This tale encompasses people who look like humans except they have blue tattoo-like figures on their hands, which glow under certain circumstances and they are called Akori.  Akori never die but if they are wounded severely they "scatter."  That is they disappear for many years and then one day they appear once again looking just the same age as when they scattered.  Then there are humans who die naturally and don't have the paranormal powers of the Akori. Last but not least are the Mesen who are Akori who have rebelled against the ones residing in Tremain, which is a large estate, usually situated in some cold, snowy region but at the time of this story, it has been re-located in a warm area of the U.S. on the ocean.  Addison Sanders, called Addy, is a human who is the granddaughter of Fate, a human and also Overseer of Tremain.  There are many characters in this story, and most of them are young adults, with romance, special powers and many conflicts between the Akori and the Mesen thrown in for good measure.  The plot is unique and well written with many unusual and unexpected twists.  Although it is considered in the YA genre, older adults will enjoy it also if you like sci fi type stories.  I enjoyed it and it is a page turner.this book was given to me free to do an honest review.
