      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 deathdates, 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 deathdate 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?

My HONEST Review:

Could you imagine reading someone's death date? Can you imagine knowing when someone is going to die? Those are 2 questions that probably never pop up into a person's head. This story revolves around 1 girl named Maddie Fynn she is a high schooler and she sees the death dates on everybody's foreheads. She doesn't know how they will die. Just knows the dates. I believe that is kinda spooky. She has always been able to see the dates on their heads. But never seen a date where a person is going to die really soon. Then when the first person is murdered, she freaks out. The Feds start suspecting her and her bff of being the murderer. She goes through alot in this story not only in the investigation but also at home. 

I just couldn't imagine what someone would go through like that. Maddie's story broke my heart. She is such a strong person. 

The mystery and the suspense to this story, was just overwhelming and amazing. This story is so fast-paced, so incredible. It opens your eyes to different aspects that could happen in someone's life if someone could actually see something like this. I love how this author came up with a story like this. It is so original, no other author I have read has came up with a story-line like this. 

I gave it 4.5 stars because I didn't get into like other 5 star books. I enjoyed immensely but there are other stories I enjoyed so much more. 

But YES you should definately read this story. Its a MUST READ, FAST-PACED, MYSTERY, YA. LOVED IT.

There is one quote that stood out to me before anything else. So here it is. You have to read the story to find it though. 

“Hey,” Faraday said after a few seconds. “Did you know your clock’s still ten minutes fast?”
