Tome Tender’s Review of…

 Alternate by Marilyn Almodovar

 (Chronicles of the Interred, #3)

She is Baxter Number 7 in the alternate world she has found herself in. Powerless, Baxter must deal with seeing old friends who are not her friends, and, of course, Jack. But Alternate Jack is not like her Jack, he is older, sadder and bitter, blaming our Baxter for his loss of a special power, his loss of his Baxter. Would he rather see our Baxter dead than help her return home or defeat DeClan? So many things are different, yet so much feels like it should be the same, friends, not friends, some alive here while dead in Baxter’s dimension, but always DeClan is hot on her tale, chasing her through dimensions, killing off as many of the other Baxters as possible.





The time has come for our Baxter to take a stand, no matter the cost, fi she is meant to defeat DeClan, it is now or never, but how will she do it with no powers and without being sure of who stands with her? Why this dimension, why not with her Jack, the one who loves her?





Okay, I know, talk of dimensions, multiple Baxters, multiple Jacks, followers of Marilyn Almodovar and her brilliant series know what I am talking about, brilliant storytelling, weaving of fantasy and adversity, love and war and one girl, expected to save the world from the twisted grip of a deranged monster. Alternate is another edgy addition that is gripping, while alternating between being driven by the characters and the action, as well as the impending doom should all fail. Ms. Almodovar’s concept of different dimensions or planes of existence is just another fabulous weapon of words and imagination in her arsenal of creativity. Every dimension is separate and the outcomes may vary, but only in one will the final battle come. Will these dimensions clash or become the unlikely allies in the war against evil?





High tension, overflowing with emotional turmoil, precarious situations and one girl at the vortex. A highly recommended series to exercise one’s wildest imaginations, all while asking, “what if?”

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.

Series: Chronicles of the Interred – Book 2

Publication Date: May 18, 2014

Publisher: Iambe Books, LLC

Genre: YA Fantasy

Print Length: 286 pages

Available from: Amazon | Barnes & Noble

Synopsis:

Baxter Jacobs just

survived the worst Sweet Sixteen in history: buried in a coffin, hunted

down by assassins, and losing almost everything that mattered to her.

She’s ready for some normalcy, but “normal” won’t play any part of this

Time Bender’s future.

Now that the immediate threat is over, Baxter

learns just how much the English Council expects of the newest Interred.

The pressure has her seriously considering her uncle’s offer to take

her to New York, especially since she thinks it will keep her Healer,

Jack, from overusing his abilities. Knowing the New York Council’s ranks

are filled with beings using dark powers, however, makes her hesitate.

Before

she can choose, the decision is wrenched from her. Fissures in Time

result in a new battle with an old enemy. Someone she thought she’d lost

reenters her life, and she’ll discover a web of lies woven into the

fabric of Time…lies only she can unravel. Baxter will have to use her

growing abilities to try and reveal the truth, even if it forever

changes the reality she knows.

There are lies in the fabric of Time only she can unravel…
