If I Die (Soul Screamers #5)
by
Rachel Vincent (Goodreads Author)
The entire school's talking about the gorgeous new math teacher, Mr. Beck. Everyone except Kaylee Cavanaugh. After all, Kaylee's no ordinary high-school junior. She's a banshee—she screams when someone dies.
But the next scream might be for Kaylee.
Yeah—it's a shock to her, too. So to distract herself, Kaylee's going to save every girl in school. Because that hot new teacher...more

*Happy happy dance.* For fans the Soul Screamers series, this book will either be everything you want...or everything you feared most. I fall firmly into the "incoherently happy" camp after reading it.
Soul Screamers as a whole is kind of a funny animal. The mythology is pretty unusual and I really like the unique world that Rachel Vincent creates with her banshees, maras, grim reapers, and demon breath. The stories are admittedly fairly straightforward (think Morganville rather than Chicagoland...more

I'm speechless. This was so fucking good. Damn. Daaaaaamn.
Might review it later, though.. After I reread it about 349587 times..
Thank you, Rachel Vincent. This feels like all my patience through the last four books and two novellas gets rewarded.

Originally read 6/4-6/5/11 and reviewed. Gave it my off-the menu 6 star rating on the blog.
Re-read 6/1/12. On re-read would also give it 6 stars.
Every time Kaylee Cavanaugh thinks things are beginning to settle down at Eastlake High, something always happens. When she suddenly has to fight against singing for a soul in the middle of her new math teacher’s class, she can hardly believe it.

It is inevitable people are going to be heartbroken by this book because Kaylee has to make some really serious and life-changing decisions to make. That being said, the heartbreak that you are bound to experience while reading this book doesn't make you dislike the book one bit, if anything, it makes you love the world that Rachel has created even more than you thought possible.

No seriously, what do you think is going to happen? Will somebody die? Will the relationship drama be continued? Argh, these books are driving me nuts.

**DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ MY SOUL TO STEAL**
Before I read the book:
This is how it could possibly end:
Tod + Kaylee
Nash + Sabine and
Alec + Emma
And, oddly enough, I would be okay with that. :)
After I read the book:
SPOILERS!!!!!!
OHHH....MYYYY....GOSH!!!!
I was right!! well, partially anyways. I can't believe it! I'm so ecstatic right now, that I'm bouncing off the walls. The last few books that I read had endings that were just kind of... Ehhh. And I was starting to get frustrated. but this b...more

I really hope the author doesn't put Kaylee and Tod together, because if she does I think I will be finished with this series. Dating brothers is just wrong!

If Kaylee doesn't end up with Tod in the Soul Screamers series, I'd take off Rachel Vincent in my list of favorite authors..LOL (but so far, I still love her!)
...I just love Kaylee and Tod, I don't like Nash for her and rather let Sabine have him.

This book totally took me by surprise!
I was only hoping for more of Kaylee/Tod flirting but never imagined that they'll end up together in this book. And I really did my 'dorky dance' when Kaylee kissed Tod.. AHH MY GAWD!! :)

I don't know but I was just thinking, couldnt it be possibly that Kaylee might end up as a reaper.. I mean it would only seem right...
This book can go alot of ways....
Todd ends up with Kaylee..
Nash ends up with Sabine...
Todd has been assigned to collect Sabine...
Possibilities are endless. I do hope that Kaylee just dumps Nash. He is not good for her! Everything about him says selfish and undeserving. And if Rachel hooks her up with Todd, how the hell would that work? He is...more

* contain slight spoilers*
Prior to If I Die, Soul Screamers had always been a B series for me. When the books came out they were never must reads and I was never totally invested in them like some other series.
If I Die changed all that. In this book Rachel Vincent upped the ante in a major way and this series has become one of my favorites in the genre.

Updated!!
Before reading...
I was just wondering about the speculation of a possible relationship between Tod and Kaylee, and how the best way to make it work would be -and according to some will be- her turning into a reaper.
And while I agree that there is probably something there between Kaylee and Tod even though Kaylee is too involved with Nash to notice and Tod is probably in denial.

