The finely drawn characters capture readers’ attention in this debut.Īutumn and Phineas, nicknamed Finny, were born a week apart their mothers are still best friends. Several of the characters stand out as interesting individuals, enhancing the entertainment value in the story, along with a few good action scenes. The suspense takes precedence over the romance as Kate follows clues, first to find more information on revenants and then to uncover the spy in their midst. Plum handles the intrigue and builds tension, ending with a major cliffhanger that should compel readers to the final book in the trilogy. Worse, it seems that a spy has infiltrated the revenant community. She knows that she will age and die as Vincent stays young, and the two seek different ways to overcome that difficulty. Kate lives with her French grandparents but spends much time training for combat with the revenants, who have accepted her. Alas, it actually looks like it’s fairly easy to kill revenants, despite their “immortality,” a bit of a flaw in the book’s premise. Human Kate and revenant Vincent fell in love in the first book here they fight the numa, similar but evil undead who plot to kill revenants. These undead creatures have become mostly immortal by sacrificing their own lives to save others. Another human-undead romance produces some good entertainment in this second of a trilogy involving “revenants” in Paris.
