Review: ebook provided by NetGalley and the publisher














Halloween night. The freaks are out and having the time of their lives. The kids of Greene Point High School have organized a massive bonfire out in the woods. One drunken teen suggests playing a game, a game called Truth or Dare. That's always a fun game. Always good for a laugh. By the end of this night, nobody will be laughing. Alcohol, sex, deadly secrets, and oceans of blood await them. Do you dare to play?
TRUTH OR DARE is a shared-world horror anthology featuring the morbid writings of Joe McKinney, Nik Korpon, Jeremy C. Shipp, Jessica McHugh, Peter & Shannon Giglio, William Meikle, and many, many more.


I received this book via NetGalley to give an honest review.
I actually thought I downloaded this book via NetGalley but it must not have went through so I bought the book instead as it was archived before I got to it.

This is a book that I think the teenagers and YA will enjoy. They are random short stories that are decently good. Truth or Dare? It is a game many play but for the students of Greene Point High School it may be much more than that. What will each teen that is picked take a truth or a dare? Sometimes the truth is harder than the dare and some of the kids will learn this the hard way. 
This is anthology from a group of authors who have some great creepy stories to tell it all goes together one story ending and the other coming into play with a different character. Some of them were creepy, others for me were just okay nothing creepy or scary , and the rest I was some times lost and confused with the story.  The two stories  I did enjoy are below.
 1.An Unpleasant Truth About Death- this one was ghostly 
2. The Shadow Life of Suburbia- really creepy with twins. Makes you truly think about it.
 If you are looking for something different a combination of different minds coming together to tell stories then pick this one up. As far as being a good Halloween stories I am not quite sure on that one, though I would say reading it around Halloween could be good.  Because of this book and seeing a lot of new authors come to light for me there are few that I will be looking into their work.

Let me welcome Author Teri Polen for an interview. I read her book Sarah which I got from NetGalley and let me tell you it was actually a really good read. If you click on the link you can read my review. What truly pulled me to requesting the book was the cover. I know, I know, you should never just get a book by its cover but you know sometimes the cover catches your eye and you just have to read it. I was very happy and surprised to have the author contact me. I think in all my requesting from NetGalley I have had maybe two authors contact me. So I jumped on the chance to interview Mrs. Polen. Check out her interview and enter into the giveaway that she was kind enough to do.
