If I Should Die Review!


If I Should Die - Amy Plum

'I will not lose another person I love. I will not let history repeat itself.

Vincent waited lifetimes to find me, but in an instant our future together was shattered. He was betrayed by someone we both called a friend, and I lost him. Now our enemy is determined to rule over France’s immortals, and willing to wage a war to get what they want.

It shouldn’t be possible, none of it should be, but this is my reality. I know Vincent is somewhere out there, I know he’s not completely gone, and I will do anything to save him.

After what we’ve already fought to achieve, a life without Vincent is unimaginable. He once swore to avoid dying—to go against his nature and forsake sacrificing himself for others—so that we could be together. How can I not risk everything to bring my love back to me?'


I have waited for what seems forever to read this book! I even had to wait a few weeks after it was actually released to read it! It was definitely well worth the wait! So this book 'If I Should Die' is book number three in the Revenants series written by Amy plum. The previous two books left us at a rather crucial place for a year whilst we waited for the final book to be released. 

If I Should Die starts off from where the second book 'Until I Die' left off. Vincent is gone, and there is no way of finding him in time, and an increasing threat from the numa is looming. With the help of her family and her revenant friends, Kate sets out to save Vincent and France's immortals.

The characters within the book are ones that we have met before in this series, but seeing as I have not done a review on this series before, I shall talk about them a little bit. Kate is our heroine, the main character who started out this entire series when her parents died and she moved to Paris with her sister.  Kate is a character that you feel for right at the beginning, and that doesn't stop in this book either. Vincent is another very important character that aids in revealing the world of France's immortals to Kate and the reader. These two main characters are definitely some of my favourites within this series and within this book, but they are not the only ones. I also really love Kate's sister as a character, as well as Jules (a revenant) Ambrose and Charlotte(another two revenants).

The storyline within this book is just as strong as the other two books in the series. It starts off at the pace that 'Until I Die' finishes at. It keeps you interested the whole way through, and it did not loose my attention at any point throughout the story. It kept my interest so well, which meant that I finished the book in a stupidly quick time!

The only real problem that I had with this book is the way it ended, not that it was a bad ending, but because it left me needing to know more, needing to know how Kate progressed as a revenant and how her and Vincent's relationship developed from that point. This was more of a problem for me because of the fact that this book is the last in this series, so we will never find any more of Kate's story.

I strongly recommend not just this book, but the entire series! There are three books and one novella in this series called 'Die For Me' #1, 'Until I Die' #2, 'If I Should Die' #3, and 'Die For Her' #2.5. If you like books that include romance, action and most importantly immortals, then the series is definitely for you! And if you have read all in the series but 'If I Should Die', then you wont need to be convinced to read this book, you will already be hooked!
Bye for now :)
