About the Book

Book Synopsis

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.

• Secret Identity: By day, she's a quiet Hall Ghost. By night, she's Gray, the anonymous photoblogger exposing everyone's dirty laundry.
• High-Stakes Blackmail: When a mysterious "Admirer" discovers her secret, Panda is forced into a twisted game of "Dare or... Dare" to protect her identity.
• Vigilante Justice: Panda is used to getting payback for others, but she becomes the one who needs saving when the game turns deadly.
• Twists and Turns: Everyone is a suspect and no one is safe on the Admirer's hit list in this thrilling page-turner.
