This reminds me so much of I know what you did last summer. The ending wasn’t quite what I was expecting. A few twists and turns. Overall a good book but I don’t want to read it again it again in the future.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this eARC.

I am surprised this book was listed under YA and focused to teens. Although the people in this story are in their Senior year of high school, this book has a wider appeal.

The Dare is a story about a rich entitled boy who somehow obtained blackmail material on the other seniors and the only way he won't expose his secrets is if they take part in a series of dares which have far larger implications than the small pranks we all took part in as kids.

As someone who has aged out of the young adult category, I delighted in this novel, it was imaginative, clever and captivating.

Character development in this story is solid, and it is interesting to see how the personalities of the four primary characters changes and is impacted by guilt of a mistake that will follow them for the rest of their lives.

Fans of psychological thrillers will not be able to put down this thriller.

Thank you so much for this ARC Random House! I love Natasha Prestons books. I have purchase 4 of her other books and they are just the perfect amount of mystery and thriller. I found this book to be an easy read while still keeping me entertained and wanting to know what happened next. I love how each of her books are different but you can tell her own style of writing. Loved this one!

4 stars

Exactly what you want and expect from Natasha Preston at this point. Fast, exciting, and thrilling. This is probably one of my favorites of her though. A good revenge, who can resist.

Natasha Preston at it again with another crazy ride. I just downed this one in a matter of about three hours because I just had to know. I love a good revenge plot and this one did not disappoint. The Dare really makes you wonder: what would you be willing to do if your closest friends were plotting against you?
