New York Times bestseller! "Sara Holland is a fierce storyteller. Everless gives new and terrifying meaning to the phrase running out of time." - Stephanie Garber, New York Times bestselling author of Caraval "Holland's lush, intricately drawn world hides an undercurrent of darkness underneath a veneer of beauty and finery." - Publishers Weekly 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, like the Gerlings, tax the poor to the hilt, extending their own lives by centuries. Jules and her father were servants at Everless, the Gerlings' palatial estate, until a fateful accident a 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. Caught in a tangle of violent secrets, Jules must find the power to change her fate - and the fate of time itself. Praised by Kirkus as "a heady, addicting page-turner" and "utterly absorbing"! Fans of Victoria Aveyard, Kendare Blake, and Stephanie Garber will devour the action and romance of Holland's debut novel - now available in paperback.

creative and entertaining

4.25 stars "Time is money". That's where this story shines. I mean sure, it's horrible that people harm other people to take their blood for consumption and for money(blood=time and time=money), but that's what makes the book stand out. It's such a great concept!(That doesn't sound sadistic, does it?) This book definitely isn't perfect. The 4 stars comes from just my enjoyment of it. It had a pretty decent amount of flaws. There were issues with the writing, amongst other things, but my main issue was that the characters weren't that well developed. The MC, Jules, had decent judgement and an ok personality, but I just couldn't feel a connection towards her. I thought there would be more depth to Roan's character too, other than him being the guy the MC was infatuated with. The love triangle was just meh. I realize this is sounding more like a bad review, but the actual plot and world-building was great, and I finished the book in one sitting. It's flawed, but will get you hooked a few pages through. Overall, it's hard to put down and I would recommend.

Got to love the twists and turns of this series

That was some messed up twists in this book. I got it all wrong. Like way wrong!! I was not prepared for how twisty this book would become. And honestly was not expecting Jules to be what she was. I couldn't even figure it fully out as the whole thing was unraveling right in front of me. It's usually hard to shock me, but this book definitely put me in the confused and what is going in place. I literally am sitting here thinking what did I just read? So good. And completely different type of story. I was just not prepared for those twists. Here it's 2 am and all I want to do is pick up the next book because I need to know what happens asap! But I need sleep
