If I Should Die by Amy Plum - ADVISABLE

Plum, Amy If I Should Die, 405 pgs.  HarperTeen, 2013.  $17.99  Content: Language: PG-13 (22 swears; 16 God); Mature Content: PG-13; Violence: PG-13.  

Kate is devastated since her boyfriend, Vincent, was burned and taken by a back-stabbing Revenant.  Revenants are people who have lived for a long time and spend their immortality saving humans from death, Vincent was also a Revenant and now that he has been burned, his immortal body is nothing but a ghost.  Luckily, Kate thinks she can find a way to bring Vincent back to human form.  Kate spends the bulk of this book researching a solution to Vincent’s death.  

This is the third and final book in the Revenants series.  Although the middle part of this third book is heavy in theories and research and lacking in action, the ending of the book makes up for the slow middle.  The characters in this series are fun to follow and the sweet romance between Vincent and Kate will snag any young adult girl reader. 

 MS, HS-ADVISABLE.  Reviewer, C. Peterson.
