The Dare

"This story really took me by storm, ensnaring me in its clutches till the very bitter end. Marley and her friends are connected by one terrible accident that will scar them for life. Everything changes about their dynamic as it becomes strained under the pressure of holding in such a tragic secret. Yet Marley’s friends are particularly worried about her and that she will spill what they vow to take to the grave. She just seems so fragile, vulnerable, and desperate to clear her conscience that it sets them on edge. The reason this all started is due to a dare from none other than the notorious Rhett Wilder, who comes from a wealthy, powerful family. The dares take rapidly dark turns as people plummet to unseen depths, forced to live out their fates for fear of being blackmailed. While this book had some plot holes and I desperately wanted Marley to end up with someone different than she does, I loved how twisty and clever this plot was. It truly stole my breath away and was intricately woven so much so that you wonder who will gain the upper hand and outsmart who. Buckle up for a wild ride! This one will be sure to have you turning pages long into the night. "

"3.5/5. I definitely enjoyed this read. I love her books and hate the abrupt endings that don’t even feel like an ending so I was happy this book had an ending. The story was interesting but overall predictable, there wasn’t much that left me surprised or thinking “wtf”. ***SPOILER ALERT*** the ending made me a little sad. I really liked Rhett and am bummed main character framed him to be arrested. It was also a disappointing turn because there’s no way he doesn’t help take her down after she screws him over so she stupidly took herself down when he would have covered for her about the watch.

"I love a good Natasha Preston book, however this one left me blah…it made me think of the movie “I know what you did last summer” it was a little hard to get into until the last couple of chapters. For a suspense book this wasn’t it, and then I was left with a couple of questions about a couple of characters. Felt like a lot of loose ends needed to be tied up and they weren’t."

"Oh my god? The ending shocked the hell out of me. It felt like plot twist after plot twist. It was crazy and I loved it so much"

"Holy crap... I don't even have the words for how much I loves this book. Read it in one day and was not disappointed by Natasha Preston! Amazing author and I have to say this is one of my favorites of hers. The start was a bit slow but that doesn't matter so much as the plot keeps dragging you back for more and the twists were amazing!! I devoured this book! Beautifully done!!"

"I LOVE THIS BOOK!! at first, I couldn’t get passed the first few pages. but as the story escalated, the book began to hold more and more weight. this is definitely my favorite book by Natasha Preston "
