A YA thriller for fans of Pretty Little Liars. I am not a fan of Pretty Little Liars, so sadly this was not for me, but I can definitely see its appeal.

WHY DID I LISTEN TO TRUTH OR DARE BY JACQUELINE GREEN?
Truth Or Dare by Jacqueline Green had SUCH a cool cover back in like 2013 when it came out. I mean, I liked the green color and the whole keeping a secret motif. However, I didn’t really prioritize it because I just had not been in the mood to read it. Frankly, it sounded a little similar to Pretty Little Liars to me. Yet, when I saw this audiobook pop up on Scribd, I knew I had to FINALLY read it.
WHAT’S THE STORY HERE?
Green’s Truth Or Dare follows three main characters – Tenley, Caitlin and Sydney. All three girls live in Echo Bay. They end up in this ongoing game of Truth Or Dare, right. So each girl has a secret. They have to obey the game in order to prevent the town from finding out about the things they are hiding. The dares eventually escalate. Eventually things come to a head and the suspense is up to this super high level while we all try and guess who exactly is issuing the dares.
HOW DID I LIKE TRUTH OR DARE?
So, this was a pretty suspenseful book. There’s a lot of edge of seat action that happens. There are parts where I was like on pins and needles to see what exactly would happen. I wanted to know how things would play out. Plus when I thought I had it figured out, I was kind of wrong. Also I did find Sydney’s perspective to be the most interesting of the girls. She’s not as privileged as Caitlin and Tenley so I just gelled with her character more. However, although Truth Or Dare ends on a cliffhanger, I will not be continuing the series.
HOW’S THE NARRATION?
Katie Koster is the audiobook narrator. She does an adequate job and modulates her voice for the different characters. I didn’t zone out a lot. She kept me feeling the suspense. Actually, I am glad I listened because I would not have bothered to read this book earlier if not for it being available via audio.

I had not requested this title - it was auto-loaded to my shelf by the publisher and I have chosen not to read/review at this time.
Netgalley has required me to leave a rating in order to give feedback so I chose the 5 star.
Thank you
