Yeah—it’s a shock to her, too. So to distract herself, Kaylee’s going to save every girl in school. Because that hot new teacher is really an incubus who feeds on the desire of unsuspecting students. The only girls immune to his lure are Kaylee and Sabine, her boyfriend’s needy ex-girlfriend. Now the unlikely allies have to get rid of Mr. Beck…before he discovers they aren’t quite human, either.
But Kaylee’s borrowed lifeline is nearing its end. And those who care about her will do anything to save her life.
Anything.”
Will the real author please stand up? I mean really. If I could give an award for Best Author of the Year, I give to Ms. Rachel Vincent. Not because I am sucking up to her, but for real, her writing is amazing. So amazing that it will burn you with pure awesomeness! I admit that it took me soome time to gather up the guts to read this book. Why? I was scared. Why? Let’s just say that Ms. Vincent writing is so good, I was scared to read it. I had no idea where she take me next in her writing world, but I knew it would be one hell of a ride. And of course, like always, Ms. Vincent presented a ride I would never forget.
As I began this book, my heart raced. I was excited to see what would happen to my favorite characters and where they be going next. I don’t want to spoil everything so I am going to keep this review short. Should you read it? Hell-to-the-YES! Read it now! I can say that this book has many changes it. Some good and some bad. All the characters come to a point of enlightenment and change within themselves. I never thought I would feel sorry for some characters. Ms. Vincent writing gives the reader a whole new insight on certain aspects to the characters. Ms. Vincent pulls the reader immediately within her world drowning them. Could I breathe? No. My breathe was short and fast. Somehow, I managed to make it out alive after this book. LOL!
As always, Ms. Vincent creates a great plot line. The plot pacing is right on target as well as the characters. My emotions swirled within this book and I may have shed a few tears.
If I Die is a book that no reader can put down. Ms. Vincent writing is so smooth, you won’t realize that you are at the end of the book till its over. The plot, the characters, the emotions, are written beautifully. Carefully chosen exquisite words, brings the reader to a place they never thought they be. Enter the world Ms. Vincent created. It’s something you’ll love and never forget!
I give it 5 BITES!
Happy Reading!

I adore Rachel Vincent and I really need to start this series! Everyone says such good things about it and I’m out of the loop and I hate that:( So glad to know you love this series Savy!
oh – I love the Soul Screamers series but was worried about this one b/c I read a short story with the ex-girlfriend in it (in an anthology) and I didn’t like her at all. Glad to hear she doesn’t bring the book down. Will definitely read it.
It’s okay to admit you are sucking up! Well, at least I think it is because I do it all the time. LOL
I haven’t read anything by Rachel Vincent yet, but I hope to soon. Glad to hear you loved this one.
I’m so glad to hear that this one is just as good. I’m still waiting on my Soul to Steal being released over here in the UK.
