The Dare

The Dare by #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Natasha Preston is back with another pulse-pounding, twisty read that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

In the seemingly idyllic town where Marley resides, high school seniors are given a dare as a rite of passage. What starts as harmless pranks — like egging houses, filling balloons with glitter, or letting chickens loose in school halls — soon turns into something far more sinister.

However, this is no child's play. Accepting a dare means risking severe consequences: expulsion, arrest, or even worse. The stakes are high, and no one wants to be the one who backs down. But as Marley and her friends get entangled deeper into these dares, they begin to realize that saying yes can have perilous outcomes. The town's dark secrets start unveiling themselves, and danger lurks around every corner.

With each dare becoming increasingly dangerous, Marley must navigate the treacherous waters of peer pressure and self-preservation. Can she uncover the truth before it’s too late? Or will the dares spiral out of control, leading to devastating consequences?

Natasha Preston masterfully weaves a tale of suspense and intrigue, highlighting the pressures of societal expectations and the lengths to which people will go to fit in. Perfect for fans of gripping psychological thrillers, The Dare will challenge your perception of innocence and push you to question just how far you would go to prove yourself.
