"Die For Me" by Amy Plum

"Die For Me" by Amy Plum, 344 pages
Book 1 of the series

Kate and Georgia have moved to Paris, France, to live with their grandparents following the death of their parents. Georgia is a heavy party girl and expresses her grief by continuing her party lifestyle. Kate is more of an introvert and grieves silently in books, museums and French cafes. One day, she meets a stranger who just happens to be immortal. Obviously there is something more there and within a few chapters they are deeply in love. Never mind that she sees him do some amazing inhuman things as well as witnesses his friend die and come back to life. She's in love and although she freaks for a few pages, she decides he's worth it and absolutely nothing else matters. As Gomer Pyle would say, "Surprise! Surprise!" This novel while well-written smacks loudly of "Twilight" meets the "Mortal Instruments" series. However, I have to give credit for the storyline behind the immortality. It was very creative. I also like how the writer brought Georgia into the story though the book is told in first person by Kate. In a nutshell - Kate falls for "Mr. Right", Georgia falls for "Mr. Wrong." What happens when two sisters who are very close date very different guys who happen to be immortal enemies? You'll have to read the series to find out.
