Both make awesome supporting characters, and it’s nice that we got to see more of them and weren’t so focused on Kate/Vincent.

We get to know Kate’s sister, Georgia, and Vincent’s friend, Jules, a lot better. The addition of the new characters and higher involvement of the old ones brought a lot to the story, and they definitely added some exciting twists and turns. We’re kept in the dark about what’s going on with Vincent, but what Kate’s doing happens to be infinitely more interesting and really moves the story along. And of course, Kate’s response is to create some secrets of her own. Vincent is a bit annoying with his refusal to tell Kate about his experiments, especially when it’s something that can affect their relationship. At first, I always thought that Vincent was a little too perfect, and now we get to see some flaws. Now that we know everyone and get the gist of the supernatural elements, the real story and action begins. Unlike the first book, I was completely riveted by Until I Die. Yet, he refuses to divulge the details of this “experiment.” Annoyed by Vincent’s secrets, Kate starts investigating into revenant/human relationship history on her own, which can lead to some very dangerous situations. All the while, Vincent is trying out an experiment to help him resist the urge of dying for Kate’s sake. But things start to taper off as the revenants try to figure out the sudden disappearance of the numa, their mortal enemies. Kate and Vincent are blissfully in love and learning to live life together as human and revenant. Until I Die picks up a little while after Die for Me ends. While Die for Me set up the revenants (a way nicer version of zombies), characters and all that, Until I Die really puts it all into action with brisk and intriguing storytelling. Until I Die is a big improvement over the first book. Luckily, Die for Me had an interesting enough story that led me to immediately want to follow it up with its newly released sequel. When I heard that Die for Me, a popular YA book, was set there, well, I couldn’t help but want to read it, even though I hardly knew anything about it. It seems that I rarely get opportunities to read stories based in France. I love Paris and am kind of obsessed with it. The Revenants series first attracted me with its setting: Paris.
