Die For Me by Amy Plum

Insert Name writes:

"Is the book Die For Me by Amy Plum worth reading? I like Vampires, but they're a bit passe now. Werewolves? Well, they're really just fancy dogs aren't they. Will I find something different in this book?"

Thank you Insert Name for not sending me this question. I hope I can help!

You're in luck. It just so happens that I have read Die For Me by Amy Plum (cute name, eh? Fruity) and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. As a professional book addict, I promise you that my recommendation is genuine and not influenced by the fact I was eating chocolate and lying in a hammock for most of the book.

I posted this review on Goodreads, which hopefully gives you your answer.


Die for Me (Revenants, #1)Die for Me by Amy Plum
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

**No spoilers** **No long rewrites of the blurb/synopsis**


Thank the faeries, someone has come up with something other than Werewolves and Vampires to keep us YA Paranormal fans happy.

The concept of Revenants (Angel-Zombie type people, mostly smoking-hot sexy) is a BRILLIANT one and provides so much scope for Amy's debut novel Die For Me. Romance, mystery, the all important I-love-you-but-I'm-no-good-for-you-so-you-should-run reason.


That would have been enough to keep me happy as a pig in jelly, but Ms Plum has piled on the reading goodness by setting the book in Paris!  C’est vrai!


How could you not want to read it? As the poet Kylie Minogue sang "Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi"

However, one bit of information I omitted in my review may influence your opinion of Amy Plum.

Amy lives in France. In the pretty countryside in a rambling farmhouse . And is married to a Frenchman.

Hopefully you too can set aside your feminine instincts (to claw her lucky-bitch eyes out with a stale, sharpened croissant) and still read her book. It's worth it.

***PS***
The sequel Until I Die is out the first half of 2012, but in the meantime here is a sneak peak at the sexy cover!

  1. Hi Monique,
    Thanks for your review on Die for Me. I really enjoyed the book and am now looking for some more light reading to fill the still-gaping Twilight void that just refuses to go away. What would you recommend?

  2. Hi Bel,

    Vampire Academy and the spin-off series Bloodline by Richelle Mead

    The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

    Matched by Ally Condie and the very-soon-but-not-soon-enough-to-be-released Crossed sequel. I really, really enjoyed this and can't wait for the sequel.

    Similar distopian theme in Delerium by Lauren Oliver

    Bumped by Megan McCafferty. Seems like you wouldn't buy into it, but you do.

    Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor is getting lots of thumbs up, although I haven't read it.

    A Brief History of Montmaray by Michelle Cooper (an Aussie) is lovely and innocent. Second of the trilogy is also out now.

    I've just started reading Sucks to be Me by Kimberly Pauley and enjoying so far. Great voice and funny inner dialogue.

    That's all I can think of at the moment. If I remember some more I'll tell you.

    I've read a few more books recently but none that I would recommend particularly.
