Everless by Sara Holland

Everless (Everless, #1)

by Sara Holland

IN THE KINGDOM OF SEMPERA, TIME IS CURRENCY—EXTRACTED FROM BLOOD, BOUND TO IRON, AND CONSUMED TO ADD TIME TO ONE’S OWN LIFESPAN. THE RICH ARISTOCRACY TAX THE POOR TO THE HILT, EXTENDING THEIR OWN LIVES BY CENTURIES.

And no one resents the Gerlings more than Jules Ember. A decade ago, she and her father were servants at Everless, the Gerlings’ palatial estate, until a fateful accident forced them to flee in the dead of night. When Jules discovers that her father is dying, she knows that she must return to Everless to earn more time for him before she loses him forever.

But going back to Everless brings more danger—and temptation—than Jules could have ever imagined. Soon she’s caught in a tangle of violent secrets and finds her heart torn between two people she thought she’d never see again. Her decisions have the power to change her fate—and the fate of time itself.

In a world where time is bound to blood and exchange time from your blood for money you have a unique world.  I was drawn into the story of a girl who used to live at Everless but escapes due to circumstances from her child hood.  Now her farther is out of time and she must head back and face her past.  We got a love interest from way back when and a mystery surrounding her parents. The story was spot on in its intrigue as painting some characters so far one direction that you really believe you know who bad and who good.  I intrigued and ready for book two.
