Harper C.: Five Book Friday: Uncanny Graphic Novels (0 comment)
We are in the thick of winter here in the Pacific Northwest, which means it's dark, damp, and chilly. Rather than escaping to stories with warmer, brighter climates, I personally want nothing more than to dive deep into gothic and uncanny fiction as the wind rattles my windows at night...

Publisher Comments

I wish there was only today, just right now, and no forever.

It seems fitting that I fell in love in Paris, the most beautiful city in the world. And if I pretend, I can almost believe that my life is normal and everyone I care about is safe.

But as long as Im with Vincent, “normal” doesnt exist. Gorgeous, charming, and witty, hes everything you could ask for in a boyfriend—but his destiny is so much more.

Even more terrifying than his destiny are his dangerous enemies, enemies who will kill for immortality. How are Vincent and I supposed to be together forever if were always in danger?

I know Ill do whatever it takes—even if it means lying to the people I love—to fight against a fate that is trying to tear us apart.

Kate and Vincent are one of the most adorable couples ever! X) I couldn't help, but smile at their adorable-ness. Kate was sometimes a bit annoying, because she spoiled the mood often by bringing up revenant related stuff. I get that she wants to know more about her boyfriend's kindred, but did she always have to be such a party pooper? Other than that, though, she was still pretty awesome. And Vincent... Oh, dear. He's "handsome, chivalrous, and witty." (I'm quoting the jacket flap.) He's such a gentleman to Kate, it's incredibly sweet. A lot of the characters had at least one Drama Queen/King moment. By Drama Q/K moment, I mean that they overreacted big time on something that didn't seem that important. As for the plot, I think a bit more complexity would have been nice, but it was overall interesting enough to keep me reading. The numa are very underground for most of the time in this book, so you don't get to see much of them, and therefore, there's not much action. But, in the scenes that did have action, it was incredible. Kate was so bad-(fill in the blank, guys, because I'm not going to say that word). And the ending! WHY?!?!?! It was like the ending for City of Fallen Angels ALL OVER AGAIN! Poor Kate and Vincent.... Until I Die was an amazing read, especially because I got to go back into the world of revenants. I seriously can't wait for the next (and last) book in the series, If I Should Die. Hwa Sun :)

Until I Die picks up where If I Die left off, Kate is enjoying her new life in the company of the Revenants, Kate loves spending all of her free time with Vincent. Until I Die questions the characters on how far will they go for love and what will that love cost them. Kate, with a history of death close behind her, has continued in her promise in asking Vincent to not die anymore for her own personal fears, and Vincent struggles with his Revenant nature to keep himself to his promise. A Revenant requires a continual cycle of death and rebirth in a way to keep them together and sane, but holding himself from this cycle is costing Vincent his very being and his obligations to save humans in the long run. Vincent is hiding things from Kate in Until I Die and these secrets could cost them their love and their lives if it continues. Vincent is holding himself silent in a secret experiment to hold off his very Revenant nature and not die for Kate, but also in this process Vincent is feeling exhausted and looks haggard. Keeping to himself more, Vincent is sending other Revenants out to chaperone Kate. Kate is finding herself alone more frequently and begins to develops a friendship with the newly arrived Revenant Violette. Violette is an intriguing character that harbors some kind of secret or agenda that Kate has not yet discovered by for the mean time Kate is using her vast years I knowledge to uncover a hidden cure in possible Revenant history. Armed with ancient texts Kate is struggling to find a cure for her own humanness and Vincent's required dying that would be able to keep them together. Her current studies are casting a dark light for Kate in that there is no simple cure for what ails the relationships of Revenant and humans, but will Kate Nd Vincent survive the secrecy and distance that is growing between them? One must not forget the Numa in all of this because while part of the book they lie dormant there is always a calm before the storm. As Kate studies histories and texts she finds that the Revenants that she knows may not be do far from the Numa that hunts them. This current animosity between races has not always been, and Kate questions the similarities between Numa and Revenant and what from their combined past has set off this current set of attacks. What comes of the new Numa activity will soon cause rift between Kate and Vincent that tears through their lives and their love. When the begin hunting items that he Revenants have no figured out, and this search crossed paths with Kate's own research everyone is dancing on the edge of a blade to save each other and themselves from a long dormant prophecy surround the Revenant myth of a Champion. Amy Plum has continued the tale of the Revenants and the humans surrounding them in Until I Die with a series of questions and danger. How far can love take us? And to what cost would we pay to protect it. When Kate finds herself in trouble will she be strong enough to protect herself and can her choices threaten other? Until I Die is a breathtaking story of love and the struggle to overcome our own emotions and embrace the moment because we never know how long we have I this life, and some people are more precious to us than others.

As their romance deepens there’s one question they can’t ignore: How are they supposed to be together if Vincent can’t resist sacrificing himself to save others? Although Vincent promises that he’ll do whatever it takes to lead a normal life with Kate, will that mean letting innocent people die? When a new and surprising enemy reveals itself, Kate realizes that even more may be at stake�"and that Vincent’s immortality is in jeopardy. In Die for Me, Amy Plum created a captivating paranormal mythology with immortal revenants and a lush Paris setting. Until I Die is poised to thrill readers with more heart-pounding suspense, spellbinding romance, and a cliff-hanger ending that will leave them desperate for the third and final novel in the series. (Synopsis provided by goodreads) WOW! This book blew me away. After book one which I loved I was really excited to get my hands on this one. This book picks up just after the ending of book one, Plum glosses over the events in book one in about half a page scattered throughout book two. (I do recommend you read book one before picking up book 2.) We meet our heros again and we learn more about the revenants and the numa in this one then we did before. Their history really comes alive in this one! We also get to learn a little more about Jules and his human life, which was awesome. Though I admit I am a Vincent fan girl all the way! We get to see him grow as a character and we learn some surprising and great information about him that we never knew before. This book for me was an emotional roller-coaster, there were twists and turns, some I guessed, some I didn't. I was literally laughing out loud, sighing, saying things like "Aw, that is so sweet!" and the very next page I was shouting "Holy Shit no way!" By the end of this book I was crying thinking, no it did not just end like that, I keep picking it up hoping that magically there will be one more paragraph to let me know what happens to Kate and Vincent. I've never wanted the last book in a series this much. If you liked Die for me you will LOVE Until I die. Both are great books, but with this installment Plum has shown she is a literary force that will go far. The wait for book three will be a long one for fans after that massive cliff hanger ending.
