5 SURVIVAL STARS!! Wow….This book had me on rtf he edge of my seat all the way through. There was mystery, suspense, angst, bullying and love. I could not put it down. You definitely need to read this book.
This freaking book is genius- dark romantic bully twisted suspense- I literally devoured this book in one sitting. I really love the whole “I dare you” concept and the games they play. Just damn. Everything about this book had me constantly guessing. It’s dark and twisted. The twists and turns in this book had my head spinning with my mouth completely open. I freaking love that the girls are just as screwed up. You want a book to bring out all that twisted stuff inside you head, read this freaking series !
Just wow this book was mindblowning. Twists and turns will make your head and heart spin.
Cole and Deke take friendship to a whole new level. Their loyalty knows no bounds. This was as beautiful as it was sick! Becky was also great. She went off the rails being vengeful in her hatred towards her sister.
I can highly recommend it and can’t wait what the author does next!
Absolutely Amazing Book!!!
This book blew me away! It was nothing like I thought it would be and I absolutely freaking LOVED it!!! I could not put it down!
When I read the first two books of this trilogy, I really wasn’t sure how I felt about Deke Biggs. He was either frightening and seemingly unfeeling in his vicious acts toward those he believed had acted wrongly or he was mooning over his girlfriend Becky Holt, an apparent bubbleheaded slut, who eventually shows her true nature (which, much as I want to, I’m not going to discuss further – no spoilers here). But If You Dare is Deke’s story and, suddenly, I’m viewing Deke in a different light. After you burrow under the surface a bit, his loyalty and caring and protective nature really shows, as does his stoic belief about right and wrong.
The character who surprised me the most, though, was Demi Holt, Becky’s one year younger sister. She acted like such a stuck up brat through much of the two previous books in this series, that when her true nature was revealed it was difficult to believe for a while. I kept waiting for the next shoe to drop and reveal something else.
This is the final volume of a continuing trilogy and you need to read it in order. It’s definitely worth the read. Shantel Tessier certainly knows how to develop and tell a story, how to create memorable characters, how to fill it with heat, darkness, angst and fury, all the while throwing in unexpected curves and turns in the road while she takes you along on the journey. But, oh what a ride!
Holy S**T! This was not what I was expecting and I loved it so much. I can not believe the rabbit hole Shantel is able to produce! The book sucks you in and keeps you guessing the entire read.
Well done Shantel!
This was a mind twisted book. I devoured this book, I almost pulled an all-nighter, but forced myself to go to bed. The sharks strike again and was chilling to the bones. More secrets and truths come out! Dekes story was so good and loved it. I hope Bennett gets a story!
This book was AMAZING! I loved it ! I liked that we got to see Cole and Austin in it and how their doing , I loved this bully romance it was filled with drama and angst and ughh Deke is so hot ! The betrayal, the secrets that come out you guys don’t want to miss this and if you haven’t read the other two this can be read as a stand-alone but I would read the other two first for a better understanding and for the full experience of The Dare series. I can’t say enough about this series it is definitely one of my favorite bully romances of 2019 and THE GWS ARE LIFE !!!
I binged this whole series! It was dark and delicious, unique and refreshing, with so many twists and turns! This Author was new to me and now I am hooked. I didn’t see this one coming. This series is a must read for Dark Bully Romance lovers.
Shantel Tessier
Wow. Wow. JUST WOW. What did I just read? But seriously, I devoured this book so quickly. Readers are thrown back into the lives of the GWS, but this time they are in college and the stakes just became a whole lot bigger. From Austin and Cole to Deke, Demi and Becky, this book kept me on the edge of my seat and I found myself having to go back and reread the paragraphs just to make sure I had read them correctly! There were so many twists, turns and surprises that I was not expecting, I didn’t want it to end. The writing was brilliant, the plot superb and all of the loose ends/questions I had from the rest of the series came together perfectly!! If You Dare is an absolute MASTERPIECE. Thank you, Shantel!!!
Shantel has done it again!!! Oh man Deke I just love you. At first I truly wanted to see someone redeem herself, but as the story went on I absolutely despised her and thought she deserved so much more from the sharks. I loved that Cole and Austin were apart of the book as well. Can’t wait to read more “the end….for now”. Nice job Shantel, keep them coming and I’ll keep reading them for sure.
If You Dare is Amazing! I am still thinking about this book! I always loved Deje and was so excited for his story. This book is full of surprises and twists i did not see coming. Like the other books this one is very dark and the characters are disturbing but you call in love with them! I loved seeing Cole and Austin as well as the others. I highly recommend this book and the series! This book will leave you with book handover for sure!
