My Thoughts:
Die for Me is a unique and exquisite story of a human girl who fell in love with a not-so-human boy in the beautiful city of Paris. With a strong lovely heroine and a delicious, breathtakingly handsome hero, fans of paranormal romance will be left longing for the next book.
Just as Kate is ready to start her life again after the devastating death of their parents, she met the mysterious and handsome boy Vincent, a revenant who's life is committed to saving humans from dying. Both of them needs salvation and the love that seems to be their only hope is something they can't risk.
Kate is a strong heroine, she's not annoying and she's very real. You can easily relate to her and to her sister Georgia. You'll love Vincent, Kate's beloved. He's another hot guy you'll fall in love with! Mysterious and broken, a bit of a bad boy and oh so romantic! I think one reason why I enjoyed this book so much is because of the fabulous set of characters! They all have an amazing personality that make them so likable. I was also impressed by how the author created a new variety of zombies--charming and devastatingly beautiful beings that you would eagerly want to devour!
Reading this book is like breathing a bit of fresh air... new and unique. It is well blended with paranormal romance in a realistic setting that make the story believable. It is rich and very well written. You wouldn't want to put this book down once you started it.
Die for Me is an engaging story with remarkably strong characters, beautiful setting, and a rich wonderful romance. I totally loved this book and I recommend it to those who love paranormal romance with a unique and exciting twist.

Oh, I've been dying to read this. Now I'm tempted to bump it up on my list so that it gets done this month. I didn't realize it was about Zombies. It would fit in perfectly with Zompacolypse. Hmm... I guess I'll have to do something about that the next time I order via Amazon.
ReplyDeleteHi Liza, April, and Kathy =) Thanks for stopping by. Yep, this book is really good. I didn't know that this is a zombie book until I read it. I thought the boy was a vampire! lol
