Kate and Vincent have overcome the odds and at last they are together in Paris, the city of lights and love.

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.

Amy has done it again with Until I Die. It picks right back up where Die For Me ended and we are thrown right back into the lives of Kate and Vincent in our lovely Paris setting. We learned a bit of what being a Revenant was like in Die For Me but Amy delves more into their background in Until I Die. All the questions that I had when Die For Me ended was answered in this sequel and I loved every bit of it.

We have the same characters and we’re introduced into some older Revenants which gave the story a wonderful twist. I will have to say that I still love me some Jules and Ambrose, if anything happens to them my heart my just shatter and they aren’t the main ones in the story! The love that Kate and Vincent have it something that is defying what Vincent is; as he is trying so hard to fight his instincts to save people to stay with Kate. Kate is a strong character and once she has her mind made up she is going to do what she set out to do with no one stopping her.

I thought the pacing was perfect as we are given background information, some history, new characters and a bit of their history all while seeing Kate and Vincent’s relationship go through a bump shall we call it. We got to see plenty of action and the consequences to some choices that were made in Die For Me.

Now the ending…well let’s just say that Amy knows how to keep us interested and anxiously awaiting the third and final novel to the series, If I Should Die. This is definitely a great middle book between the series, it fills the reader in with so much information and the leaves you breathless at the end begging to get your hands on the last installment. If you haven’t read this series yet, it’s a must. The plot line is great and the twist throughout both books so far has been amazing. I can’t wait to see what Amy has in store for us in If I Should Die.
