Die for me

Die for Me by Amy Plum

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


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.



SQUEE!!!!! This book is AWESOME. And I'm not just saying that because I want to disagree with my friend.



This book really is very good. It gives a whole new spin on the supernatural fantasy genre, with good zombies destined to die for other people. It's also probably the only book that has the quote:

I'll try not to die for you.

And, of course, what would good zombies be without bad zombies? And possession as well? Good mix.



This is not a typical guy-meets-girl, guy-turns-out-to-be-undead type of book, mainly because instead of calmly accepting the fact that the guy she likes is a zombie, Kate reacts like a normal person. Which is by refusing to see him for about a month. And she pretty much gets over him, but Vincent? He pines for her. Role reversal much?



Good book. Read it.
