If I Should Die

By: Amy Plum

Narrated by: Julia Whelan

If I Should Die delivers a stunning, deeply satisfying conclusion to the international bestselling Die for Me series by Amy Plum. VOYA raved, "There is plenty of romance, danger, and unpredictable turns against a backdrop of Paris. Those looking for something beyond the Twilight series will enjoy these fast reads about immortals."

Kate is devastated. Her boyfriend, Vincent, is a revenant who has waited lifetimes to find her. But once he did their future together was shattered almost immediately. They were betrayed by a trusted ally who killed Vincent and destroyed his body so that he could not be reanimated. Now Vincent is doomed to roam the earth as a spirit. But Kate isn't willing to accept life without her true love. She'll risk anything to save him, even as their friend-turned-enemy begins to wage a war to rule over France's immortals.

Amy Plum created an intricate, original mythology for this young adult paranormal series. The books, set in the City of Lights, introduce readers to revenants, undead beings who must sacrifice themselves again and again to save the lives of strangers.

This paperback edition also includes a never-before-seen epilogue, a Q&A with the author, the official If I Should Die playlist, discussion questions, a preview of Amy Plum's next novel, and more!

Great Conclusion to the Trilogy

This was a great ending to a fabulous trilogy. There are enough minor threads left that I think she could definitely write more in this world but all of the major plotlines are answered. This was a new take on the zombie idea and I really enjoyed it. I liked that the two main characters can stand on their own apart from each other and aren't dependent on the other for everything. I did see the major plot twist coming but I didn't see how it came about and the way it was done really surprised me. I loved all of the characters in the whole trilogy and I liked the new ones we got to see here. I would definitely read the next thing Amy Plum writes. I thought Julia Whelan did a great job as a narrator. Her French pronunciation sounded great to me (although how would I really know) and I could always tell who was speaking. I'm a little sad that the trilogy is finished. I would like to know what happens next.

Addictive until the very end.

Would you listen to If I Should Die again? Why?

Yes I would. I enjoyed this whole world that Amy Plum has created. I love the Paris setting, the adorable characters and the new spin with something other than vampires and werewolves. Julia Whelan is an exceptional narrator. She has different voices for all her characters which really brings them to life. All three books are well narrated and well written.

Who was your favorite character and why?

So hard to choose... I love Jules, but that's the artist in me.

Which scene was your favorite?

Spoiler Alert... When they finally figure out how to bring Vincent back.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Pretty darn close to crying at the beginning of the book, but that would be strange since I'm at work. Later, I sat at my desk going I knew it, I KNEW IT!!!!

Any additional comments?

I recommend this book for all to enjoy. I listen to all sorts of bookgenres, and this series was one of the best that I have listened to lately.

Wasn't ready for it to end

Loved the whole series. I would really love if they made a movie from it.
This is my 5th book narrated by Julia Whelan and I enjoy her voice.

Predictable

The first two books were great but this one was just so predictable. From the set up of the first handful of chapters and from the previous books, it's pretty obvious what is going to happen. Everything fits neatly together at the end, which is okay, but I wish it was a little more unexpected or there were more twists getting there.

Predictable & a little boring

Sigh. I really enjoyed book 1 & 2 but this one was so obvious at what was going to happen, i lost interest. Also the amount of research they had to do made the first act of the story very boring. While it makes sense, it's hard to listen to. The series is overall good but the finale could've been better.
