If I Should Die (Die for Me #3)
by
Amy Plum (Goodreads Author)
I will not lose another person I love. I will not let history repeat itself.
Vincent waited lifetimes to find me, but in an instant our future together was shattered. He was betrayed by someone we both called a friend, and I lost him. Now our enemy is determined to rule over France’s immortals, and willing to wage a war to get what they want.
It shouldn’t be possible, none o...more

UPDATE: I have not had a chance to read the book yet, I wrote these theories a while ago when I first finished Until I Die. Please put any and all spoilers under a spoiler tag. I really would like to be surprised when I read the book. Thanks!
I have a theory, and it is probably a stupid theory, but a theory nonetheless. What if Vincent isn't the Champion? What if it is actually Kate? Point 1: Maybe Vincent isn't the one with great communication skills, but Kate, and that is why she can hear him a...more

Just got this for my Birthday! Damn. I guess, its about time we get the Nook Color anyway ... Btw,yes, the screen is cracked ... along with our hearts. (This was chucked across Starbucks, we were asked politely to pick it up, and leave.)
This is what 'Until I Die', made us do ...
Now, we know you're thinking "This chick has some serious anger issues..." But think about this, we read 'Die for Me' , and 'Until I Die', in the same day, back-to-back. So it went something like 'We LOVE you so much Vin...more

Reviewer’s Note: For those of you new to the party, Revenants is a series near and dear to a certain heart around these here parts. Just not mine. As I explained in
my review
of Until I Die:
I was intrigued by all the five star reviews of Die for Me, so I decided to investigate, by asking the one person I know who'd rush out to get Until I Die and devour it in a couple of hours even though it usually takes her a month to finish anything, my little sis, who I'll refer to as Amy Plum's Number One...more

UPDATE: The name has been released! "If I Should Die"
.....
......
.......
........
.........What?
Uh....
Is this because Rachel Vincent's book, If I Die (Soul Screamers #5) came out recently, and Amy Plum was maybe planning on naming this book that?
Update: Cover Reveal: PRETTY. I just wish that stupid heart wasn't around the title. It makes it look uber cheesy.
Update: Oh hey, they changed the cover so the heart isn't around the words anymore. Much better.

As someone who’s been a pretty big fan of this series from the day Die for Me came out, I had very mixed feelings about this final installment. I’ve spent a lot of time wondering about Kate and Vincent’s fate, and even after a whole year of living with that awful cliffhanger in mind, a part of me was reluctant to have it resolved and let them go – not because I doubted their happily ever after, but because they are so very dear to me.

Oh My God! Look at that cover! Amazing
I am so happy right now!
and then I see the release date:
I am so happy right now!
and then I see the release date:
NORMAL OBSERVATION:the cover is great, but i kinda wish it was a single bold color like book one or two.
NOT SO NORMAL: why in Gods name is this book coming out in 2013? and did anyone see the suspense in the last book? is she trying to kill us? *screaming at the computer* really? not even a plot.
*pulls hair out* it better not be something like Kate and Jules cause i will rip this book apart so fast my paper shredder would be amazed.*screams running out the door like a crazed person*

Why is the release date so far away?!D:
And with the ending of Until I Die...
COME TO MOMMA ALREADY.
I'd say I hate Amy Plum for:
1. The cliffhanger that made my heart feel like she twisted it out of my chest, stood on and then chewed it apart.
2. THE RELEASE DATE IS UNF SO FAR AWAY UNFUNF:'(
3. Giving me an extremely high expectations in men. I NEED my own Vincent or Jules. I'M BEGGING YOU.
But there is no way I'd ever hate Amy for creating one of my favourite series ever!
JUST PLEASE RELEASE IT NOW.

Just finished 'Until I Die' and how does Amy expect us to wait so long after such a heart wrenching cliff hanger?
EDIT:
Finally read it!
SPOILERS AHEAD!
I have a bit of mixed feelings about this one. I loved it but there were certain scenes that kind of made me roll my eyes a bit. And unlike the previous two, I was able to put this book down half way through and not pick it up again for a day (which is usually unheard of for me lol)

If you are a fan of the Revenants series, you can't miss this one. So read it!
All in all, this was an interesting journey.
I think there was a lot of drama in this book, which is not necessarily good, but gives intensity to all that happens.
I was sad with the fate of some characters, especially Jules.
I feel so sorry for him. I wish his end had been different and he had found some way to be where he was, still.
But it is so hard to love someone who doesn't love us back, especially when that perso...more

I will be so angry if:
1. Vincent dies!
2. Kate brakes up with Vincent for Jules!
I will love it if:
1. Kate becomes the Champion
2. Kate and Vincent reunite
3. Kate becomes a revenants
I just can't wait for it to come out... I hate that she left it off at a cliffhanger! But love the series!!!

Sorry, my jaw hit the keybord when i saw the release date. REALLY A WHOLE YEAR?!?!?! Just kill me now because apparently we are all going to be dead by then anyway so why not? Just make us all suffer will ya? That is all I have to say about that. And I really hope that isnt the final cover.

