| A pretty solid read |
Summary: For as long as she can remember, Maddie has seen the numbers: a date that hovers over each person's forehead. The date of their death. In an effort to save a boy, she tells his mother of his approaching deathdate. When Tevon vanishes that same day, all eyes are on Maddie.
My Opinion: For the most part, this is a pretty entertaining book. Maddie, at least, is a relatively rounded character. The plot resolution does come as something of a surprise. In fact, I'd have liked a little more foreshadowing for the killer's identity. There were plenty of suspects but no real direction. Some of the evidence and "cop talk" was a little stiff, clinical, or just plain hard to believe. Still, a nice level of tension kept the pacing at a near ideal level.
