Die for Me (Revenants, #1)

by Amy Plum (Goodreads Author)
it was beautiful! oh, I wish I lived in Paris! such a great spin on the supernatural. really, a breath of fresh air. hope there's more. it almost ended as a stand alone would, with everything wrapped up nicely but not drawn out, though I do hope we get more of this world and it's characters.
Lovely!
I thought it was really beautiful! Such a great spin on the supernatural/paranormal teen romance.
A breath of fresh air, but I am worried that there might be a lot of bashing when it comes out. Lots of Twilight haters are going to be scraping similarities between the two books together, and I'm afraid some people won't pick it up because of that. I just can't see how a book that sold almost 50 million copies is bad, and that anything written afterward with any kind of the same idea is ripping it off.
Anyway, the things that I'm afraid people will be turned off by are that the main love interest is a dark and brooding supernatural being. One that the protagonist is instantly attracted to and then spends a lot of time trying to figure out what he is. Then there is the rich supernatural family that lives in a beautiful house, some of which may or may not like her. And finally, Die For Me is more of a teen romance with a supernatural spin. It is a character driven story and you want to learn more about them, instead of just wanting more action.
Okay, so other than that there is NO similarities. They are NOT vampires. Plain and simple they are something even cooler. The mythology behind the story is well thought out and makes sense. Everything flowed well and I didn't get confused at any point in the explanation. I hate when I can't grasp some part of a storyline and then I stumble along trying to figure out what's going on.
The Revenant world is well plotted and I look forward to reading more. Die For Me ends almost as a stand alone would, with everything wrapped up nicely but not drawn out, and I can't wait to get more of this world and it's characters. If you're a fan of paranormal teen romance then this is right up your alley. There is action and suspense and fighting, all that good stuff, but mostly it is a beautiful love story. One that I hope to enjoy again and again.
5/5 Stars!