I need a littel snipet, a summary... ANYTHING! Gosh! With the ending of the last book, i just need something. Throw me a freakin bone, Amy Plum!
I cannot freaking wait.
I officially declare that I love Amy Plum. She's one my favorite authors now. God, I cried at the end of Until I Die. Can't wait. I love all the character.Just.. They're amazing. Especially Vincent, Ambrose, and Jules. My prediction is that Kate will sacrifice herself for Vincent and then she'll die. Then they'll find out she's revenant. It's a perfect guess!! My genius brain is awesome. XD

ahhhhhhhh! I need you, book 3! that cliffhanger was terrible. I'm so distraught; I just finished book 2. I mean all of that happened for nothing. Vincent is not the champion, duh; it's obvious that Kate is the champion. all of the characteristics fit Kate. I just need vincent to be okay. I think that I could cry hysterically for hours if Vincent is actually dead during the 3rd book. i want Vincent alive and better than ever! i want Kate to realize that she is the champion and start being a bad...more

Review: Amy Plum doesn’t disappoint in this heart stopping conclusion of the, Die For Me series.
I love how this book picks up exactly where the last book left off. No lapse in time, no momentary pause, just the space of a heart beat and a breath. After Until I Die, Kate is left with the pieces of a shattered heart, holding on to every ounce of hope one can have, basing her life on the whispering of two words she believes she heard,“ mon- ange.”
Not only Vincent’s secret name for Kate but the sig...more
Well it's the last in a breathtaking paranormal romance series and it ends with a bang. This is the spoiler free part of my review because I want to reflect on my favourite and iconic bits of this book later on and delve into detail about all of the characters I've grown to love.
The plot is fast-paced with very rarely a dull moment and it is still the tale of deep love, fulfilling friendship and great loyalty that I have come to expect.

Yeah, honestly, I don't even know what I wanted to read this book so badly. The first book was okay, the second book was bad, and this book just blew me away…with how absolutely awful it was. I hated it so much I didn't even know what to do with myself. I wanted to love this book, and I really wanted this series to redeem itself because I honestly believed that it could.

This was so much better than book 2, which was a bit of a let down, and I think probably even better than book 1, which I loved. This book was packed full of excitement! I thought it would take most of the book to get Vincent back, but they accomplished that about half way through and there was still so much more to go!

4.5 stars. Kate is a very, very cool and tough girl. I love reading about her. Drawbacks are the - for me - sometimes slightly too cheesy romance between her and Vincent and the occasionally too high predictability of the story. Still, the plot kept me on my toes anyway, the atmosphere was great and the characters all stayed dear to me.
Thank you so much, Amy!! Especially for one of the 'endings', which fulfilled a wish of mine. I leave this world with a pleasantly mushy heart: Aching a little,...more

So here it is! I promised myself not to read trilogies for the time being but upon encountering Amy Plum’s Die For Me Series, her debut novel, I couldn't help myself.
First, the title is striking. It sounds romantic and I wouldn't let myself be hungry for some romantic scenes from the protagonist. Second, the characters are very lovable. You must read it to further agree with me.
The revenants and numas are like good and bad zombies respectively. Its not new to me because they are over the place....more

After a so-so experience with Die for Me and a second--and much more successful--attempt at Until I Die, I can say that I am rather pleased that I gave this series a chance. If I Should Die was certainly the best out of the trilogy, however my feelings fall short on the matter of what happened to Kate, and the dealings with Jules.

Anche questa trilogia si è conclusa, con mio grande rammarico. Mi sono affezionata alla storia, ma soprattutto ai personaggi, tutti i personaggi!
La storia riprende da dove l'avevamo lasciata al termine del secondo libro: Violette ha ucciso Vincent e preso il suo corpo per distruggerlo e impossessarsi dei poteri del Campione.
Tutto questo ha naturalmente mandato nel panico Kate che, ancora una volta, decide di prendere in mano le redini della situazione e cercare una soluzione.

Okay I just completed the book like two seconds ago. WOW. It was emotional,irritating,sweet,funny,and the type of ending that makes me wish they made a movie for it so that in the movie they could make the ending more worth while than in the book like they did for Breaking Dawn Part 2. I felt like the ending left me with a big hole in my chest, like really that's it? The beginning had me screaming with excitement. Part 1 of the book was sort of the OH MY GOSH part of the book, and Part 2 was the...more
Quick Reflections:
TOTALLY NAILED that Vincent would find a new body. Just didn't think they would literally make a new body... out of clay... soaked in Jules blood... set on fire...
NAILED that she would be the Champion.
So... what was with the lame ending? It was sort of flat.
Speaking of flat... I felt that the flow was off. Like, there was always SO MUCH going on, so many "HOLYCRAP,THISISSOSERIOUSWHATAREWEGOINGTODO!?!" moments one after another, and they weren't ever spaced out. Since there was...more

The best thing about this book is that it picks up at the exact moment the last book left off. Not many sequels do that, and there's no break in the action. While this might be a problem for some because of the length of time between books, it's great for those of us who read them back-to-back. Sometimes it pays to wait for an entire series to be written and out before you read it.
