Excerpt from Nerve by Jeanne Ryan

I had a great time this weekend at Calgary’s “When Words Collide” writer’s conference. Had fun presenting on several panels, made some new friends, met a few I had previously only met online, and was even on a panel with Angela Ackerman, one of the writers of the Emotion Thesaurus, a great writing resource!

I am currently reading Nerve by Jeanne Ryan. This young adult novel has been adapted into a motion picture currently in theatres. An online game of truth or dare gets out of control! The tagline is “to survive this game, choosing dare is your only option.”

“I’m not doing any dare.”

He types something into my phone. “I know you won’t. Just messing with ya ‘cause you’re so cute when you blush.”

Nerve, Jeanne Ryan

A high-stakes online game of dares turns deadly

When Vee is picked to be a player in NERVE, an anonymous game of dares broadcast live online, she discovers that the game knows her. They tempt her with prizes taken from her ThisIsMe page and team her up with the perfect boy, sizzling-hot Ian. At first it’s exhilarating–Vee and Ian’s fans cheer them on to riskier dares with higher stakes. But the game takes a twisted turn when they’re directed to a secret location with five other players for the Grand Prize round. Suddenly they’re playing all or nothing, with their lives on the line. Just how far will Vee go before she loses NERVE?
