From New York Times bestselling author Lauren Oliver comes a captivating, thrilling novel of fear, friendship, courage, and hope that will leave readers gasping for air. Now a television series on Prime Video, starring Olivia Welch, Mike Faist, Jessica Sula, Enrique Murciano, Camron Jones, and Ray Nicholson!E. Lockhart, author of We Were Liars, calls Panic "a thrill a minute." Kirkus says: "Will have readers up until the wee hours, " School Library Journal raves: "Fast-paced and captivating."Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a poor town of twelve thousand 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. 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. Read the book that inspired the series, which the New York Times described as "Reminiscent of 'The Hunger Games' but grounded in the real world."
PANIC, LE JEU DE LA PEUR
Ce jeu n’a pas de règles strictes, un animateur est désigné par on ne sait qui, idem pour les juges qui doivent rester anonymes et impartiaux, quant aux joueurs ils ne savent pas à quoi s’attendre lors des épreuves : coups bas, enlèvements et même bien pire.
Ce jeu c’est un tremplin vers l’argent mais aussi la possibilité de changer de vie. Et même pour certains c’est l’occasion de faire monter l’adrénaline car les occasions sont rares dans ce trou paumé.
Chacun y joue pour des raisons bien précises mais les secrets sont bien gardés…
Le principal personnage de ce livre est le jeu, envoûtant mais effrayant et surtout dangereux.
Malgré une scène un peu surréaliste qui arrive en fin de parcours, ce roman est addictif et bien ficelé.
