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?

Opinion: 

Although it was not the best Ive read, I liked this book. It has an interesting concept that I havent seen before in a story. Cassandra is a believable character, and the dialogue is believable as well. The writing style wasnt my favorite, but thats personal preference. Overall, this was a decent book. I wouldnt recommend it to younger readers, mainly because of harsh languagebut for more mature readers, give it a try. The Mark is a worthwhile read.
