Review: The Dare

The Dare The Dare by Natasha Preston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It is a senior tradition for a series of pranks to be completed.  Most of the dares are innocent.  Egging houses, releasing chickens, and similar pranks.  Unfortunately, the dares keep escalating, and when Jesse is dared to drive a dangerous road with no lights … the inevitable happens.  A man is dead and four friends have covered it up.  Can they trust each other?  What other secrets were being kept?

The Dare is a stand-alone mystery that will pull readers in immediately and keep them engaged throughout.  The final climax doesn’t happen until the last chapter and that made this pulse-pounding mystery that much more enjoyable.  Preston has created characters with hidden depth, even if I can’t believe the actual events would be possible (although they are plausible).  The Dare is a great escape read for all Preston and mystery fans.
