I will for sure be going to Kimberly Derting's event on Saturday the 28th.
Jennifer Shaw Wolf's Breaking Beautiful Debut Launch Party is on Tuesday the 24th, but I might be up on Cameo Island taking my cousin's senior portraits
Stephanie Perkins, Gayle Forman & Nina LaCour have an event on Thursday the 26th. I haven't decided on this event either. I attempted listening to Anna and the French Kiss, but I wasn't really digging it. I do own the 1st book of Forman, but I haven't read that one either. This all depends on what my plans end of being for the day.
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.
In Die for Me, Amy Plum created a captivating paranormal mythology with immortal revenants and a lush Paris setting. Until I Die is poised to thrill readers with more heart-pounding suspense, spellbinding romance, and a cliff-hanger ending that will leave them desperate for the third and final novel in the series.
What I Loved
Romance
Vincent and Kate are so perfect for each other. Their devotion and passion for one another is epic and touching.
I usually don't add quotes, but this one was so touching and displays the essence of their love I had to add it. "Watching him was enough. but after a moment he spoke. 'Kate, I've spent a lifetime waiting for you. Before I saw you, I hadn't cared for anyone for... well, for a god part of a century, and it felt like my heart had been permanently disconnected. I wasn't even looking anymore. And without expecting anything...without any hope at all, suddenly you were here.'" Characters
Kate: She impressed me immensely in Die For Me and she keeps on impressing me in Until I Die. She is learning to fight so she can protect herself, how freaking cool it that! I would love to be in her shoes and learning all the fight/defensive techniques. She continues to be rational when other characters are completely irrational.
Vincent: He is still himself and I still love his character. Story
Betrayal within the house, a curious absence of numa attacks, searching for a painless way for Kate and Vincent to be together without him having to suffer and an ending that rendered me speechless and it total shock. A never ending fight for love, the only thing in the world to fight for.
Killing Me
Oh my goodness I can't believe it ended like that. I think all authors like to torture their readers for the last book before the concluding book. I was so close to tears, I really need next year to get here now so I can have If I Should Die in my hands right now.
In keeping with the theme of my last post and choosing a song for the book. I also choose a song by the same band Within Temptation (they are awesome) the song is All I Need and I think it fits well with Kate and Vincent.
