IF YOU DARE
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
I am terribly sad that this book is finally finished, that the series has now ended. I could honestly say that on those days that i was reading Deanna Madden series I had grown to love the characters in it, especially Deanna herself. I truly enjoy her story and twisted world. She's one of the characters that I knew I will always remember. She's the bad ass girl in 6E.
I wish there were more books on this series, but I do understand why a story has to end. The ending on this book is not what I wanted to be honest, but I do agree on the author and not complain about it. I wish to see a happy Deanna at the end and I know that it wouldn't happen if she will stay. She knew that in herself and so she decided to leave.
But there is one thing that i wish I had seen.. It's Mike and Deanna meeting in person. God, I love Mike's character! I think they deserve to see each other and meet up. It's just bad that the story ended and it didn't happened!
Anyway, this trilogy cemented A.R. Torre's spot on my list of authors to watch out for. She impressed me with her story and her writing style. I wanted to read more of her books!

I loved the first two books in this series, so I was hesitant to start reading this one after reading the back. Nevertheless, I'm glad I got through it and that, unsurprisingly, it didn't turn out the way I thought it would. I'm hoping that Jeremy will still be in the next installment, even if his relationship with Deanna won't ever be the same, and, of course, I'd like to see more of Mike. If/when the next book comes out, I'll be looking forward to reading it.

Unfortunately I was a little underwhelmed with this one...
I wasn't all that crazy with how this one ended. I guess I was suppose to feel something about the whole Jeremy situation, but I really didn't. I blame this on the fact that Jeremy was a really underdeveloped character in this series IMO. After three books I was expecting to at least get a better picture of who he was and what he felt, but nope.
In anycase, overall I enjoyed this series and am glad I gave it a go.

I'm speechless! WOW!!!
My #1 read of 2015!!! Just wow!!!
Dear Readers:
If you Dare is a book that totally had me speechless at the end. Like I was in a book Hangover for 2 days because I was wrapping my mind about everything.
It will mess with your head, you will be wrong in your theories of who did what and what will happen and that is what makes a great book!
I Dare you to 1 click this book & take the plunge into the Girl in 6E world.... DO IT!
If you Dare....are you prepared to find out what Deanna has done?
If you Dare...to see what happens to Jeremy?
If you Dare... will Mike be able to help Deanna or will she have to figure out everything on her own?
If you Dare...can you forgive Deanna?
If you Dare...will we ever find out what really started this all?
If you Dare...will you be prepared with a box of tissues, snuggled up in your book nook and ready to read non stop?
If You Dare...will you recover once you finish reading?
I seriously loved this book! I'm a sucker for a good mystery that has me guessing till the last page and then some. The whole series by +Alessandra Torre is just phenomenal!
This is my #1 MUST READ book of 2015!

Weakest of the three but still good. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Jeremy so I’m glad he was out. I wish there were more books to explore her life after with mike and Derek, I liked her vigilante killings and would have loved more in the serious of her giving justice to sickos, but I understand why it ended as it did.

I guess this is my least favorite of the three. It could've been much better or had a slightly longer resolution.
