After the death of their parents, Kate and Georgia move to Paris to be with there grandparents. It's been really hard on Kate and she can't seem to move past her parents absence but Georgia convinces her to get out there, meet people and live, it's what their parents would have wanted.
Sitting in a cafe, Kate looks up to see a very gorgeous guy sitting at a table, staring at her. For a moment it seems like Kate knew him, but she also sense something different and mysterious about him, something even...dangerous.
Wow! This was a great book!
Amy Plum writes a fantastically smooth story with an excellent fresh concept, adding a great twist to this particular paranormal. I loved how she totally owned this book, taking something that had been done before and turning it into something new and exciting.
I really enjoyed all the characters. There is something very alluring about Vincent, he's obviously swoon-worthy but I like the way he holds himself together. Kate is very practical person, maybe even a little pushy, but I like that determination in a character. She takes the everything in stride at first, but eventually her fears win out which were completely understandable. I was thrilled that Vincent found a way around the situation. Together they have a very natural chemistry, nothing overly rushed, just the way I like my love story, with lots of sweet moments to completely melt me. I also liked the other characters as well, Jules, Ambrose and Charlotte but I think Jules is my favorite, he has the big-bear brother thing going on that I find adorable. All of them are well developed and all have fun personalities.
Overall, Die For Me is a wonderful start to a new series that I can't wait to continue. It's charming and mysterious and fun and I simply can't wait for the next!
An amazing debut!

Alexa! I loved it. So much fun!Olivia! Jules is amazing. Vincent almost had some competition:) lol
Yaseena, hope you enjoy this. It was an instant favorite:)
Hey there I found this and had to share! It is a link to read a small person of this book from Vincent's POV, I fell in love with him even more after reading http://www.amyplumbooks.com/vincents-...
After writing on your wall I came to look and see if you read this. I found you have and I commented already.. tehehe Anywho I knew you would love this just as much as I did. The chemistry and romance was just how I liked it.
I too love Jules as well as the others and completely agree Plum "owns" this book. It was an awesome debut and one of my very favorites. Lots of swooning.
I have been emailing with the author she is pretty great. She would love for it to be picked up as a movie, how cool!!! I can't wait for the second of the series.
