending that will probably continue on in the next book. There is a slight love triangle... but I doubt anything will happen since Vincent's also sort of possesive. Aha! To sum it up, this was a pretty unique and interesting debut by author Amy Plum that has everything a Paranormal Romance/Young Adult fan is looking for. 5/5 stars.

Rating: ★★★★★
