jacquelinec's review against another edition
I've found myself disliking Kaylee more and more over the course of this series. I can't continue reading about her anymore. She's surpassed the threshold of my capability to care about a frustrating character.

*before*
Ok, so my dumb ass couldn't help but read the spoilers to this book before I even finished the fourth. Not to mention reading the supposed summary to the one following this. I'm not sure I am happy with this outcome that is supposed to be happening. I love me some Tod but I wasn't sure that's what I would have liked to have seen happen. I liked the tension that I was seeing between Nash and Kaylee in the begining of the 4th book and I was hoping they would make up.
*sigh* I just hope that everything that is written in between where I am now, and the spoilers I have read, justify where it's at. I hope that when it is all said and done, I can do a happy song and dance. Fingers crossed X.
******
*after*
Happy song and dance! I'm super happy with Kaylee and Tod together. Everything came together nicely and despite my previous review I like where the story ended up. I'm a bit sad to see Nash go through what he has and to see him turn into another person but other than that, I loved everything else about the book and I can't wait to read the next ones.

A little too much drama for me in this one - and I have never liked triangles, and even less a quadrlangle...
I don't understand where Kaylee's sudden 'love' for Tod came from, even if Nash had done some pretty bad things, I think that both Kaylee and Tod should have given him a real second chance.
Also, the bringing Kay back from death, and Tod as well was overly dramatic in my opinion. However, it was not really unexpected, nor was the Kaylee and Tod thing unexepcted, it was foreshadowed from the very first book.
Now, all I need to do is to hope that Nash will get clean, and that things will get a little bit more normal for Kaylee now that she's dead, or undead...

I ALREADY WROTE THE REVIEW BUT GOODREADS DIDN'T SAVE IT.
Shithead.
Ok, in that little review I wrote that I'm the cutest person ever and this book deserves 4 stars but I read 3 books of the same serie in 5 days and I've grown attached to Kaylee, Tod, Emma, Sophie and Sabine (yes, Nash I've left you out, after the end of this one I would have slash his throat open) and I'm really weepy and I really appreaciated the development of the whole thing. The second half of this book was the best of the WHOLE SERIE. Good job Vincent.

If I Die is the best book in the Soul Screamers series so far and the third that I have given 5 stars to. The other two got 4 stars so it is safe to say that I recommend this series. I initially thought this was the last book in the series and I cannot begin to say how happy I am that there will be another book in the series.
Read my review at Addicted to Media: Book Review: If I Die by Rachel Vincent
Excerpt: "If I Die is the fifth novel in Rachel Vincent’s Soul Screamers series featuring bean sidhes Kaylee and Nash and a host of supernatural creatures including hellions, maras, reapers, incubi and even the occasional human being. What will thrill fans most about this instalment is not the fact that Kaylee is dying or that she is once again fighting evil, but the massive twist in the love relationship between her and Nash. I am not going to spoil it by saying what the twist was, I’m not even going to hint, but let’s just say that I spent most of the book thrilled, a short portion devastated and then I was absolutely happy in the end.
In fact, I liked almost everything in this book. I love that Tod got a much bigger part in this story and I have to say that I knew all along, ever since his eyes started churning two books ago. Cryptic, I know, but it is hard to wax lyrical about something so integral to the plot without spoiling and ruining it for other readers and it certainly would have spoiled it for me if I’d had even a clue of what was in store".

This review was originally posted at Vampire Book Club.
If I Die is emotionally brutal — heartbreak, impending death, love — and I want to thank Rachel Vincent for every painful moment of it. Like with so many of her books, Vincent is able to conjure such character connections as to force readers to experience the highs and lows alongside.
The main element in the fifth Soul Screamer book is Kaylee dealing with Tod seeing her name on the Reaper’s list. (It’s not a spoiler, it happens at the VERY beginning of the book.) Kaylee is told she’s going to die and when. She has six days of knowing it’s almost over, and she does exactly what I’d do: goes into denial. Everyone wants her to cry, to rage, and the like, but she’s trying very hard not to think about the fact she’s supposed to die. She has to try and keep her dad from doing something stupid and noble in an attempt to save her. She wants to spend important moments with Nash, because they’re almost gone. But, mostly, she wants to know everyone she loves will be safe after she’s gone.
Which brings us to a new teacher at Kaylee’s school. Girls all around the area are dying from miscarriages, including one Kaylee knows, and well it just happens that Mr. Beck is their teacher. Sabine is the first to point out he’s not human, and while they aren’t sure what he is they’re convinced he’s trying to make some babies. When Mr. Beck turns his attention toward Kaylee’s best friend Emma, oh it’s on. Kaylee throws herself completely into the distraction of finding out what Mr. Beck is and stopping him.
This means a return visit the mental health facility Kaylee was placed in before she knew she was a bean sidhe. (Did I mention this book brings the emotional heavy?) It also means working with Tod and Sabine more than usual, especially the former which riles Nash something fierce.
The girl is told she has six days to live and, yet, you can’t stop relationship drama when it’s destined to come. I won’t tell you what happens on this front, but it’s perfect. It’s not easy for Kaylee to get there, but the end result feels so right.
If I Die is the heaviest book to date in the Soul Screamers series; it’s also the best. Vincent kept me on edge and constantly muttering “no way” as she threw twist after twist at me. She’s pushed the series in a new direction that will certainly breath life into future books. I’m so ready for more.

Boo Nash! Yay Tod!
I am conflicted with this review because I honestly hated all of this book until the end. Because I have been rooting for Tod even before he was a love interest. Nash was great for awhile but I was never fully on board with him. I always felt like he was too perfect and I just didn't understand why he started showing her interest all of a sudden when he has been a man whore for the last 2 years. It has always bothered me that he never paid her any attention until he found out she wasn't human. So the parts of this book where Kaylee was trying to fix her relationship with Nash just pissed me off. But Tod is so dreamy.. so yeah mixed feelings on this book.
