Panic
Series · 2021
In the forgotten town of Carp, Texas, Panic is the only way out. Every summer the graduating seniors risk their lives competing in a series of challenges for the chance to win life-changing money. After the death of two players the stakes—and danger—have never been higher.
The sides of Panic
- A deadly summer game in small-town Texas
- Graduating seniors risking their lives
- Prize money as the way out
Panic is good for you if…
- you like dares that get more dangerous every week.
- you like teenagers desperate to leave a dead-end town.
- you like two close friends pulled apart by the same dangerous game.
Panic is bad for you if…
- you need a story where adults would actually let this happen.
- you want deep character studies more than dares and secrets.
