If I Should Die

Author: Amy Plum

Release Date: May 7, 2013

by, HarperTeen

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 a war to get what they want.
It shouldn’t be possible, none of it should be, but this is my reality. I know Vincent is somewhere out there, I know he’s not completely gone, and I will do anything to save him.
After what 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?{Goodreads}

  This is one of my all time favorite series!! It is what drove my Paris seaking heart...my obsession with all things Europe...the reason I hope to travel there one day, learn French, and meet a zombie/revenant boy of my own. This series is super good and the ending of the last one killed me!! I need this book ASAP! The author is absolutely amazing and cheery and so nice! I love everything about this book series! And hello!!! Their covers!! I have to say..the gold, amber, orange, green color scheme surprised me but it is still gorgeous! It is absolutely stunning!! The background...everything! But uh..who's creepy shadow is that!? 

  Haha anyways...I am so stoked for this trilogy finale...and so super scared at the same time...It's one of those books I am going to stare at afraid to open its pages then jump right into it....I will cry my eyes out though if something bad happens! I have no clue what to expect..I mean...that ending left you in depression so...let's see what happens I guess...

What about you?

{Review} Until I Die by Amy Plum

Until I Die
Series: Revenants (#2)
Author: Amy Plum
Release Date: May 8, 2012

Pages: 357

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. {Goodreads}

awwe! Wasn't that cute!!? Different beyond measure but adorably cute! 

And oh! The French hot dudes?? *two thumbs up! ;)

~Review:
 I have been waiting forever to read this book! Amy Plum's Revenant Series is by far one of my favorite books of all time. She gave me to obsessions...zombies...and Paris. Now I want to travel to France and visit all the gorgeous scenery we get a taste of in these books and of course learn the language of love ;) Oh! And meet some hot French boys!! Duh!! ;)

 Being the second book....it was very much a second book. But only in the informative way. This book was still greatly amazing and thankfully had not caught the second-book-syndrome.  In Until I Die we get more insight into what the Revenants are and their culture and immortality facts. Which, being a crazy Revenant lover, enjoyed very much! In Die For Me some stuff wasn't explained. I had a couple of questions that nevr got answered but thanks to book number two all of them were pretty much answered! :) 

 I loved getting to see more of my favorite characters! Ooooo and Jules!! Mmm mmm mmm!! He, my friends, is close to coming out of the closet wouldn't you say? Cus I distinctly remember he was a bit questiony in a specific car ride.....I will say no more but I wish HE would! ;D Of course I am madly in love with Vincent also. I mean come on...he's Vincent for crying out loud! I also loved the newest character (guy) he kind of grew on me....even when all the assumptions were going on...(sorry my lips are sealed).

 My heart was being wrenched through the journey of Kate and Vincent's battle to find a way for their love to last. Gah!! Isn't being in love with a zombie so hard!!? Yes, it is. It is extremely hard. Oh!! And poor poor Vincent! In the beginning with his tired bruises and *chokes up* I was rooting him and Kate on! Find it! Find it! And man oh man! Kate is one strong character! I love her! And uhem....I have my suspicions... old prophecy....you know the one! (well, if you haven't read it then I guess you don't but that just gives you more motivation right?)

 Until I Die is a beautiful sequel. A story that pulls you in and your heart out. Amy Plum is an amazing writer who knows what she's doing! That ending.....was the worst ending! She has me dying for more! The question isn't If I Shall Die but that I shall I die if I don't get book three like...now! (heheh see what I did there!) ;) 

 Wonderfully told from beginning to end, this book will literally have you dying for more! Mrs. Plum delivered a unique zombie lore tale and I was so happy to get more info on them in book two. If you haven't gotten your lil paws on this series already you better get your butt up and start reading it! This is a story you don't want to miss!

{Review} Die For Me by Amy Plum

Die For Me (Revenants #1)
Author: Amy Plum

Pages: 341
Publisher: Harper Teen

My life had always been blissfully, wonderfully normal. But it only took one moment to change everything.

Suddenly, my sister, Georgia, and I were orphans. We put our lives into storage and moved to Paris to live with my grandparents. And I knew my shattered heart, my shattered life, would never feel normal again. Then I met Vincent.

Mysterious, sexy, and unnervingly charming, Vincent Delacroix appeared out of nowhere and swept me off my feet. Just like that, I was in danger of losing my heart all over again. But I was ready to let it happen.

Of course, nothing is ever that easy. Because Vincent is no normal human. He has a terrifying destiny, one that puts his life at risk every day. He also has enemies . . . immortal, murderous enemies who are determined to destroy him and all of his kind.

While I'm fighting to piece together the remnants of my life, can I risk putting my heart—as well as my life and my family's—in jeopardy for a chance at love? {Goodreads}

**I am trying to reduce my reviews to 4 (my real review) to 5 (my final say-so) paragraphs (at the most) because I tend to think they are a tad to long and rambling sometimes. I hope these new forms of reviews are more helpful and quick to the point to fill all your needs! Thanks! :D (this paragraph don't count fool!) :b

Where do I even begin!!! Ok so well to be honest, this is my first ever zombie book and man was/am glad it was this one!!! This book is nothing but amazing! Sorry but this book is gonna be short. I am at a loss of words and the only way you are going to understand the genius of this AMAZING book is if you read it yourself! So pardon me if I ramble and don't quite make sense. I will try my best to do this book as much justice as I can! Here I go!

So first off the setting.....PARIS BABY!!!! Dudes you have NO clue how much I love Paris settings! It could be the worst writing in the world and I would love it anyways why? just cus the setting is in Paris! It's such a gorgeous place (so I've heard) and it is my dream! Yes, because of this wonderful book I have decided to (after college) go to Paris, live there for two or so years, depending on how long it takes me to learn fluent French.Paris just gave this book everything! The eeriness, the mystery, and DUH! THE ROMANCE!!

I LOVE Vincent! He is very delicious! Ya he makes you *clears throat* "swoon, die, melt, swoon, melt and DIE! again!!" He is one smokin hot Zombie....I mean Revenant! Kate was a very real and cool easy to relate to character! She was really cool and I really enjoyed seeing everything through her eyes! Oh! One more important character! JULES!!!!! I sooooo love Jules! He doesn't get much action but when he does my stomach does flips! There is just something so charismatic about him!

The whole story of the Revenants enthralled me! I adored the way they are made, the oposites (their enemies) the stories, the purpose...it ALL! This book gave me my obsession on everything! Paris, zombies/revenants, French boys, Amy Plum (in a not creepy way I just love her writing style lol one of my favorite authors now!!) :D

~~~~~~~*My Rate*~~~~~~~

A full 5/5 star rating!! :D

~~~~~~~*Trailer*~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~*Final Say-So*~~~~~~~
This book has everything! It is so beautifully crafted from the writing, scenery, characters, background behind the Revenants, the conflict, well...everything! I highly recommend this book to everyone who is willing to step into the world of zombies. Or to you who have...pick it up! Enjoy! Fall in love!! Run! Leap! Fly! to the bookstore! You need this...yes I mean NEED this book! :D

Thanks for stopping by! Hope I helped! Happy Reading everyone! :D
