Endangered: An Edgar Award-Nominated Young Adult Thriller of Identity, Secrets, and Blackmail

Edgar Award nominee for Best Young Adult Mystery Endangered is a thrilling page-turner perfect for fans of Barry Lyga’s I Hunt Killers , from acclaimed author Lamar Giles, author of the Edgar Award–nominated Fake ID. The one secret she cares about keeping—her identity—is about to be exposed. That is, unless Lauren “Panda” Daniels—an anonymous photo blogger who specializes in busting classmates and teachers in compromising positions—plays along with her blackmailer’s little game of Dare or . . . Dare. But when the game turns deadly, Panda doesn’t know what to do. And she may need to step out of the shadows to save herself . . . and everyone else on the Admirer’s hit list. “Suspenseful and often wise.” - Kirkus Reviews “[The] exploration of good and evil, justice and culpability, and anger and guilt gives this psychological thriller the thematic and emotional depth to match its full-throttle plot.
