Publisher's Weekly named Lyga a "Flying Start" in December 2006 on the strength of the debut.His second young adult novel, Boy Toy, received starred reviews in SLJ, Publishers Weekly, and Kirkus. VOYA gave it its highest critical rating, and the Chicago Tribune called it "...an astounding portrayal of what it is like to be the young male victim." His third novel, Hero-Type, according to VOYA "proves that there are still fresh ideas and new, interesting story lines to be explored in young adult literature."Since then, he has also written Goth Girl Rising (the sequel to his first novel) , as well as the Archvillain series for middle-grade readers and the graphic novel Mangaman (with art by Colleen Doran) .His most famous series is I Hunt Killers, called by the LA Times "one of the more daring concepts in recent years by a young-adult author" and an "extreme and utterly alluring narrative about nature versus nurture."
