When a simple round of truth or dare spins out of control, three girls find it’s no longer a party game. It’s do or die.

It all started on a whim: the game was a way for Tenley Reed to reclaim her popularity, a chance for perfect Caitlin “Angel” Thomas to prove she’s more than her Harvard application. Loner Sydney Morgan wasn’t eventhere; she was hiding behind her camera like usual. But when all three start receiving mysterious dares long after the party has ended, they’re forced to play along—or risk exposing their darkest secrets.

How far will Tenley, Caitlin and Sydney go to keep the truth from surfacing? And who’s behind this twisted game?

Set against the backdrop of Echo Bay, an isolated beach town haunted by misfortune, Truth or Dare is a highly charged debut that will keep readers in suspense from beginning to end.

Being a fan of mystery novels, I was extremely excited for this one. Three girls, who suddenly got targeted with dare notes that they had to do, or else. It was definitely interesting because I've always liked the game Truth or Dare, and I thought it would be fun reading what dares the mystery person would throw on them. I really liked that it was told from all three girls point's of vies. That way, I was able to really get to know each one of them in a personal level. It was interesting that the girls weren't three best friends,  but they all came from different places. 

Caitlin, Tenley, and Sydney were very interesting characters to read about. They were all different from each other, and I guess that's what I most liked about it. I was really able to connect to all three character as well, and they all felt real. If I had to choose a favorite character, it would definitely be Sydney! I loved that she was into photography, and that she was not into the whole "party" life that most teenagers go through. The romance in this book was just AWESOME! I don't know, but I just LOVED Sydney and Graham! Though there was a lot of jealousy and dirty tricks and etc.

Overall, Truth or Dare was a very enjoyable read. The ending was just TRAAGIC! I seriously need to find out what happens next, and I think the last 50 pages were the best! I do think it felt a bit draggy towards the middle, and there were some moments were I got a bit bored, but I still really liked reading it! Fans of Pretty Little Liars and Burn for Burn will love this book!
