    Twilight 2.0, or not?
  

*by J***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 9, 2013*

While reading the first 150 pages or so of DIE FOR ME, I felt that I would likely have to put on a poncho and acquire an umbrella to have on hand for when people read my review of the book. All in anticipation of the possibility of tomatoes being thrown my way. But then, I reached the midpoint of the book and decided that those items would no longer be necessary. While not without its faults, and its apparent similarities to a certain book about a sullen girl who falls in love with an immortal hottie, I actually found myself ENJOYING Amy plum’s debut novel. To the point that I eagerly anticipate her second book in the trilogy, UNTIL I DIE.Plot: 7Die For Me starts off on a pretty depressing note. Kate Mercier and her sister Georgia are moving to Paris; not by choice, but as a result of the recent untimely death of their parents. In the City of Lights, Kate spends most of her days alone, mourning the loss of her parents in the local museums and coffee shops, while Georgia eases her woes with endless partying. Kate spends much of the first part of the book doing nothing but mourning, until she catches the eye of a certain mysterious (and HOT) young man. Then she spends the next handful of chapters doing nothing but watching him and falling in love with the mysterious stranger. THEN they meet and further develop their love. You’re left waiting for something to happen other than discovering who and what Vincent is, which doesn’t even happen until 100-150 pages or so into the book. And THEN things start getting complicated, motives of certain characters are revealed and the story gets really GOOD. Really, it’s worth reading Die For Me and dealing with the “watching and waiting”, even if just for the final 100 pages of the story.Characters: 7One of the biggest pit falls of Die For Me is the amount of time spent with Kate and Vincent just “watching” each other. Kate herself is a fairly well-developed character. Her background is established in the beginning, she has thoughts and emotions that are realistic of a person who just lost her parents. Even her sister Georgia and her reactions to their parent’s deaths are realistic. Unfortunately, Kate becomes a bit stale as a character during the time spent watching Vincent and then subsequently trying to stay away from him once she finds out who (and what) he is. Also, at times she does things simply because she feels she “should” but then she turns around and changes her mind within the blink of an eye. I guess this is the realistic nature of a teenager, but her actions and decisions had my eyes (and my head) rolling at times.Then there’s Vincent. He’s hot and he’s “immortal”, he has wicked hair and an “old soul”. Sound familiar? Lucky for him, he’s also funny, laid back and not a total prude. Whew! Vincent also has a “family” that feels somewhat familiar, with a “creator” who is also a father figure of sorts… Hmm. But all these striking similarities are forgiven when the story is taken in a direction that separates the supporting characters from their “other” immortal counterparts.I did laugh at the numerous “stalker” references throughout the book, though, and the occasional apparent jab at a certain other immortal stalker. At times I almost felt that maybe mockery was intended to a certain extent when it came to the characters in this book. Who knows!Setting: 10Paris, The City of Lights. Amy Plum knows her setting, she loves her setting, heck, she recently moved to her setting! She does a very nice job of taking us up and down the streets of Sweet Pari, into the cafes and galleries that are scattered throughout the town. The sights and sounds, you will be pulled right into them along with Kate. Even Vincent’s home receives much attention in the story. I commend Amy in being able to create a scene and set us right into it. Much like the cover of the book, her setting is enthralling.Pacing: 6This is the part where I thought that a poncho and umbrella would come in handy. Oh, Amy, if only you could have condensed the first 150 pages into half that many! Your story would have improved greatly, and the early pacing should have been more in line with the later events of the story. I grew tired just “watching and waiting” with Kate. I wanted to bop her over the head with the book when so much time was spend mulling over this boy that she didn’t even know. At one point I almost put the book down. But then suddenly, with all the silly melodrama put behind, things FINALLY got interesting and I decided to keep reading. AND I’M GLAD I DID! If not for the later half of the book, Die For Me could very well have been a DNF on my shelves, and I would have missed out on what eventually turned into a very engrossing and promising story. (But the first half of the book… Oi…)Style: 8Amy is a commendable writer. Her prose and descriptions of her world reveal that she has great potential. But there are two departments where I had issues: First was Kate’s grandparents and their apparent disregard for the well-being of their grandchildren (Really? Letting a teenager party every night? A sleepover at a boy’s house just so the child can “live the life”? Ugh, as a mom myself, that’s disturbing.) And second, the occasional wooden dialogue. At times, when I think the moment was supposed to be serious, instead I found myself laughing because of things the characters would say. These moments came in spurts, but they were a bit distracting when they did happen.But then again, this is a debut and, as is the case with most debut authors, one would hope that skill will improve with each release. Plus, what with all of the “watching and waiting” behind us, I have a feeling that great things are in store in UNTIL I DIE. I will definitely be reading it to see if I’m right.

