Die For Me (Revenants #1) by Amy Plum, Book Review


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.
Die for Me by Amy Plum is about lovers who are trying all in their power to stay together. They will face several enemies and other various problems before they succeed in their goal.
   It's a beautiful book filled with romance, humor,suspense and mystery.The story starts in a mood of despair, Kate's parent's are killed in an accident back in America.So she and her sister,Georgia, move to the beautiful City of Paris to live with their grandparents and to escape bring lost in grief of their parents untimely death. While in a cafe reading her book, Kate notices an olive-skinned 19 year-old guy looking at her from across the street and amazingly he seems very familiar to her even though she had never seen him before. The feeling being mutual, they continue to gaze at each other until the olive skinned guy(Vincent) starts to leave with his two friends(Jules and Ambrose). Later in the novel Kate and Vincent fall in love and try to battle the odds to stay together. Their story continues in its two sequels 'Until I Die' and 'If I Should Die'.
The characters are portrayed nicely, emotions were pouring out of every word. And of course, Vincent was simply to die for! I found their minor jokes also amazingly entertaining.Amy Plum has done justice to her characters and made them more realistic than any book I've read so far. This review might not be doing the book justice so instead of reading me compliment the book on and on, read the book yourself and decide whether you want to accompany Kate and Vincent in their journey or not but one thing's for sure I'm definitely not going to stop reading till the very end! I highly recommend so do try!
My Ratings out of 5: 5/5
