I got this book through NetGalley to review. This was a well done book about a girl, Ivy, who sees numbers over everyone's head that tell her how long that person has before they die. Ivy also sees when her own death is going to occur and it is soon.

Ivy becomes determined to solve the mystery behind the murder of her best friend before she dies. This gives her a purpose to help her fight the looming depression of her own imminent death.

I enjoyed this story; it was a creative premise and the characters were interesting. Towards the end things get very predictable, but I liked mystery leading up to most of that. The writing flows well and this is an easy read.

Overall I enjoyed it and would recommend to those who enjoy murder mysteries with a paranormal bent to them.
