Lauren Oliver's 'Delirium' Trilogy is one of my favorites and my expectations for Panic were definitely high, and this EXCEEDED those.
"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."
After reading that blurb, I had assumed Panic was aHunger Games rip-off dystopian novel. Believe me it's actually quite far away from that genre.It's a ya-contemporary/ Thriller / Mystery,in other words AWESOME.
It has dual POV's of the characters Heather and Dodge, and Lauren Oliver has written them perfectly.
Each and every character is sooo believable.
Panic is NOT the hunger games, seniors play this illegally, mainly because they're bored and definitely because of the money.
Heather and Dodge both have very different reasons and that's what makes their POV's great. Panic was everything I expected it to be (after I found out it was not dystopian) and more.
No doubt, Panic gets
