About this ebook

“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.


One mysterious website. A town full of dark secrets. And a price for every wish.


  • High School Thriller: At Nottawa High, a new social network seems like a dream come true, until the simple pranks it asks for escalate to malicious crimes and the body count starts to rise.
  • Moral Dilemmas: What starts as a game turns sinister as students are asked to betray friends and commit crimes, forcing them to decide how high a price they’re willing to pay for their deepest desires.
  • A Psychological Thriller: Kaylee needs a kidney to save her brother’s life. When NEED offers a solution, she’s drawn into a web where she can’t trust anyone—not even her best friend.
  • A Town Full of Secrets: Everyone has something they need, and NEED knows just how to exploit it. In a small town where everyone knows each other, the deadliest secrets are the ones kept hidden.

This whole book blew my mind. Like most of Joelle's books, it started out slow to set the scene, then just absolutely did not stop with the amount of action/drama that was happening. Great read! I was not expecting any of the twists and turns.

This was really good, the plot was great it's just the ending was a little anti-climatic.
