I love a story that manages to give me goosebumps and “aww” moments all at the same time, and If You Dare managed to do just that.I loved that the tables were turned in this one. Instead of girl-likes-boy-but-doesn’t-have-the-guts-to-tell-him, it was more like girl-thinks-boy’s-a-douche-and-shouldn’t-be-alive. With a male character that has been crushing on the female character for two years, this story had some interesting twists.When Marcus Black dares Lily McIntyre to stay in a haunted house for a whole night on Friday the 13th, she accepts, because if she wins, she gets a trip to Hawaii and if she loses, she has to go to an awards dinner with Marcus. But Marcus has other plans. For one he really cares about her, and having her lose the bet is a sure-fire way for him to get a date.When Marcus’s plans go awry, we find the characters stuck together in the haunted house. Throw in some weird sounds, a strange blackout, and a man who can make you feel safe, well, you can all guess where that leads. Then you put in a ghost or two and you are well-spooked, yet pleasantly romanced.This is a definite must-read.
