After the tragic death of Kate Mercier's parents in a horrific car accident, Kate and her sister, Georgia left home and moved in with her grandparents in Paris, leaving their tainted life to start anew. Paris was beautiful, but it held no beauty for Kate who was still grieving for her loss.

Until someone beautiful walked into her life.

Vincent.

A mysterious, young man who possessed beautiful eyes, a look to die for. Someone who happens to die 3 days in a month, have the ability to float around, dormant and wakes up after 3 days. A revenant.

I'll Die For You:

1. I love this book for it's cover, who could resist a cover like this? And the title was catchy.

2. The beginning of the story attracted my interest, and the whole idea of Revenants was something new and refreshing, I am constantly seeking for new ideas and this came across as one. It was definitely a worthy read.

Revenants :

-Often compared to zombies, without the consuming flesh/decaying meat part.

-Remains dormant for three days. During that three day period, possesses the ability to foresee someone's death.

-Primary job? Saving those people.

-Hence every time they succeded in saving a soul? They die and is reborn again.

3. The characters were likable, and I do think that in this story, the minor characters added a major spark to the story. I found myself harbouring crushes for them and looking forward to reading more of them instead of going through the usual when-would-I-get-to-the-main-charrie rant.

In this case, I've read reviews that stated the side characters were more interesting than the main ones, I wouldn't say I completely disagree. Kate came across as someone who was a bit typical to me.

I would say I expected more from her and Vincent. I had looked forward to reading some intense discussion between those two (promising cover?) rather than going through the lust-at-first sight cliche, I was a bit disappointed. And Vincent, as much as I like his easygoing character, I honestly hoped he showed more of his mysterious side.

In Die for me, I was more fascinated by Jules, the flirty friend, Jean-Babtise, the man of the house, and Charles, the troubled revenant. Is this even normal?

Nevertheless, I can't wait for book two, and I can't wait for the cover too! I want to see how this story proceeds, I hope it doesn't disappoint me further.
