Sixteen-year-old Cassandra Renfield has always seen the mark-a light glow reminiscent of candlelight. The only time she pointed it out taught her she shouldn't do it again. For years, the mark has followed Cassie, its rare appearances odd, but insignificant. Until the day she watches a man die. As she revisits each occurrence of the mark, Cassie realizes she can see a person's imminent death. Not how or where, only when: today. Now armed with a slight understanding of the mark, Cassie begins to search for it. Even as she hides her secret, Cassie mines her philosophy class, her memories, and even her new boyfriend for answers about the faint glowing mark. But many questions remain. How does it work? Why her? And finally, the most important of all: If you know today is someone's last, should you tell them?

The plot of the book is how Cassie goes through the deaths of family, having to move in with an aunt she's never heard of before, and dealing with her gift/curse. She has to deal with a lot of different things that happen to her because of her gift/curse. Her gift/curse is that she can see a mark around people that tells her that they are going to die that day. You will be reading through love and mystery.

Cassandra Renfield didnt used to know what it meant. Until she followed a man and watched him die. She now knows that the strange glow she sees on individuals does not mean shes crazy . . . it means those people are going to die. Today. Cassie knows that the mark is a remarkable predictor of the inevitable, a warning . . . which is why she feels anxious and panicked when she sees marked people and knows she cant save them. Or can she? Seeing the mark again and again begs the question: should Cassandra tell the people she knows will die in just hours? Can she prevent death?
