Summary
At last Kate and Vincent are together in Paris, the city of lights and love. Vincent promises to do whatever it takes to lead a normal life with Kate, but will that mean letting innocent people die? When a new and surprising enemy reveals itself, Kate realizes that even more may be at state that Vincent’s immortality is in jeopardy.
Until I Die will leave you questioning your priorities in life; just what would you do for the one you love when everything around you is threatened by the inevitable.
The second book in Amy Plum’s Revenants series left me a bit iffy. Before I get into my reasons why, let me just point out that if you haven’t read Die For Me you’ll be somewhat lost for the most part. So I recommend doing just that before going into the next. Its only natural that you understand what’s going on before moving on. Continue reading “Book Review – ‘Until I Die’ by Amy Plum”
Hemlock could be the perfect town, aside from the fact that its swarmed with werewolves.

Mackenzie and Amy were inseparable until Amy was brutally killed by a werewolf. Now, Mac is determined to find her best friend’s killer and put an end to her horrifying dreams, but what she doesn’t know is that the killer is closer to her than she thinks.
Kathleen Peacock delivers a suspenseful, mysterious, and romantic urban fantasy that will leave you blindsided.