    Great new paranormal world!
  

*by N***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 8, 2012*

Die For Me was one of those titles that I was anticipating last year.  The beautiful cover immediately caught my eye-especially with the Eiffel Tower in the background-and the synopsis sounded intriguing and romantic.  But unfortunately I never got around to reading it.  When I received an ARC for Until I Die, it provided me with the great opportunity make time to read Die For Me and see for myself what all the fuss is about.Following the tragic death of her parents, Kate and her older sister Georgia move to Paris to live with their grandparents.  Unlike her sister, who has adjusted to her new life quite easily, Kate can't seem to move on and she spends most of her time alone, reading, visiting museums and drowning herself in sorrow.  During one of her few outings, Kate meets Vincent, a handsome and charming guy who sounds like the perfect gentleman.  After a couple of dates, Kate knows that she is beginning to fall for Vincent.  Unfortunately, she discovers that Vincent (and his friends) are undead, a revenant who sacrifices his life over and over to save others.  Despite her feelings for him, she doesn't think that she can handle being with him if he will keep dying.  Vincent and Kate come to a compromise to be able to be together.  But being a revenant comes with its own share of problems, including the Numa, who are their sworn enemies.  How will Kate deal with being with Vincent and the constant danger he constantly faces?I really liked the slow build up to Kate and Vincent's relationship.  Vincent is sweet, romantic and speaks French!  Yet despite how perfect he sounds, I couldn't help but think that he was just a little bit too sweet.  Usually my favorite male characters are someone who is sarcastic a bit of a jerk, but really sweet and romantic.  (Think Patch, Jace and Daemon)  I also wish he had a bit of a dangerous side in him, which I did not see in this book, hopefully it makes an appearance in the next book.  I couldn't help but love the rest of Vincent's revenant friends, especially Jules, Ambrose and Charlotte.  I loved the flirty way Jules behaved with Kate and I can't but wonder if he is teasing her, or if he has real feelings for her.  Anxious to see how that will play out in the next book.Amy Plum did an AMAZING job at creating and explaining the world of the revenants!  Everything about them was so new and interesting and I can't wait to learn more about them in Until I Die.  Die For Me is the start of what will for sure be an amazing new series.  I'm happy I FINALLY got around to reading this and I'm ready to continue the story with Kate, Vincent and some of the coolest zombies I've read about.  Die For Me was a great story with romance, mystery and a fresh take on paranormal characters-set in the city of love, can't go wrong with that!4 out of 5 sparkly stars!-I had begun to feel like I was encased in a layer of ice.  I was cold inside.  But I clung to the coldness for dear life: Who knew what would happen if I let the ice thaw and actually began to feel things again?-"So can you be here now?""Well I'm glad we're starting with the easy questions," he said, stretching his powerful arms and then leaning his powerful arms and then leaning toward me.  "The answer would be...because we're zombies!" and he let out a horrible groan, stretching his mouth open and baring his teeth as he curled his hands into claws.Seeing my terrified expression, Ambrose began cracking up and slapping his knee with his hand.  "Just kidding," he cackled, and then, calming down, looked at me sedately.  "But no, seriously.  We're zombies."-"So you eat normal food," I commented, watching Vincent cut a piece off his magret de canard."What?  Were you expecting me to order raw brains?"-Pulling the shirt over my head, I said, "Okay, I'm decent."He turned around and looked at me, whistling under his breath.  "You're more than decent!  You look practically edible.""I thought revenants weren't into eating human flesh," I teased, blushing in spite of myself.-My normal world was gone, in more ways than one.  But I had a chance for happiness in a completely new one.  A world better suited to science fiction and horror films, perhaps, but also one where I could find tenderness, friendship, and love.  Although I still longed for my old life, I knew I had been given a second chance.  It was right here, suspended like a ripe fruit in front of my eyes.  All I had to do was reach out my hand and take it.  But first I had to let go of what I was grasping in white-knuckled fear: the past.*** of my reviews and author interviews at:Nereyda @Mostly YA Book Obsessed

