A high-stakes online game of dares turns deadly.... When Vee is picked to be a player in NERVE, an anonymous game of dares broadcast live online, she discovers that the game knows her. They tempt her with prizes taken from her ThisIsMe page and team her up with the perfect boy: sizzling-hot Ian. At first it's exhilarating - Vee and Ian's fans cheer them on to riskier dares with higher stakes. But the game takes a twisted turn when they're directed to a secret location with five other players for the grand-prize round. Suddenly they're playing all or nothing - with their lives on the line. Just how far will Vee go before she loses NERVE? With Nerve, debut author Jeanne Ryan delivers an intensely gripping suspense thriller perfect for fans of The Hunger Games.

***If you have teenage children you need to read this book, your teens need to read this book, and you need to talk about it.***I normally read for entertainment purposes. I don't look for underlying social commentary. This book could easily be reality in 2 to 5 years.Vee is a normal shy teen that takes backstage to her theater star best friend Syd. When she tries to get the attention of a boy she enters a game called NERVE. The idea is you do silly dares to get prizes, the dare is broadcast over the internet and "watchers" vote on if they like you. The more watchers like you, the more dares you are offered and the more prizes you win.The dares start small and silly, with a pair of boots as a prize. The prizes get bigger as the dares get more extreme and more dangerous. All these dares lead up to one live event that is designed to torture the player and dangle life changing prizes in front of their nose.I sat with a nervous pit in my stomach for the entire book, experiencing either teenage angst through Vee's eyes or the fear of the dare. You clearly see how one can see something small and rationalize how the next dare isn't that bad because it is a tiny bit more than the last.The company that runs NERVE knows EVERYTHING about the players. Things that they post on their ThisIsMe page, which is like Facebook, NERVE knows. Every time Vee went to a shopping site and liked or wished for an item, NERVE knows. It is just like what we do at , or when we go to the grocery store and they scan our "member" card. All that information is on computers. NERVE has access to any and all information that is on computers, including Vee's psychiatric records. The company that runs NERVE is a "ghost" corporation.
