Synopsis
But I'm still eagerly anticipating it,
since I don't own it yet!
Synopsis
The plot of this novel attracted me right away
because it combines my two greatest passions:
books and art.
The protagonist, Kate Mercier, is an orphan
who goes to Paris, France
to live with her grandparents.
She escapes into books and art in order to
deal with her pain and grief.
Then she meets Vincent, who is,
of course, devastatingly handsome and charming.
Did I mention that he's also mysterious?
No, he's not a vampire....but a revenant,
a strange being who is somehow immortal,
and yet, is also fated to give his life to
save others, again and again....
save others, again and again....
Then, too, there's a war going on,
between the good and evil revenants,
and Kate, who falls in love with Vincent, may
never be safe again...
never be safe again...
Quote from Amazon's Product Description:
In this incandescent debut, newcomer Amy Plum has created a powerful paranormal mythology with immortal revenants. The Paris setting comes enchantingly alive as a relentless struggle between good and evil takes place in its streets. Rich with romance, atmosphere, and thrills, Die for Me will leave readers breathlessly awaiting its sequel.
