In the second installment of the series Die for Me, Kate and Vincent declare their love for each other and try to find a way to live a relatively normal life regardless of the fact that Vincent is a revenant.  Revenants are people who have died saving another’s life and because of their sacrifice they are immortal, but with that immortality comes the task of continuing to save people.  Vincent tries a new theory on how to stave off the desire to save others so that he and Kate can live a long life together, but along the way he becomes subject to the underhandedness of a trusted revenant.  Kate and Vincent both become targets of the enemy and their efforts to live together become more impossible than ever.  

I love the characters in this novel and I thought the storyline was very creative.  The girl character is as strong and independent as the boy and she is reasonable and believable.  I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.  I am hooked.
