Synopsis:
Maddie Fynn is a shy high school junior, cursed with an eerie intuitive ability: she sees a series of unique digits hovering above the foreheads of each person she encounters. Her earliest memories are marked by these numbers, but it takes her father’s premature death for Maddie and her family to realize that these mysterious digits are actually death dates, and just like birthdays, everyone has one.

Forced by her alcoholic mother to use her ability to make extra money, Maddie identifies the quickly approaching death date of one client's young son, but because her ability only allows her to see the when and not the how, she’s unable to offer any more insight. When the boy goes missing on that exact date, law enforcement turns to Maddie.

Soon, Maddie is entangled in a homicide investigation, and more young people disappear and are later found murdered. A suspect for the investigation, a target for the murderer, and attracting the attentions of a mysterious young admirer who may be connected to it all, Maddie's whole existence is about to be turned upside down. Can she right things before it's too late? 

I thought that the idea of seeing death dates for people was a clever idea. It was unique and interesting. It was one aspect of the book that made it worth reading. I wanted to know more about it and if there were any limits to her gift or curse depending on how you look at it. I enjoyed the mystery surrounding the killer and the amount of tension that the author was able to make me feel when Maddie is trying to clear her name. 

The only issue I had with the book was who the killer turned out to be. This can make or break a book like this for me. There has to be a good explanation as to why the killer is doing what he/she is doing. I also appreciate it when an author can trip me up and surprise me and not manage to give the identify away too easily. Everything should make sense and manage to maintain my interest. Unfortunately, this book failed in what I am looking for.  I don't feel like enough hints were dropped as to who the killer was. I was surprised and not in a good way. The explanation was fine for why it was who it was but it felt a bit contrived. I feel like there could have been better options for who the killer could have been rather than who the author chose. It just didn't feel right to  me.
