(4) YA Charbonneau explores the dehumanizing potential of internet anonymity via the mysterious new social network NEED, through which students obtain their needs by performing simple tasks. This soon turns deadly: think Strangers on a Train 2.0. Extremely well-wrought tension in the book's final third rewards patient readers but doesn’t outweigh the glut of hard-to-track rotating perspectives or the strained reveal of NEED's origin.
