If You Dare: Terrifying, suspenseful and a masterclass in thriller storytelling Paperback – June 29, 2017

I love all her books and this was no exception. Good read.

Some weeks ago did I read my very first Erica Spindler book, The Other Girl, and I absolutely loved it. Then, I read the novella Random Acts: Prequel to the Lightkeepers Series and found it to be OK, not as good as The Other Girl, but good enough for me to be curious enough to want to read this series. So, when I got the chance to read If You Dare did I go for it.This is book two in The Lightkeepers series, but thanks to Random Acts did I know enough about Micki's background to understand and know her, despite having not read the first book. And, let me tell you this book is fabulous. There is just something about Spindler's way of writing that pulls me in and I really like the characters in this book. I love detective Micki "Mad Dog" Dare, she is a tough cop, but there is something vulnerable over her, she has built walls around her to protect herself from being hurt. And, Zack "Hollywood" Harris is, besides being her psychic partner perhaps the one to break down the walls (if they both survive to do so of course).I liked the story in this book, however, it did now and then feel a bit predictable., Not in the boring kind of way, more in that was quite easy to see that Angel's (Micki's friend) need for love and acceptance make her an easy prey. And, that is the one thing that I felt just make the book not reach the 5-star that I was tempted to give it for a while when I read the book. I simply would have loved some more surprises. However, one a side note, I fully understood Angel, her situation, I was never annoyed with her decisions throughout the book. She's young and a bit naive.I like the book, the battle between good and evil. Have I finally found a romantic surprise series that work for me? It could be the paranormal angle that make it work for me, and that Spindler really writes so well that even Micki and Zacks obvious attraction to each other works for me. Me, that usually have a hard time with romance in books. Also, I really, really like Eli, Parker (Lightkeepers), etc. And I'm looking forward to reading the first book to get to know more about the Lightkeeper. Btw, I did order the first book when I was little over halfway through the book. And, I can't wait to get the book!Any other Erica Spindler books I should buy and read?4.5 stars!

🌟🌟🌟🌟 Fabulous Stars.I didn't realise If You Dare (The Lightkeepers #2) By Erica Splinder was the second book in this series.It probably would have been better to read book one first despite this "If You Dare" was very easy to interpret and told the back-story of this series splendidly.Now You could technically read this as a standalone, but my recommendation would be start at the very beginning, it's a very good place to start usually ha ha.Now after playing some catch up I quickly fell into the story of dark and light bearers and the age old battle of good versus evil.Erica Spindler has really managed to create a vivid world that was so easy to get absorbed into, immersing myself fully into this other domain.The book picks up where the previous one leaves us.we have Our two detectives, Mikki, who has recovered from her injuries but is feeling that a lot is being kept from her, she feels on the outside partially, out in the cold, but not understanding exactly why.Then there's her partner Zach who is half/ half lighter but is much more in the picture regarding information sharing and has been ordered to keep stum. keeping his partner in the dark is something he struggles with as well as certain feelings towards Mikki he so shouldn't be entertaining.There's also Angel eighteen and struggling with her independence and Mikki's set boundaries, A Rebellious teenager in love for the first time with the mysterious Seth who comes with a very creepy but rich uncle.This whole story is a puzzle with the pieces just waiting to be slotted together and everybody has a part to play in the bigger picture.There are so many interesting and diverse secondary character's in this tale as well as the three main players Mikki, Zach and Angel. I love that we get to crawl inside this trios heads seeing different interpretations of events as they unfolded.All the characters here were fleshed out well and the story just flowed for me effortlessly, keeping my attention throughout.I found reading If You Dare an enjoyable experience and I would be happy to recommend it to others, my only advice would be Start at book one first before proceeding to the Finish line makes things a whole lot easier overall.Thank you to the Publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an arc of If You Dare, this is my own honest and unbiased opinion.

I love and have read most of Erica Spindler's books, but this one was too far fetched, hard to follow and boring.

I sent several emails to tell them that I did not want the book in French!!!!!!!! Now I have a book that I can't read!!!!!!

I enjoyed the first book in the series (Final Seven), so ordered Triple Six and the next one - Fallen Five, along with another Erica Spindler novel If you Dare. Having read the first three, I moved onto If you Dare, only to find it is actually Triple Six - same book, different title! Why would the publishers do this??? I enjoyed the first one which was more about crime fighting but the second and third books descended into the hierarchy and fighting between The Lightkeepers and dark forces. Feel cheated!

Enjoy her books

The second book in the series is as great as the first, dont miss it.Cant fault it, well worth reading

Great thriller, love this writer have all her books.

Enjoyed immensely, love all her books
