Die For Me by Amy Plum

Summary!
Die For Me is all about finding your true love. Kate Mercier is still devastated from the recent loss of her parents when she and her sister Georgia move to France to live with their grandparents. Just when Kate thought she would never be able to move on, she meets drop dead gorgeous Vincent Delacroix. Both of them love each other a lot, but there is a slight problem. Well...more than just slight. Vincent is not human, he is a revenant, or undead and immortal. Vincent and his "family" of revenents- Charles, Charlotte, Jules, Ambrose, Jean-Bapiste, and Gasprel- can have multiple deaths but they won't really die. But unlike vampires or werewolves, revenants use this special ability to save human beings in danger. Because when they die, revenants can come back to life as good as new in the short time of three days whereas human beings can't. Charles, Charlotte, Jules, Ambrose, JB, Gasprel, and Vincent have all been human, but after their first death they came back to life. So all of them are hundreds of years old, although they don't look like it. No one knows why certain people are relevants and others aren't, you are just chosen. Only a few humans know about the relevants. The immortal clan made an exception and told Kate the truth upon Vincent's insistence. Kate didn't mind what Vincent was, she loved him. They all become really good friends and can trust and rely on each other. But this isn't the happy ending for Kate and Vincent. There are two types of revenants- the good kind that go out of their way to protect people and the Numa clan who kill people. Throughout the book, secrets about Vincent's past and human life are revealed. Both Vincent and Lucien had a bitter relationship in their human life and are still seeking revenge on each other. Lucien is the head of the evil Numa clan and both the good relevants and Numas are bent upon destroying each other. There is only one way to destroy a relevant, kill them and then burn the body. In this fight, Lucien sees Kate as Vincent's weakness. Will these star crossed lovers be able to survive the battle together? 
My Review!
OMG! I devoured this book in two days! It was amazing! Amy Plum's writing style makes you feel like you are really there or watching the book play out as a movie. Her writing is descriptive, emotional, and dramatic. She did a fabulous job with this book. It was something new to read after all of the twilight vampires and werewolves. I would recommend this book to all tweens and teens. I rate this book 4/5 stars, because it was good but not great.
