After the death of their parents, Kate and her sister, Georgia move to Paris to live with their grandparents. Their both dealing with everything in very different ways. Georgia chooses to keep herself busy, going out and surrounding herself with people while Kate, an introvert cuts herself off from the world and has her head in books. Georgia convinces her to get out and she sits in a café to read her favourite classic novel. Then she notices a gorgeous guy staring at her from across the café. After months of just existing, with Vincent's help, she finally starts to live again, but isn't sure if she's ready to risk her heart. The majority of the books I read are paranormal, so I can't express enough how refreshing it is to read about something other than the usual creatures. Revenants, which is a French word and literally means "one who comes back" are spirits that returns from the dead. The word seems to be popping up everywhere now, but I'd never heard of them before this book and love that Amy Plum created her own mythology for them. Another big plus is that it's set in Paris. Apart from the obvious reasons (it's Paris), it's a nice change from the usual American setting. Kate is easily lovable and very smart. Although she feels a connection to Vincent, she isn't blinded by it. She stops and thinks about the reality of a relationship with him instead of that instant love we've come to know, which makes it more realistic. Vincent is a Revenants. That doesn't sound like much of a description, but when you find out what kind of person you'd have to be to become one, is explanation enough apart from he's French (enough said), a gentleman and gorgeous. I don't just adore Kate and Vincent, but have a fondness for all the characters, which doesn't happen as often as I'd like. If I ever met Jules, I'd probably giggle like a girl with her first crush after one wink. I love this book! The story is captivating, well-written and beautifully depicted. The ending left me satisfied and anticipating how it will continue in the next book.

Die For Me A Story written by Amy Plum. The Story is set in Paris and gives the Reader not a usual Story. Normally the supernaturel stories are set in the USA, but this time it's different. Katy and her sister move to Paris to her grandparents because her parents died. There she meets the lovely Vincent who has a dark secret. When she falls in love with him she realizes what he really is. Revenants, in other words ZOMBIES are the new characters in Amy Plums Story. I liked the book because it was so different from other ones. The book had a good amount of Action and a love Story. Sometimes it was too insta-love, but because of the Happenings you didn't get distracted by it. All in all I liked the Story. So I gave it 4 stars.