Oh my word, where to begin with this book. Liker seriously there is sooo much that happened and i’m still in shock. Shantel has a way of taking what you think you know and throwing curve balls. Honestly I never would have thought what happened and with who. I mean if you haven’t read the book then skip this review. I thought there was something strange with Becky through the whole series but i could never in a million years imagined what she did.
This book is a rollercoaster of emotions and Shantels takes your world and turns it upside down and pulls out your heart then breaks and and put all the pieces back together by the end. I absolutely love this series!!!!
Let me just say that Shantel Tessier is definitely a one-click author for me and if nothing else, If You Dare absolutely confirms that statement. As much as I enjoyed Deke in I Dare You and I Promise You, I wasn’t sure if he could top my love for Cole.
Boy, was I wrong.
Deke is EVERYTHING. He’s darkness, he’s madness, his demons dance just beneath the surface and in his story, they break free. But whose demons join his? Deke isn’t a good man, don’t fool yourself otherwise. However, he does show moments of goodness and his unyielding loyalty to those he loves is inspiring.
Becky still has her sights set on Deke, but there’s a new player on the board and while Becky is playing checkers, the new blood is playing chess. All eyes are on Deke, but who does he end up with?
So many twists and turns that keep you guessing until the end! We got answers to any lingering questions, plus new information was brought to light that threw me for a loop. I was hooked right off the bad and the drama just kept getting amped up with each chapter.
This isn’t a fairy tale. It’s a love story drenched in blood, in madness, in betrayal and secrets. But, I promise it is well worth it
This is what Shantel Tessier does best. Her characters and story development are on point! I love her work and am excited each time I get to read a new book from her. I am looking forward to more.
”Don’t fuck with me because you won’t survive it.”
What. In. The. Hell!
I very nearly didn’t survive If you Dare because Shantel Tessier just made Deke fuck shit up! If like me, you love psychopathic alpha hero’s then this is the series for you!
“A beautiful mess and a demon.”
This quote perfect describes Deke and his love interest (who is a secret) can you guess who?
“I’m not afraid of you.”
“That’s your first mistake.”
”The second?”
”Playing me.”
The back and forth, the cat and mouse games is what I love! I love when the heroine is just as strong as the hero.
You get to see all of the GWS in this book so if you loved Cole, make sure you check this book out as he and Austin are in it a lot and you get to see Austin as a shark too which was epic!
If you love dark, intense reads that give you heart palpations then start today and read the great white sharks….If you Dare…
his book was a really good read! Deke snuck up on me. I wasn’t sure how I felt about him when I read I Dare You, but now he’s easily a favorite of mine. He’s extremely loyal to people he cares about. Would die protecting them and do anything for them. He’s a good evil and he’s hot! I loved the dynamic between him and Demi. I felt like she was a perfect match to go toe to toe with Deke. I want more!
‘I’ve never been close to my sister, but I’ve hated her the last couple of years. Ever since she tried to take something from me, I vowed I was going to make her pay. No matter what I had to do, I was going to break her f*cking cold, dead heart.’
I don’t even know where to start with this book. I loved book one and two, and at the end of epilogue two in book two, I was left freaking out! I had so many questions, wondering where this was going to go, who to trust, if Kellen was alive, and felt that Becky was a conniving little ho lol. Let me start by saying—you will never guess which way this book is going to go.
If You Dare was a thrilling and suspenseful book that kept me on my toes with every turn of the page. Just when I thought I had something figured out, it drastically went a different way. Characters you thought were good go bad, and those you questioned redeem themselves. I love the back and forth and the heat and anger between the hero and heroine. I love that each could take as hard as they gave. I love the unpredictability and the constant twists and turns. And most of all, I love how perfect they were for each other. This book had the perfect concoction of heat, angst, mystery, and WTF moments to keep your heart racing and mind turning. It was phenomenal! My favorite scene was by far the room at ‘Silence’ — the haunted house. Never saw that coming!
I will wait impatiently to see if the other characters get books and hope this wasn’t the end.
I am so excited about the next book in the Dare Series!! Deke’s book was nothing short of amazing! It was Dark and Twisty and just like Shantel!! The surprises that popped up throughout this book left me nothing short of stunned and going OMG what is gonna seriously happen next! I like that she also ties into Cole and Austin’s relationship from Book 1 so you know where things are for them as well. I love this book and cannot wait to find out what will be the next book in this series.
This story is so twisted, you can not predict what will happen next!! My first time reading Shantel Tessier – I liked this cover and had never heard of her before – now I am about to go and get books 1 & 2.
Deke is a BOSS!! The character had me on the edge of my seat throughout this book. Them to add the other guys in the crew…wow!
The female characters are no damsels in distress, these are strong independent women who add to the twists and turns in this story making even more twisted! A definite must read.
