I thoroughly enjoyed this most recent Natasha Preston thriller. Combining Aspects of Lois Duncan's "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and Lauren Oliver's "Panic", this story is about a group of friends who face an impossible and unthinkable decision after an unfortunate dare leads to a deadly circumstance. While the decision weighs on them in different ways, things become complex for their friendships as trusting each other becomes harder and loyalties are tested. In order to protect their secret, will they turn to drastic measures to make sure that the secret stays safe? Because like the saying goes, "two can keep a secret if one of them is dead"....and there are lots of people that could ruin their futures if the wrong person were to find out. And as always the surprise twist at the end war brilliant! Another smash hit from Natasha and I'm *dying* for the next!

i never read a book by this author before and i really did enjoy it, i really recommend it to people who want a mystery or even a thriller book and loves this type of genre

Thank you NetGalley and Random House for this ARC. I have read numerous Natasha Preston books that I enjoyed and this one is definitely on the top of my list. It was such an exciting read. The plot twist at the end of this book really surprised me. I could not figure it out. It was so hard for me to put this book down and I love the ending because it brought everything together so nicely! I would definitely recommend this book and it’s amazing Author. Thank you.

I’m not sure if my life has been so chaotic lately that it’s made my brain a little frazzled, or this book kinda seemed all over the place and hard to focus. Honestly, could be a little of both. However, it all came together in the end. Very fast paced, I mean Natasha hit the ground running with this one. Kept me intrigued the whole time. Def had that suspense element.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for giving me a copy of this book. All comments are my own.

The last couple books I’ve read by this author were okay but I decided to give another book a try.

I devoured this book so fast and I was loving it. I thought the plot was good and the characters were well written. This book was a 5 star until literally the last chapter. I think the ending just ruined this book.

It literally made no sense what so ever for it to end the way it did. I was disappointed honestly and I had high hopes for this one because of how the rest of it was.

I’m giving 3 stars because as I said most of this book was great. I just think the ending was random and didn’t even go with the book. I get wanting to have twist but it needs to have a twist that makes sense and this one did not.

I really enjoyed this book! It was thrilling, enticing, and kept me wanting more. The twists and turns were really good! I could see a couple of things coming but a couple I for sure did not! It reminds me a little bit of One of Us is Lying just in a couple of aspects.

Thank you @netgalley and Natasha for allowing me to read this eARC! Grab yours on May 7th 🖤

Rating: ★★★★☆

I really wanted to LOVE this book, because it sounded like a fun read. So, I dove right in and I wound up skim reading it and wishing I had just DNFed it. I found the story to be flat and the characters to be very unlikeable. This whole idea of 'dares' being forced upon the graduating senior class was ridiculous. How can one student make you do anything? And why would he care if you joined in on the 'dares'? It was just too over the top. Especially since the consequences of not performing the 'dares' could result in you being forced out of town or expelled from your future college. How insane is that?! Anyhow, I read and figured some things out pretty quickly, but mainly I just skim read. I didn't like the characters enough to care what happened to them all. And, when all was revealed I was not shocked, nor did I think the twists were that great. Overall, it was a rather ho hum read. And, that is all I will write about this book. I will share that it does have great reviews, so you could very well love it. Definitely give it a go, if you are in the mood for a YA suspense-mystery read.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this arc in exchange for my review! 😊

3.5 stars

I’ve read multiple Natasha Preston books and will always say that if you are looking for a quick, fast-paced read to binge her books are certainly for you!

This book was a mysterious take on senior pranks gone wrong and had a twisted ending! If you are looking for a good YA thriller/mystery novel this is perfect!

While it wasn’t my favorite of hers, I enjoyed the quickness of it and how easy it was to digest and understand.

Thank you NetGalley! I loved The Dare. This is my favorite Natasha Preston book that I’ve read so far. It sucks you in right from the beginning and keeps you enthralled the entire time

The Dare is typical YA suspense, but I wouldn't put it up there with Truly Devious, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, I Killed Zoe Spanos, etc. I definitely got vibes from a 90's cult classic (ahem), and there was just too much happening. The main character was a little thrown away; she just didn't have anything that kept me rooting for her. It was repetitive and lacking a ton of substance. Entertaining? Yes. Well written and developed? No.

The plot twist at the end had me shocked! I did not see that coming at all.

This book is very well written and keeps you engaged! I thought I had the story figured out, and, well I didn’t.

Thank you for the ARC!

This was a great young adult thriller! I couldn’t put this one down and would love to utilize it for a class literature circle! Completely recommend!

Thank you for the ARC of this book. I really enjoyed this book. I found it riveting and intriguing but I'm conflicted about the ending. I highly recommend reading this book!

#NetGalleyARC I really enjoyed this book. This authors books always make me want to curl up with a warm blanket, a cup of hot chocolate, and scare myself silly. Yet another great thrilling and suspenseful read from Preston. A perfect read for the fall!

Sucked you in from the start wondering what the heck lol. Captivating start to finish as always Natasha writing is phenomenal ! Character and plot developments were beautifully executed !!

I love Natasha Preston’s books but unfortunately this one didn’t hit the mark for me. I enjoyed the characters but it seemed a lot like “I know what you did last summer” I did however enjoy the twist at the end-I didn’t see that comming.-over all good job.
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this arc.

Thank you to Random House, Net Galley, and Natasha Preston for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

It’s senior year and the senior pranks are in full swing, Marley along with her boyfriend, Atlas, best friend, Luce and her boyfriend, Jesse are thrown into the dares. The dares/pranks are issued by Rhett, a rich senior whose brothers have been running the dares for years. If you turn down one of Rhett’s dares, he exposes a secret about you. Marley, Atlas, Jesse, and Luce are dared to drive down a dangerous stretch of road with no headlights on. Something awful happens that night. Can the four of them keep the secret? Who can you really trust?

This one kept me guessing until the end. I think it is a good YA book and others will enjoy it.

This book was so good! It was super intense, and I could not put it down! I loved how there were so many little plot twists, until everything was finally figured out at the end! I really loved the ending, too, it was such a surprise and a great way to tie up all the little loose ends while still being super interesting!

Natasha Preston never disappoints!!!! I have yet to find a book of hers that does not grip me from the very first sentence. When you open this book, you will see what I am talking about. Her characters are well developed the plot as well written in the storyline as well executed. The twist are not predictable. I definitely recommend picking this book up but do not do it late at night because you won’t get any sleep. You will be up all night to finish it. :)

This was probably one of my favorite Natasha Preston books I’ve ever read and for reference I’ve read basically all of them except for a few 😊.

This book had me hooked from page 1! There were twists and turns along the way that had me guessing which kept me interested throughout the entire book.

The BIG twist I would have never guessed EVER.

Thank you, NetGalley for letting me read and review this early access book. It was FANTASTIC 🙌🏻😍. Everything I love in a thriller and MORE!
