The review was originally posted at Library Cat book blog.It all started many years ago when humanity was suffering from a mysterious illness. Oren Sanders lost his family. By some miracle, his life was spared. His wife Anne told him that fate had a plan for him. He survived. In the moment of greatest pain of his life two people appeared. In fact, they were Akori. And his life changed forever.Many years later, Addy Sanders is a teenager, living not quite normal teenage life. She lives with her grandfather after her parents' death. He is the Overseer for an ancient group of human-like people called Akori. He is the last one of the family line of Oren Sanders, the first Overseer. They live on estate that constantly moves and locals never noticed that this thing  was not there the day before. Entire community on the estate had always lived in cold places, to protect themselves from Akori. But one morning Addy found herself in a tropical place. Their island simply moved in the new environment. Here, Addy  met Tanner. It seems that he was the only one who noticed that on his favorite beach popped up an island overnight. But only Akori have the ability to notice something like that. Is Tanner Akori? Mysterious singer in a rock band has his own  secrets. Charming and very handsome, easily attracts the attention of Addy.And there is Gage. Very handsome boy, neighbor next door,  who Addy literally grow up with. A best friend who could easily become something more.But Addy's fate has a plan. Akori attacked. And after her grandfather's death, she is the last Sanders, the last Overseer. A girl.I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion. I have to admit that attracted me right from the start. One unusual timeless story. Story of a young girl whose destiny was already written. Story of a girl who, despite all, is trying to have a normal teenage life. And fall in love. Tanner or Gage, read yourselves. What I liked in the story was the vivid description of the characters. They all have  weaknesses, they are not perfect. Despite the duties which have been imposed by fate, they still find time to enjoy the teenage days, to go to the mall, to take photos with their mobile, to do parties on the beach. A bunch of unimportant things, which make them so normal. And there is the  fantastic story for Overseer's stone, for his power to create and destroy. Great writing from a debut author.
