Book Three |
If I Should Die is the final book in the unique Revenants
trilogy by Amy Plum. Revenants are zombie-like creatures committed to dying,
sacrificing themselves over and over again for the sake of the humans they are
sworn to protect.
Seventeen-year-old
Kate has forged a relationship with one: Vincent. They’ve endured a lot to be
together, and then the unthinkable happened. Violette, one of his own, betrayed
Vincent. He was killed and his body burned to ensure that he would be unable to
reanimate.
Kate
is not willing to let go. She is not going to accept that her beloved is doomed
to roam the earth as a disembodied spirit—not if she has anything to do with
it.
Kate
goes in search of an ancient ritual that may or may not be true. It holds the
only chance of bringing Vincent back to her. She finds herself positioned to
give her all and if she should die . . . that’s the chance she has to take.
This
last book does not disappoint. Each novel in the series ratchets up the action
and the tension. Amy Plum is to be congratulated for her creation of the Revenants.
It is a fresh and original mythology.
Ms.
Plum manages to keep the romantic element alive even though, through most of
the story, Vincent is in spirit form. It’s a credit to her skill at
characterization. The author also strikes a good balance between the romance
and the action of the story. If I Should
Die is well plotted with a final twist that will keep readers on their
toes.
I can't wait to see what Amy Plum will come up with next.
