I felt like the characters were pretty bland and I didn't get the attraction. Plus, Vincent was a total stalker and it felt weird. I think there is even a part where she asks him if he likes her so much because he saved her life or just because. I liked the book, but I thought it could have been done better. I had actually heard of Revenants before this, but I didn't like how Plum turned them into what she did. Excellent review, Rummanah!

Honestly, it's just so prominent these days that I can barely stomach it at all anymore! I don't think this one is for me, but I appreciate how well you articulated your take on it :)Melissa (i swim for oceans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06840790603713851746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-56091216798946529822011-09-09T12:30:02.136-05:002011-09-09T12:30:02.136-05:00I enjoyed Die for Me quite a bit.

I really liked the unique concept of Revenants, and the romance between Vincent and Kate seemed genuine to me (though I agree that they didn't stand out much as characters). But to each her own. :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts!Lauren Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05749629168151466704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-26919733327427726572011-09-09T09:30:05.035-05:002011-09-09T09:30:05.035-05:00Hmmmm... it sounds like with the revenants the aut...Hmmmm... it sounds like with the revenants the author was trying to do something different by combined multiple supernatural entities, but it didn't really work so well. I'd prefer to keep them distinct in my mind too, so Vincent is not sounding particularly appealing to me. <br /><br />Believe me, I'm not one who wants to meet a literary crush and think "Ewww!" So yeah, I'll be skipping out on this one for now. Thanks for your honest thoughts on this one, very helpful review!Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.com
