Synopsis
Time has never been an issue for Baxter Jacobs, but then she never knew she had the ability to Bend it.
As her sixteenth birthday approaches, Baxter inherits a pendant that will change her life. Connected to the pendant is a dark and mysterious young man named Declan Ashdown. Trapped in a Time loop for the past 122 years, Declan needs Baxter’s help to escape. The only problem is, she has no idea how to do it.
To acquire the power she needs to free him, she’ll become one of the Interred, those whose Magical abilities emerge as they come of age. When she does, she’ll discover that Declan isn’t the only one interested in the fact that she’s a Time Bender.
As the Interment arrives, Baxter knows this will be no Sweet Sixteen. A vengeful relative and ruthless Council are determined to control her. Declan’s powerful and charming descendant, Jack Ashdown, claims he can save her. She’ll soon have to decide who she can trust, and how to master her new abilities before Time runs out.
Review
I received a review copy of Interred in return for an
honest review as part of the blog tour hosted by YA Bound. Baxter’s sixteenth
birthday is just around the corner quickly approaching, when a stranger shows
up at her home. She learns that her mother has inherited a family home, and
that she has inherited a pendent that holds a teenage boy trapped in a time
loop. Declan has been locked in the time loop for over 122 years and he’s
hoping that Baxter will be able to break his curse. Baxter also learns that
magic beings do exist and she’s one of them just like her mom. Against her best
judgment Baxter’s mom takes the family to long so that she can be Interred.
When they arrive in London Baxter quickly learns that on
your sixteenth birthday everyone is Interred where they test your powers and
you come into your full powers. Baxter learns that she’s a time bender very
rare a gift it’s also why she can see Declan and no one else can. She learns
that Declan has agreed to help her pass her interred with the hopes that after
she will be able to free him from the loop. On the night of her sixteenth birthday
she’s taken with the others to be Interred but it’s nothing like she could have
imagined. Everything goes crazy, she runs for her life with Jack a warrior
healer who she has a connection with. With his help and Declan’s she will be
tested unlike anything she can imagine pushing her to limits. Then when she
thinks it’s over she learns that her whole life has been turned upside down to
the point she won’t be able to go back. Will Baxter be able to save the day?
I love Interred. The concept is very unique and
interesting it’s a new twist on witches very refreshing. I think Baxter is a
great character she’s very real which makes her easy to connect with. Baxter
has two potential love interests in Interred one who’s stuck in the time loop
and one she’s connected with because he’s a healer. I had a hard time rooting
for either one because I kept expecting them to turn on her. The story is well
written it flows along smoothly, however when the Interred started things got a
little confusing but that’s because so much was going on. I like that it’s a
clean book which makes it appropriate for teens as well as adults to enjoy. Interred is an action packed adventure filled
with mystery a little romance and whole lot of magic. I found the story so captivating
I had a hard time putting the book down I just had to know what was going to
happen to Baxter next. I can’t wait to
see what’s going to happen in the next book.
