Excerpt was very good, can't wait for it's release early 2020. Received book 11/19/20.

As Whitnee Terradora stands on the cusp of her eighteenth birthday, all she can think about is getting through graduation without tripping, boarding that cruise ship, and finally, for crying out loud, snagging her first real kiss with Caleb. Forget that she still hasn't decided where to go to college and that the future intimidates her more than she will admit.

It's the eve of the Guardianship Festival, and all Gabriel can focus on is getting through the next five days of tribal blessing rituals across the Island, making a historically powerful speech at the opening ceremony, and successfully avoiding any more assassination threats. His determination remains intact even when he is unexpectedly separated from Eden, his personal advisor and confidante. Surely he can handle leadership of the festivities without her.

But the Island has a different plan. And neither Whitnee nor Gabriel is prepared for—or happy about—the moment their two worlds collide again. Prophecies unravel, friendships are challenged, and attraction ignites as the dark underbelly of the Island reveals itself in this long-awaited fifth installment of the Phantom Island series.

There will be a sixth and i believe final book soon. The sooner the better.

I have been a big fan of Krissi and her books since I met her in Austin after the release of her first book, Windchaser. She was very popular with my high school readers, so I have posted information about her books on my Facebook page since some of my students follow me.

Oh, and she has updated and reissued all the earlier books, so you will have no problem getting your hands on them.

Highly recommended. I ignored work I needed to do to get ready for Thanksgiving to read this book. ( )
