"The squel to Die for Me, Vincent and Kate's story continues. Kate and Vincent have overcome the odds and at last they are together in Paris, the city of lights and love.
As their romance deepens there’s one question they can’t ignore: How are they supposed to be together if Vincent can’t resist sacrificing himself to save others? Although Vincent promises that he’ll do whatever it takes to lead a normal life with Kate, will that mean letting innocent people die? When a new and surprising enemy reveals itself, Kate realizes that even more may be at stake—and that Vincent’s immortality is in jeopardy.
In Die for Me, Amy Plum created a captivating paranormal mythology with immortal revenants and a lush Paris setting. Until I Die is poised to thrill readers with more heart-pounding suspense, spellbinding romance, and a cliff-hanger ending that will leave them desperate for the third and final novel in the series.
The story from Die For Me continues on in the second book in the trilogy. With the Numa leader dead, it seems the Revenant have a bit of unexpected quiet. For Vincent and Kate, this means trying to find a way to be together that doesn't destroy either one of them. But for the Revenant as a whole, the silence of the Numa is disconcerting. Jean-Baptiste, determined to get ahead of their enemies, brings in a pair of Revenant from the countryside to help, but are Violet and Arthur who they seem to be?
While Until I Die continues to be a very cheesy YA paranormal romance, I still find myself enjoying this series. It's light, quick to read, and I really enjoy the unexpected blips of dialogue. As a middle book, the plot lulls, but I've grown to expect that in trilogies and it doesn't really both me too much - instead, I find myself enjoying the ride and getting more into the world building. The characters are a bit flat, but I continue to enjoy the variety of relationships - siblings, friends, grandparents, lovers of all ages and relationship lengths, the works. I think Amy Plum writes the relationships well, and while the characters themselves may not impress, their candor is good. As far as the ending goes, while the villain of this one was totally predictable for me, the very ending came unexpected.
Four stars may seem a bit generous for a book with a mediocre plot and mediocre characters, but the Revenant series continues to be pure enjoyment for me. I like Amy Plum's writing and I like that I can devour the book without becoming too annoyed with its predictability. Ultimately, I'd say Until I Die and the rest of the Revenant series may not appeal to everyone, I'm looking forward to finishing it out.
