Goodreads Summary: My life had always been blissfully, wonderfully normal. But it only took one moment to change everything.

Suddenly, my sister, Georgia, and I were orphans. We put our lives into storage and moved to Paris to live with my grandparents. And I knew my shattered heart, my shattered life, would never feel normal again. Then I met Vincent.

Mysterious, sexy, and unnervingly charming, Vincent Delacroix appeared out of nowhere and swept me off my feet. Just like that, I was in danger of losing my heart all over again. But I was ready to let it happen.

Of course, nothing is ever that easy. Because Vincent is no normal human. He has a terrifying destiny, one that puts his life at risk every day. He also has enemies . . . immortal, murderous enemies who are determined to destroy him and all of his kind.

While I’m fighting to piece together the remnants of my life, can I risk putting my heart—as well as my life and my family’s—in jeopardy for a chance at love?

I didn’t like Die For Me.  It’s an interesting idea, dying for people so they can have another chance at life.  While Vincent and his family aren’t true zombies, it is what they call themselves.

I found that things only picked up towards the end, but by then, I didn’t really care about what happened.  I was kind of bored when reading Die For Me.  Even the battle was a lot more boring than I expected.

As for the characters, I didn’t particularly care about any of them.  I felt like I didn’t really get to know them.  Kate was especially boring, and I just felt like something was missing from every single character.

I loved the setting- it felt like Plum just loves Paris, which you can tell by the way everything is described.  It’s always cool when a book takes place in a different country.  Paris is such a good setting, and while we see a lot of it, it somehow felt like we didn’t see a lot of Paris.

The reason for Kate and Georgia moving to Paris didn’t feel like a big deal.  Their parents died, and while they move to Paris to live with their grandparents, it felt really forced.  Like Plum just picked the reason out of a hat or something.

I give it a 1 out of 5.  It’s an interesting idea, but I was bored reading it.
