OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG IT'S GETTING CLOSER!




Update ~ 10/23/11

They finally picked out a cover! I guess it kind of does look like the first one---It still has the swirls and the back of the girl and Paris. I couldn't see the similarities at first. I hope they keep this cover. So cool.

How do you choose between love and life?



... Is that a trick question?

Anyway. I'm just going to comment on particular passages or quotes from the book because I'm too lazy to convert my notes into an actual review right now. I will type out exactly what I wrote down while reading.

Deal with it.

Amy plum took the second installment to some seriously interesting places!! Looking forward to #3.

Until I Die, the second book in the Revenants series, is very much a middle book, but we do learn tons more about the Revenant lore in addition to greater character development. And of course, we still have the beautiful Paris setting.

Oriented towards the Revenant lore, we're plunged deeper into their background and history in this sequel. I was very interested in Amy Plum's unique zombie lore from the beginning, so I was happy to get some more details on these unusual beings. Even though there...more
Maja
Nothing makes me quite so happy as spending time with characters I love. I fully expected Until I Die to suffer from the middle book syndrome but, despite a few symptoms that were obviously present, Amy Plum managed to make the most of it. Of course it wasn’t as eventful as Die for Me, and I’m sure If I Should Die, the last book of the trilogy, will be much more exciting, but Until I Die was a satisfying read in every way.

The fact that I recognized the villain(s) right away and that I was able...more
Katy
I'm sorry, but this book was just plain boring. It was more than halfway through the book before we saw any action. Even then, it was really short-lived. We don't see any action again until near the end. And the villain was too predictable - partly because the book was so uneventful, and I never trusted the villain even from the start because the villain was too perfect. So yeah, I didn't really care for the story here.

As for Vincent and Kate, their relationship was really boring. I know, I know...more

My review can also be found on Reading Lark: http://readinglark.blogspot.ca/2012/0...

Seriously??? We've got to wait a WHOLE YEAR to find out what happens????!!!! I honestly don't think I can survive it!!

Yes, you guessed it... Until I Die ended on one heckuva cliffhanger... and I normally despise those dreaded things. I have always felt that if an author's writing is THAT good -- and Amy Plum's is THAT good -- they don't need one to entice the reader to come back. That was very true with Amy's f...more

I am completely head over heals for this series! The world of Revenants has both fascinated and intrigued me. I now wish that I lived in a world with hot undead guys.

In Die For Me, Kate meets Vincent and finds out his most terrifying secret. He is a Revenant - an undead with the duty to help people and die for them. In Until I Die, Kate and Vincent are trying to find a way of being together without Vincent's urge to die for someone. Vincent has to make sacrifices and Kate has to go behind his ba...more

Rating: 4.5 brilliant stars out of 5

Oh sweet goodness, how I loved this book!

In the first novel, Die For Me, it was the romantic Paris setting and idea of revenants — undead beings with the compulsion to die to save others — that captivated me. The idea was completely unique and executed with perfection, but even though I loved the characters with all my heart, I was never really sold on the romance.

But in Until I Die, somehow Amy Plum managed to make everything more intense, more lovable, mo...more

May 01, 2012 The Holy Terror marked it as probably-shouldn-t-read
Didn't like the first book much so I was probably not going to read this any time soon anyway, now I don't know if I care to read more of this author ever, regardless of my feelings about the first one.

So very tired of all of this. So very tired.

(Added a link to the first book because I'm a whore for "likes" and I must crush Lucy in the charts! Muahahaha.)

Reviewer's Note: At the onset, it became apparent I wasn't the right person for reviewing this book. But 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 Fan (APNOF) and occasionally Insane Amy Plum Fan (IAPF). She also wanted me to give th...more

Until I Die really surprised me. And in a good way. It didn’t suffer from “second book” syndrome! You know what I mean. In the first book our hero and heroine are working do hard to be together and then they finally get to at the end. Only to find some sort of unobtainable obstacle in book two that pushes them apart.

