For fans of Riley Sager and Wendy Walker, Jessica Hamilton's Don't
You Dare is a searing look at the things we are willing to do in the
name of friendship; a spine-tingling suspense filled with secrets and
lies.
When best friends Hannah and Scarlett meet Thomas in college--the
chemistry is instantaneous. They grow closer while playing the Daring
Game, where each dare is riskier than the last. As the trio's friendship
begins to cross boundaries between the platonic and the illicit,
jealousy and secrets quickly develop. As tensions between the three
grow, so do the stakes in the Daring Game, resulting in tragedy with
Scarlett's final dare to Thomas. When Thomas gets expelled from school
and leaves without a trace, it seems like the Daring Game has finally
ended.
Sixteen years later, Hannah is unhappy in marriage and in life. That is,
of course, until she gets a mysterious letter about the Daring Game from
none other than Thomas himself. With Scarlett out of the picture, and a
renewal of the dangerous game, the sparks begin to fly between them once
more. Until the day Hannah and Thomas are called to the secret meeting
place of the Daring Game, where they're welcomed by a single dare--"to
tell the truth."
Someone else has joined the game and knows about their affair, going as
far as leaving a cryptic message in Hannah's house: Don't You Dare.
Hannah's list of suspects is long: Could it be her nosy neighbor, Libby,
who has a few secrets of her own? Or did her husband plan this as
revenge for the torrid affair? Is Scarlett back and ready to play again?
The truth may set Hannah free--but only if she dares to risk everything
she knows and loves.
