Too busy studying for exams to write a review. Will probably resume reviews after Jan. 28.

I'm on the fence.

This was the book that made me fall in LOVE with Paris and with reading. One of my all time favourites, the writing style is simple enough to make it so easy for you to get out of a reading slump.

3/10
Good premise and a decent ending but the middle 200ish pages were an unorganized mess. Poor writing plagues the entire book but especially in the middle, where the story just flounders and stalls.
Every time Vincent is described its like This Beautiful Well-Chiseled Adonis but every time Kate sees him. I get that he's hot but it gets very redundant after 100 pages of her just fawning over how hot he is. I couldn't like Vincent. Undying (pun intended) love for Kate is nice but he traumatizes her in the middle of TWO separate dates and then keeps acting dodgy after explaining how his undeadliness works. Climax was predictable but still had a little nuance to it.

For the people who LOVED the Twilight series, you might like this. Just not for me.

An interesting take on a supernatural love story -- this time the non-humans are 'revenants,' (basically a type of zombie, but without the brain eating) and the setting is modern day Paris. The main character, Kate, and her older sister, Georgia, move to their grandparents' home in the city of light after their parents are killed in an accident. It's there that Kate meets Vincent and discovers the unusual abilities he and his housemates share.

At times, certain plot elements or turns of phrase make it obvious that this was Plum's first book, but the story was interesting enough that I'll probably read the second book in the series -- if my public library gets the ebook version.

theres soo gonna be another one

I am without words for the awfulness that is this book

3.5 I almost gave up a couple times, and I am still not sold over the writing, but the plot, the character and even the writing style began to flow easier as the story progressed.

I am very glad I finished it and am firmly on Team Jules. Just saying.

Long Review TK

In this refreshing take on paranormal romance, Amy Plum encapsulates Parisian charm and teen romance in her debut novel, the first in the Revenants series. In the novel, American teenager Kate moves to Paris with her sister Georgia after both her parents die in a car crash in Brooklyn. As Kate struggles to cope with the deaths of her parents, she manages to find morsels of solace at a Parisian cafe not far from her grandparents' apartment. When Kate notices a strikingly handsome and mysterious stranger, she can't help but be allured by his seductive charm and finds herself running into him all over Paris. However, things are not always what they seem, as Kate soon discovers. She finds herself drawn into the world of the paranormal, fighting to save Vincent, the mysterious stranger and boy of her dreams.

AMAZING book! Super romantic but doesn't make the girl look weak at all. Maybe slightly cheesy but it was the good cheesy. The only problem is that this guy doesn't really exist.
