If You Dare by A.R. Torre

calliek927's review against another edition

4.0

In my opinion, this series doesn't get enough credit. It's not super steamy, but the storytelling is incredible, and I have become so attached to these characters. I need to see more of Deanna Madden and Jeremy. I expected this one to be Deanna completely in jail the entire time, but this was so much more.

To be honest, I avoided this one for a bit because I didn't want to read about Deanna/Jessica being imprisoned, but I really admire the way it was portrayed here. We have our psychotic cam-girl and her boyfriend, a hot UPS guy, and this is a continuation of their twisted story.

This entire series is fantastic while not super smutty. But I'd rate the entire series a 5, rounding up from 4.75.

I loved Deanna, but this book hurt my heart a bit, it’s not where I thought this would end, but I also don’t hate it. I love a fictional woman who knows how to kill and I loved the journey that this er0tic thriller took me on.

I loved how this ended. I didn't think there was any other way for this to end. I seriously LOVE this author for going this route. Major applause.

Too often you see characters like this "fixed" all because of love or whatever else. The fact that there was no magical cure for her, made this series go from good to great.

*3/5*
my least favourite of the trilogy, but still engaging.

I would love more Deanna Madden books.. I kind of need to see where she goes next, what shenanigans she will get herself into.

Spoiler

but I'm heartbroken because of the whole Jeremy storyline. I love him. I love them.

I’m so sad this series is over. I’m going to miss Deanna. Really enjoyed all three books in this series and hope the author decides to write more of Deanna & Jeremy.

This one just didn't grip me nearly as much as the first two, but I liked the resolution and where the story went enough for it to be an overall better reading experience for me than the 2nd book. Not enough spice in this one either!