*by B***) on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 20, 2014*

*Contains a few minor spoilers*I was immediately drawn in by the concept that the move from Brooklyn, New York to Paris, had already taken place as the book began. I loved that it also gave more time for the back-story to be told of Kate, because she was a pretty fascinating character. Kate Beaumont Mercier, American, though fluent in French through her father's parents, her Papy and Mamie who she and her older sister; Georgia, live with now.Kate was still very much in a state of mind that circled around her old life, her parents and grief. She had lost contact slowly with her old friends from New York, because the memory of who she used to be with her parents was just too fresh and painful. For the most part of the beginning, Kate is still an interesting, bright character who was a very selfless person, and usually told her Grandparent's and sister that she was okay, even though she was struggling. Georgia, Kate's sister, is the life of every party. She was in New York, and she is in Paris. That's her own little way of dealing with things, and it seems to work for her throughout the book, whereas Kate is very withdrawn to start...until...enter; Vincent Delacroix.He's the stranger with his friends at the cafe, the face Kate can't seem to get out of her mind. For a while, it seems as though he could be a distraction from things, and when he finally talks to her, things seem to head in the right direction. She thinks that things will be...better from here. But, see, Vincent's actually a Revenant. So, yeah...he's undead.A Revenant is a "zombie-esque" type of undead, immortal being that saves human lives for a living. It's usually because they originally died in their human lives saving someone else, and therefore, a Revenant is born. They "animate" and come back to life, and thanks to someone who can see when someone has come back from the dead in their sort of "family" or group, they can detect who is now one of them, although that doesn't happen to everyone.Kate on the other hand, is shocked to find out everything about what Vincent and his friends, or "Kindred" are, and what their lives entail. But he also saved her life, thanks to Charlotte, another Revenant, (sort of like a fiery, feisty girl who would be the most amazing friend ever,) who is part of twins. Charles, her twin, is quite troubled after not being able to save a life, and because of their compulsive need to save a person's life, he takes a turn for the worse and heads to the baddies (Numa; definition; a bad Revenant) for a way out.“I had feared that love would make me vulnerable. Instead I felt empowered.” This is nothing like Twilight, but I see why people would assume it is similar. Yes, there's a group who aren't family, though live together in a big house (La Maison) because they are all one kind, but it stops there. That is the only similarity. I actually found it quite interesting reading about all these different characters who seemed to have this spark of their own that shone though, though they never overshadowed each other. There was Jules; flirty, constantly with a different date, and very impulsive. He is always super nice to Kate, and flirts with her like it's his job. I always feel like there's something sincere about it, though. Then there's Ambrose; with leader quality and a good heart, he is very impulsive too, and always likes to pick a fight with the Numa when he can. Charlotte and Charles, like I mentioned before, hate being apart. Charles is very withdrawn, not shy per say, but he isn't very open to Kate being at La Maison either. Charlotte is just so nice. She was one of my favourite characters, for definite. Both twins died quite young in their human lives, and I'm sure they were about fifteen years old. Like Kate described her, she was small, but she was stronger than people assumed. There's also Gaspard, Jean-Baptise, and Jeanne; the only other human in the house (the housekeeper).Vincent adored Kate, and since his wife-to-be died a very long time ago, he had never found someone he loved so much, or anyone, actually. Kate is just so frightened of this world that revolves around death, with her being so close to it already with the grief of her parent's death. But their love and relationship was something that was just easy. It came naturally. He would literally die for her, he was obsessed with her (in a good way, although he did kind of stalk her to start with) and she felt the same. There's just that doubt that what if that world brings her into danger? She hated being so close to death, on the edge...but the question of the novel was; was her love for Vincent and keeping him safe, worth the sacrifice to stay and fight with him and be in that world? Could she be that girl?I adored Amy Plum's writing style. It was effortlessly beautiful and flawless. I wouldn't change a thing, and think she really nailed it with Die For Me. It was one of the best debut books I have ever read, and I just love what she did with the history of Revenant's, whilst creating her own history and gaining followers of the astonishingly amazing trilogy. There was something about Die For Me that just made me want to drop everything and read it whenever I saw it sitting there. I just couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next, and could never leave it long before picking it up and reading it again.2 days! I read it in two days!?!
