MY REVIEW
I had to let the story take me where it wanted me to go…down the path of twisted fantasy…because I didn’t like most of the characters and I didn’t think she would play the game, but who knows what peer pressure would lead us to do as she plays to solve the mystery of the surprise guest and face the danger that awaits her, all while the suspense throughout kept me reading…knowing it was coming…making me wonder, when…

GOODREADS BLURB
What happens when a party game turns deadly?
For her 21st birthday, Abbie Reed’s friends throw her a surprise party and plan an outrageous game of 21 Dares. The rules are simple: Abbie must follow each dare to the letter as they pop-up on her phone–each one sent as a text message from a secret guest. Starting off funny, if not a little humiliating, the dares send Abbie and her friends across her college campus and through downtown Tampa. But the closer they get to the mystery man behind the text messages, the more deadly the dares become.
Harboring a vendetta against Abbie, the mysterious guest won’t stop until she pays. Now, it’s up to Abbie to figure out who he is and what he wants, before her 21st birthday becomes her last.

Even the blurb is suspenseful!
I love that!
If I don’t like the characters, I need a really, really good plot to keep me reading. At least you had that, right?
I totally agree. Sometimes I’m in the mood to be a hater. LOL
I’ve been reading a bunch of books in this genre over the holiday break. This looks familiar. I’m going to check and see if I have it. I love these one sentence reviews you do, Sherry. It’s not easy but you are really good at it.
Thanks Laura. Let me know what you think if you read it.
Weill this one sounds pretty intense. Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, it was intense and I did enjoy it. 🙂
