Kate has chosen to leave the comfort and safety of her human world in order to join Vincent in the dangerous supernatural universe he inhabits. For his part, he has sworn to go against his very nature and resist the repeated deaths that are his fate as a revenant—even though it will bring him immeasurable suffering.
Heady with romance and rife with danger, the second book of the DIE FOR ME trilogy follows Vincent and Kate as they search—separately—for a solution to their plight, pursuing their quest from the glamorous streets of Paris to the city’s squalid underbelly. Although the experiment that Vincent attempts is progressively destroying him, he insists on seeing it through to the end. This prompts Kate to strike out on her own into the dangerous world of the revenants to find another way. But she unwittingly puts everyone she loves at risk when she discovers a family of ancient healers who hold the key to a secret that could help the bardia—the good revenants—overthrow their murderous enemies, the numa, forever.
And while the lovers search for something they have little chance of finding, a new threat arises among the numa. Kate finds herself in the midst of an ancient and deadly war, not as a bystander…but as a target.

Jenn:

Until I Die is my favorite of the Revenants series. I enjoyed getting to know the characters in depth and seeing them interact with each other. It was also interesting to see Kate and Vincent’s relationship grow and how they learned to deal with Vincent being a revenant. My only problem with this series is how much it reminds me of Twilight. Some of the characters just straight up reminds me of Bella and Edward and the Cullens.

I do have to admit that the end killed me. I was so surprised and I just had to know what happens next. Until I Die was a great follow up and it was so much better than Die For Me. It got me super excited about the last book, If I Should Die.

Nahomi:

I have to agree with Jenn Until I Die was my favorite book of the series. I love the scenes where Kate was training to learn how to defend herself. After having read the first book I didn’t know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. I was on an emotional rollercoaster I didn’t know what was happening and I needed to get to the end.

Throughout the book I had this feeling of impending doom, like something really bad was going to happen.(I wasn’t going to like). I couldn’t put the book down and when I reached the end I couldn’t believe what happened. I was devastated, and desperately needed the third book like yesterday. I feel that Amy Plum did a great job with making the characters relatable and keeping me guessing as to what would happen next. I really enjoyed reading Until I Die.
