Waiting on Wednesday (25)

Waiting on Wednesday is the day where everyone drools over upcoming books. Jill started it.

Today's pick:

The Mark by Jen Nadol

description from the Tenners site:

Sixteen year-old Cassie Renfield has seen the mark since forever: a glow around certain people as if a candle were held behind their back.

The one time she pointed it out taught her not to do it again, so Cassie has kept quiet, considering its rare appearances odd, but insignificant. Until the day she watches a man die. Mining her memories, Cassie realizes she can see a person's imminent death. Not how or where, only when: today.

Cassie searches her past, her philosophy lessons, even her new boyfriend for answers, always careful to hide her secret. How does the mark work? Why her? Most importantly, if you know today is someone's last, should you tell?

Why I want it:

• Jen is a Tenner! Love those Tenners.
  
• It sounds vair vair interesting, doesn't it? I want to see how that last question in the description is answered in the book.
  
• The cover is nice. It kind of reminds me of a movie poster though. But maybe that's just me.
• There's an excerpt on Jen's website, and it is super intriguing. It's one of those excerpts that make me want the darn book already.
  

Released in early 2010!