If you haven't read books 1-4, be aware that this will totally be spoilery for you!
This is going to be a very messy review. It cannot be helped!
If I Die takes place just a few weeks after the events of My Soul to Steal. Sabine is still in the picture and a constant annoyance for Kaylee and Nash's relationship. Just as Kaylee begins to think things may be settling down, the new math teacher, Mr. Beck, turns out to be something other tha...more

I know I’m a broken record, but when I said that My Soul to Steal was my favorite, I really meant If I Die! No, seriously! This one is my favorite!
This story was INSANE! INSANE, people! DID not see any of that coming. Seriously I think that my mouth was open in shock throughout this entire novel. Rachel Vincent brought it all out for this novel. Emotional roller-coaster is an understatement.

Oh. My. God. BEST BOOK EVER!! Seriously, for all Tod fans out there - you will LOVE this book! Ever since "My Soul to Steal", I'd pretty much been thinking: "Awww! Why does Nash get the girls fighting over him? TOD IS SO MUCH MORE AMAZING. And yet so alone..."
Oh, how I adore him. :)
Not that I didn't feel terrible for Nash when (view spoiler) but, to be honest, I was mostly just happy for Tod. After all, he HAS been waiting a...more

In the acknowledgments, Rachel states that she always says "this is her best one yet!" but with this one... She is 826% correct! IF I DIE was outstanding, it truly was the best one yet. If I Die had everything you could have ever asked for: romance, anger, death, heartbreak, struggles, laughs, triumphs, fights, and super smexy times! I could have not asked for a better fifth book. I am anxiously waiting for BEFORE I WAKE because I absolutely need more an cannot wait to see what happens next. TOD...more

I don't know how to even begin with this one... Can you love and hate a book at the same time? Ok hate is the wrong word... Not sure what the right word is!
I rarely buy books at full price but this was one I purchased as soon as I finished the 4th book in the series, that is saying something for this series.
I admit Rachel Vincent is an amazing writer. She knows how to manipulate my emotions and make me half crazy. Seriously that doesn't happen very often.I made it half way through this book to a...more

Oh to put in words how I feel...there are none. but I will say this:
1) *smacks Nash*
2) *punches Nash cause Sab didn't do it hard enough in my opinion*
3) *wonders what Kaylee is thinking bout*
4) *supports the kiss*
5) *Cheers on Levi* I do this because Levi is one of those people you love to hate. I can't say why though.
6) Tod I want to make you a banner! Your lines in here were really funny. Talking about how 'functional' you are cause of Emma's comments.

OOOOOOHHH!! Maybe author gave in to requests of the masses, maybe she planned this outcome all along, whatever the way, I thank her for giving me what I hoped would happen so much and didn't dare to believe that it could, I thank her for breaking this pattern of YA authors, which is that the first boy a heroine meets is "the one".
I thank her also for explaining Nash's character better to me, I didn't understand him, I didn't relate to him before, he seemed like a cartoon - drawn character, that...more

Ok I am looking forward to this book I have read all of the others. I don't know what will happen in the book but I do hope that Kaylee and Nash have a chance with their relationship. The reason I say that is because every relationship goes through rough times and at that age it is going to happen. Nash in my opinion is not a horrible guy and if you think he is Tod is not much better and neither is Alec. So if you are hoping that Kaylee will end up with a good guy then you should be thinking abo...more

If I Die è il libro che aspettavo con più ansia di tutta la serie.
Emozionante, divertente, pieno di mistero e avventura, senza dimenticare gli intrighi amorosi che non guastano mai.
Trama avvincente e innovativa, in grado di dare una nuova sferzata alla serie, rendendola originale e imprevedibile rispetto ad altre serie che, essendo composte da molti libri, arrivano ad annoiare il lettore proponendo avvenimenti forzati e banali.
