So not too long ago I had the pleasure of stumbling across an author I had never read before named Ember Casey. I fell a little bit in love with her book His Wicked Games so you can imagine my delight when I was surfing through Amazon the other night and found Truth or Dare. His Wicked Games ended on a good note, we got to see the completion of that story but defiantly didn’t want to let these two characters go just yet. Thankfully Ms. Casey heard our pleas and brought us Truth or Dare. Now that most of the cards are on the table can Lily and Calder actually have anything resembling normal? Can Lily find her feet with Calder or will he always run the show? We have to read to find out and Ms. Casey doesn’t disappoint.One of the stand out things in this book is that it isn’t the same thing we read in the first book. Yes, there is a game but it’s a recurring theme rather then a formula for the book. Lily and Calder are brought back together in the real world this time, not the bubble they created for themselves during Wicked Games. This means real problems and there are a few! I loved how they tried to be a normal couple but for a bunch of reason they really aren’t and there is almost nothing wrong with not being normal. It’s nice to see more of Calder and Lily’s growth as individuals as well as a couple. Lily really tries to put herself on a level playing field with Calder even if she is terribly out matched and with the whole world now aware of Calder’s situation things only get more complicated. The way Calder handles this is shocking but once you sit back and think about it, of course that’s what he would do. Keeping their relationship from Lily’s father killed me because there was no real reason for it. With the exception of Morgan I pretty much loved everyone! Morgan however needs to catch a clue and learn when to leave. You’ll know what I mean when you get to that part! Though there were times I would have loved to see Lily stand up for what she wanted more. She still gives in a little too easy but I kind of get it, he is amazing and a sweet talker. And I loved the banter back and forth, it was so much fun.The kink in this book is exactly what I have come to expect from Ms. Casey. I’m not just talking about the sex which is hot enough on its own, but think kink. The game really expands their horizons and in some cases Lily’s boundaries. It was surprising to see Calder push Lily and Lily actually say no. And when sex is off the table according to Calder you really get to see a deeper side of him. Watch out for the rest stop, it almost made my heart stop.All I can say is if you are looking for a fun book you need to pick up this series. It has just enough silly to keep it light and just enough real to make you feel for these characters. If you haven’t started reading Ember Casey yet you are missing out in ways I can’t even explain to you.
