I am just amazed. I love, love, love this series! I am upset that this is the end. But I will revisit these characters. I cannot recommend these books enough.

Une bonne fin pour cette saga ! Malgré le fait qu'il soit prévisible à bien des égards avec des révélations qui n'en était pas vraiment, l'auteur à su bien terminé son histoire avec une très belle fin !
Petite déception cependant pour la fin, qui pour moi comporte une mort assez.. inutile.

A good ending to a good trilogy. Unfortunately, I did n't care for the ending for one of my favorite characters. Maybe the author will pick up his story in another book or novella??!! This was the first full length book I read on the Kindle and did not like it, I may have liked this book more had it actually been a paper book.

This is the concluding book in the Revenants Trilogy. I know that the price of a book should not effect my attitude towards the book when reviewing it but with the books in this series, I could not stop myself from considering whether the ebook was worth the price tag. I really enjoyed this book. The characters were likeable and the side stories were enjoyable. There were no real surprises but this is a lovely romance. To me there was one major flaw in the story.
I could not believe there was a need for a champion at this time in history. The champion is suppose to appear when needed the most. Surely a world war would have been more appropriate than a skirmish in Paris.
Spoiler Was this book worth the $12+ price for an ebook? I honestly can't decide and

The worst part about finding a series that you really love is knowing that someday it will end. That was my dilemma with If I Should Die. It was hard to turn the page knowing that I was that much closer to saying goodbye to Kate and Vincent. At least I could console myself with an awesome book.

Until I Die left us hanging onto the edge of a cliff for dear life. If I Should Die doesn't waste time with back-story. Instead, the first few pages pushes us right off that cliff into a terrifying free fall. The obstacles separating Kate and Vincent seem irreparable, but are they?

It's hard to go too much into the plot of If I Should Die, because everything would be a spoiler. Suffice it to say that the characters encounter one problem after another. I spent hours glued to my iPhone sitting on the couch, because I just had to know what was going to happen. I loved the direction the plot took. I guessed the basic details pretty early on in the book. While it's nice to be surprised, it's even better to see a story unfold exactly the way you want it to.

If I Should Die delves deeply into revenant history and makes these altruistic zombies feel even more mystical. One of my favorite things about this series is the originality of the paranormal creatures. It's refreshing to read about something other than vampires, angels, witches, or zombies (well, traditional bad zombies). The revenants have a rich backstory and Amy presents in a manner that makes it easy to forget that they're not real.

I'm devastated to say goodbye to Kate, Vincent, Jules, Ambrose, Charlotte, Charles, Gaspard, Jean Baptiste, Jeanne, Arthur, Genevieve, Bran, Georgia, Mamie, and Papy. The Revenants series has a huge cast of characters. I've come to know and love all of them. I would love for Amy to continue writing in the revenant world. There are so many things I still want to know. I can see good options for a spin-off or even more books from Kate's perspective. I really don't want this to be the end.

If I Should Die finishes the Revenants series at a high point. Amy captured my heart with Die For Me. Until I Die was a good continuation, but If I Should Die stands alongside Die For Me on my rare multiple re-read shelf. I really can't recommend If I Should Die and the whole Revenants series highly enough.

Rating: 4.5 / 5

I recommend the audio version of this book. It really makes this turn into the soap opera that it really seems to be.

3.5 stars - I enjoyed the story a lot. Somehow I kinda guessed some of the major plot lines, which doesn't usually happen, so it was a bit predictable for me. Good ending to a good trilogy!
