Book Review: If I Should Die – Amy Plum

If I Should Die (Revenants, #3)
I will not lose another person I love.  I will not let history repeat itself.

Vincent waited lifetimes to find me, but in an instant our future together was shattered.  He was betrayed by someone we both called a friend, and I lost him.  Now our enemy is determined to rule over France’s immortals, and willing to wage war to get what they want.

It shouldn’t be possible, none of it should be, but this is my reality.  I now Vincent is somewhere out there, I know he’s not completely gone, and I will do anything to save him.

After we’ve already fought to achieve, a life without Vincent is unimaginable.  He once swore to avoid dying—to go against his nature and forsake sacrificing himself for others—so that we could be together.  How can I not risk everything to bring my love back to me?

3/5 stars (liked it)
The conclusion to the series was good and really gave it an ending.  After loosing Vincent to Violette and having his body destroyed, Katie is desperate to find a way to get him back.  Katie travels to New York and confronts her past.  We also get to see more of Bran, the guerisseur, who learns more from him family through books that will help the bardia.  Also the Champion rises up.  Overall the book was good but I found it somewhat predictable.

Book Review: Until I Die - Amy Plum

Until I Die (Revenants, #2)
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.

4/5 stars (really liked it)
This book explains Revenants a lot more and Numa.  It was nice to get some background on both groups.  The book is mostly about Vincet and Kate's love and the obstacles they will have to overcome in the future.  Mainly Vincent's need to keep dying, therefore never aging and Kate growing old.  We meet two new Revenants, Violette & Arthur.  Also the ending really made me wish I didn't have to wait so long until I can read the next one.
