Panic
Written by: Lauren Oliver
Publisher: HarperCollins
Release date: March 4, 2014
Pages: 416
Genres: YA, Contemporary, Dystopia
From Goodreads:
Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a dead-end town of 12,000 people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do.

Heather never thought she would compete in Panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher. She’d never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. But when she finds something, and someone, to fight for, she will discover that she is braver than she ever thought.

Dodge has never been afraid of Panic. His secret will fuel him, and get him all the way through the game, he’s sure of it. But what he doesn't know is that he’s not the only one with a secret. Everyone has something to play for.

For Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them—and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most.

Honestly, it's not the summary that's intrigued me as much as the fact that it's by Lauren Oliver. Her Delirium series is amazing and if I can't say I like the ending very much, the series is just something else in a good way, and I have high hopes for Panic. I'll read anything by Lauren Oliver and Panic is no exception.
 
Also, totally in irrelevant news The Fault in our Stars official trailer was released today see it here. My review is here and my Movie Monday post on it is here.

  2. Great pic! I LOVED Delirium, but I haven't read book 2 yet. I really need to get on that. Panic sounds just as awesome. My WOW post is here if you want to check it out.
