How many people can honestly say they know someone who gave their life for another? How about someone who comes back to life with the purpose of saving lives for all eternity? Those select few, “revenants”,  are immortal beings who continually give their lives for others. Die for Me by Amy Plum, is about Kate Mercier, a human, and Vincent Delacroix, a revenant. After Kate’s parents die, she moves to Paris to live with her grandparents. Kate’s Parisian adventures include frequenting a local cafe where she meets Vincent. She instantly feels as though she’s always known him. When Kate sees Vincent’s best friend, Jules, die for someone, Vincent comforts her by taking her for a snack and telling her everything will be OK. A few days later, Kate sees Jules alive and well, and she thinks she’s going crazy. From then on Kate is involved with the revenants and their eternal battle with the Numa, the revenants' enemies. My favorite parts of the book are the intimate details Plum gives of Paris and the moment when Vincent meets Kate. Overall, this was a superbly written book, and my personal favorite of all the paranormal romance books. I would definitely recommend Die for Me to anyone looking for a paranormal romance, or even just a regular romance book.

My rating:  8.5/10. I love that Plum gives vivid descriptions of the characters and setting. Also, I liked that the "revenants" aren't zombies; they're just normal people who die repeatedly.
