Dare Me

Way back in April of last year when I read I DARE YOU I was blown away by how awesome it was. So when I heard there would be a book two I knew I had to get my hands on a copy. Unfortunately, It just didn't WOW me like book one did. It felt choppy, and the plot jumped all over the place. I also thought it got a bit repetitive at times with scenes that had already taken place in book one. I guess after finishing this one, part of me feels a little like this book wasn't 100% necessary. I mean, book one ended on a several years later epilogue.  shrug

 
However, it wasn't all bad. I am dying to know what Bennet is up to and more importantly “WHO” he was sleeping with. I have a couple theories (that I will keep to myself). I was also intrigued by Deke and Becky's twisted and fucked up storyline. Enough to read book three? Well, I have to be honest, at this point I am not sure. I guess it depends IF Deke is paired with Becky. Neither of them were particularly likable. Well Deke was until near the end when his anger towards Becky seemed a tad hypocritical all things considered. Their relationship was also a hot mess of secrets, lies, and (what appears to be) cheating, etc. So I figure we will be in for a shit ton of other people drama in that book. Time will tell I guess!



SIDE NOTE: I wasn't too keen on the slut shaming of Becky in this book. Especially considering all the male characters got around plenty. I found it distasteful that they called her a slut for what she wore and the fact she slept around. In fact, I had to go back and read over my review for SLAUGHTER (no connection to this series) because I was sure I was turned off by the slut shaming in that book. And...YUP, there was slut shaming in that book as well. Sigh...not cool author, not cool.
