Review: A Fantastic Read!

I have to admit, I was a little hesitant to read Die for Her. Mainly because the premise and plot for the novella is that Jules is in love with Kate. I've read the first two books in the Revenants series and although Jules openly flirts with Kate, I've never seen any more feelings from him beyond friendship. I wasn't sure how the author would be able to pull something like this off and make it believable to me, the reader.Die for Her centers on Jules. We see glimpses of his life while Vincent begins to fall in love with her, long before they met. We also read about how Jules feels for Kate and the realization that he can never have her. It explains his jokes, the flirting and how he's coming to terms with all that's happened around him. It is a rehash of the first two books in the novel, not a terrible idea to read before the newest book comes out next month, If I Should Die. Unlike most novellas, it is decent in length and does offer character insight, from someone that we already care about. It also is believable. Plum has the ability to show another side of a character we already know a little about, Jules. Her writing was captivating and definitely made me want to read more. The chapters were short, direct and to the point. I would recommend this before you pick up If I Should Die, next month. It also includes a little teaser from the next book in the series.
