Kate Mercier's wonderfully normal teenage life comes crashing down when her parents are killed in a car accident. Suddenly, she and her sister, Georgia, are forced to leave everything they've ever known in America and move to Paris to live with their grandparents. For Kate, the only way to survive is by sealing off her heart and escaping into the comforting world of books and beautiful art.Until she meets Vincent.
Mysterious, charming, and devastatingly handsome Vincent threatens to melt the ice around Kate's guarded heart with just his smile. He also happens to be one of an elite race of paranormal beings known as revenants - undead creatures who exist to sacrifice themselves over and over again in place of other humans whose time to die has not yet come.
As Kate's attraction to Vincent grows, she must choose between the shattered life she was trying to rebuild and the risks of loving again. But when she learns that her sister has become involved with a group of evil revenants who exist solely to murder and betray those around them, Kate is thrown into the midst of a centuries-old battle which threatens the lives of everyone she loves.

Oh, people. If you are not standing in line to buy this book THE MOMENT it releases, you'll be missing out.I was completely enchanted (enchanté, if you will) (sorry if that's wrong, I speak Spanish, not French) from page one of this lovely novel set in Paris. Kate, the main character, is easy to connect with; Vincent, the handsome love interest, is as strong, charismatic, and chivalrous as they come. Plot elements tie together smoothly for an engaging read that will keep you sucked in until the very last page. Loved it! Well done Ms. Plum, and congratulations on your debut!
