Need by Joelle Charbonneau

This one was fun, but in a creepy, scary, could this really happen type of way.  It deals with a new social network called NEED, that is only for students of the local high school.  It offers complete anonymity and highly discourages any discussion of the site.  In return, the users can request anything they need.  All they have to do is perform whatever task NEED ask of them, and they will receive what they ask for.  Simple enough right?  The tasks start off innocent enough: invite 7 new people to the site.  Soon, these tasks become more sinister and with that, the bodies start piling up.  I enjoyed it, but to be honest, it kind of scared me by the possible reality of it all. 

Here is the book trailer: Need



From Amazon:


“No one gets something for nothing. We all should know better.”

Teenagers at Wisconsin’s Nottawa High School are drawn deeper into a social networking site that promises to grant their every need . . . regardless of the consequences. Soon the site turns sinister, with simple pranks escalating to malicious crimes. The body count rises. In this chilling YA thriller, the author of the best-selling Testing trilogy examines not only the dark side of social media, but the dark side of human nature.
