Until I Die (Die for Me, #2)

Just wow. I simply adored Die For Me and I was eager to visit with Vincent and Kate again in Until I Die. This book was poignantly beautiful.

One of the main reasons I love this series is the characters. Ms. Plum knows how to make each one of her characters into an individual that we learn to love or hate. I really enjoy Jules (hint *can we get a happy ending for Jules?*), Georgia and Ambrose the most, although, as I said each one of these characters feels distinctive and alive.

I will not go on and on about Kate and Vincent, because we know them from the first book. Let me just say this: I love you Vincent! Now that that’s been said, we meet a few new characters in this installment, which I was very ambivalent about; I couldn’t bring myself to trust neither Violette nor Arthur.

The setting again plays a big role in the story. I mean, what could be more romantic than Paris? The story and the mythology of the revenants and the numa is very original and in Until I Die we get a lot more details that we didn’t know. The plot was well crafted, but the pace was slower than the first book. The writing is beautiful, it takes real talent to communicate really deep feelings, like the ones between Vincent and Kate, their sense of desperation and urgency to be together.

I still cannot believe the ending and I am hoping for a miracle, because I refuse to believe it! That cannot have happened. Needless to say, I cannot wait for If I Should Die, due to be published on May of next year.

About the cover: This over is also beautiful. I like the swirls, and the font. The colors are appropriately darker in this book.
