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? - Good Reads
Die For Me is basically the typical Young Adult paranormal romance, but the paranormal aspect has a very interesting and unique twist. Revenants, you guys! Which in Die For Me is something like a sexymygutsaren'thangingoutandIwon'teatyourfaceoff zombie. The romance in the book wasn't exactly mind blowing though. I did get the butterflies on occasion, but towards the end it felt like it escalated and I was left wondering when they got so incredibly close. And one thing happened that threw me off and really bothers me when authors do it: I love bad boys or the strong and silent type. Yep, I sure do. Stereotypical, overused in literature, no problem! Liza + Bad Boy = Moth to a flame! But what really bothers me is that I need to SEE in action that he's what someone says he is. It doesn't work if the character just says "Oh he looks so bad assssssssssss in his leather jacket" or whatever the case may be. I'm not saying he has to be a total jackass, but there has to be more of something there besides a "rough look". Unfortunately in Die For Me Vincent was presented in that sort of manner by the main character Kate and so it did knock it down a few notches for me.
But despite those complaints I'm definitely glad I read this. The supporting cast and storylines kept me interested and my eyes glued to the pages and I really can't wait to see what happens in the next book Until I Die!
