If I Should Die

By: Amy Plum

Narrated by: Julia Whelan

Length: 11 hrs and 7 mins

Publisher's Summary

I will not lose another person I love. I will not let history repeat itself.

Vincent waited lifetimes to find me, but in an instant our future together has been shattered. He was betrayed by Violette, someone we both called a friend, and I lost him. Now Violette is determined to rule over France's immortals, and she's willing to wage a war to get what she wants.

It shouldn't be possible, none of it should be, but this is my reality. I know Vincent is somewhere out there, I know he's not completely gone, and I will do anything to save him.

After what we've already fought to achieve, a life without Vincent is unimaginable. He once swore to avoid dying - to go against his nature and forsake sacrificing himself for others - so that we could be together. How can I not risk everything to bring my love back to me?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
