Two main concerns Violet Ambrose is battling are Jay Heaton and her sinister hidden talent. The sixteen-year-old is more troubled by her "power" to detect dead bodies—or at least those that have been murdered—than she is by her newfound love for her childhood best buddy. She has sensed the dead's echoes in the world since she was a little child, as well as the marks their murderers bear.
Violet had never thought of her peculiar aptitude as a gift; for the most part, it only helped her locate the dead birds that her cat left for her. She understands, however, that she could be the only one who can stop the serial murderer who is tormenting her little town and that the voices of the local girls he has claimed to haunt her every day.
Violet is frightened by her belief that Jay's motives are more than friendly, even if Jay grudgingly agrees to assist her in her hunt for the killer despite his extreme protectiveness over her. Violet is falling deeply in love, but she's also getting closer to finding a murderer and becoming his next victim.
