If I Should Die by Amy Plum
4.0

The first half of this book dragged. Really, really dragged, and I still don’t know how I feel about that. But once it hit part 2, the story kicked up and I flew through the rest of the book.

The author’s writing is still great, and the dialogue is still slightly cheesy, but I do like the romance. The plot did go in a somewhat predictable direction, but I didn't really care. The ending was pretty awesome, if bittersweet, and I’d like to see a spinoff or something at some point because of how open the ending was. But at the same time I thought that this book was a good ending to Kate and Vincent’s story and a satisfying conclusion to the series.

I originally rated this book 5 stars, but dropped it to 4 after looking back and deciding that a book with a blah first half doesn't necessarily deserve 5 stars, even if the second half was phenomenal. So even though I really ended up liking it, 4 stars it is. I don’t have the heart to give it less.