I kept waiting for that to happen in book Until I Die… and it didn’t. Well not really. Sure Vincent and Kate had their share of struggles, but they were together. They might have bee...more
Leah (Jane Speare)
Kate and Vincent are finally together, but now the question is, will Vincent be able to resist his natural impulse of sacrificing himself to save others to stay with her? Interesting new characters come into the equation in this sequel to Die for Me. And as more revenant- and numa- history is discovered, lives become at stake once again. Kate is still one of my favorite YA protags in the way she is very down to earth and mature for her age; it makes the book refreshing. There are a lot more cool...more

I am so far behind! I read this book back in March and have not gotten around to writing a review. I guess it's a good thing life was too crazy to read much last month or I may never get caught up on my reviews.

I love this series. I don't think it has got the hype it deserves. Great setting, beautiful cover, well written, fabulous characters and clean enough that I don't have to put a big disclaimer if I recommend it.

I love the Revenants lore/world that the author created. Can't wait to see how...more

Recommended to Teresa by: Me, myself, and I
I like Until I Die every bit as much I liked Die For Me, though a little less this time. For me, I feel like Until I Die is a middle book, and although it didn't quite disappoint me much like other sequels love to do to me these days, I feel like Amy Plum abandoned all of the magic and enchantment of DFM that made it memorable. I will say, though, that Until I Die has redeeming qualities and, in lots of ways, is better than DFM. I love the world of Amy Plum, complete with a fun and new kind of s...more

This would be my first comeback review after a long reading and reviewing hiatus.
I’ve got Until I Die as an ARC and was dying to get my hands on it because the first book left me begging for more.

First off, I would like to emphasize that I love Ms. Plum. I love the way she writes and her creative way in making the dead so hot. :)
I love the chemistry between Kate and Vincent on the fir...more
Suzanne (Paranormal Pages)
I'm so mad right now. I really didn't enjoy this book, at all. But I struggled through it because I really enjoyed Die for Me and hoped that the third book will be better. I only started to enjoy this at the very end, and then it ends on a massive cliffhanger. grrr

Review:
Well, it took me five days to get through this book and I think that speaks volumes. I really struggled with Until I Die, a book I had been really looking forward to reading, having absolutely loving Die for Me.

My disclaimer: There's a serious risk of spoilers here if you haven't read Die For Me, so if you haven't read the first book in the series yet, you may want to look away now.

Ah, the old second-book-itis. It's there, but it's not necessarily a bad thing - there's more world-building, more character and relationship development and so, so much to learn about the revenants, the numa and their shared history. There are new characters introduced, some familiar characters fade into the background a li...more

Fabulous and Heart-wrenching!

Last year I was greatly surprised by Die For Me (Revenants #1). The story was so original and well written, and the characters were so real and lovable that I immediately placed the book among my favorite releases of the year. This time, Until I Die (Revenants #2) absolutely blew my mind, and also, smashed my soul to a million pieces (Oh my God! what an ending!).

The story picks-up soon after the ending of Die For...more

OMG!! I'm so in LOVE with this series!! This one was so good! I couldn't put it down. It really sucked my attention throughtout the whole book.

It does sort of picks up where the 1st one left off in a way. Kate is more involved with the revenants now. She even started training. She has been ever since certain events that happens that puts her in situations to defend herself. She is also helping them, and wanting to protect them. She genuinely cares about them. For me, there is a little more actio...more

So we pick up where we left off - Vincent being more romantic than ever, Kate still a little undecided.

I like the story line - I'm a sucker for pull at your heart strings Romeo and Juliet style love. Now enter unrequited love from two other characters, and I hope the next book there will be more drama from them.

Over all I liked the characters: Jules is really growing on me and the same with Georgia and Arthur. I'm still not BFFs with Kate - she seems a little undeserving of all the big t...more

“Kate, I admit that we aren’t in the easiest of situations. But are you always this . . . complicated?”
I opened my mouth to say something, but Vincent shook his head, grinning. “Actually, don’t answer that. Of course you are. I wouldn’t be so totally into you if you weren’t.”
