About this ebook
"The terrifying finale is a doozy, and Ky is a capable (can you say muay thai?), whip-smart, snarky joy. Readers will follow her anywhere, no matter how dangerous. Dark and thrilling." —Kirkus
When her FBI agent father is framed for murder, Kylene is forced to move in with her grandfather, back to the small town that turned its back on her, and the boy who betrayed her.
All Ky cares about is clearing her father’s name, but someone won’t let her forget the photo scandal that drove her away two years ago. As the threats gain momentum, Ky finds an unlikely ally in the rookie FBI agent sent to keep an eye on her.
Determined to expose the town's hidden skeletons, Ky unwittingly thrusts herself into a much bigger plot. They thought she’d forgive and forget. They’re about to learn they messed with the wrong girl.
"A quick-witted heroine, a fast-paced plot, and a twisty whodunit mystery kept me on my toes. Fans of Riverdale will adore Kylene Danners and devour this suspenseful story." —USA Today bestselling author K.A. Tucker

Reviews for Dare You to Lie
10 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5"Dare You to Lie" was a fast-paced thriller with a fabulous protagonist. I loved Kylene (Ky) from the start. She had a smart mouth that lacked a filter and she tended to act first and think later. However, she didn't lack courage. Too often she found herself in situations beyond her depth, but she refused to back down in any of them.As the book progressed, it was obvious that the mystery and hidden secrets went far deeper than Ky ever suspected. It was difficult to know which of the townspeople were trustworthy, and which weren't. Although the ending was satisfactory, there were questions left unanswered but I am sure their answers will be revealed in subsequent sequels.Ky wa supported by some wonderful secondary characters including Gramps, Garrett (her best friend), Tabby, A.J. and Detective Dawson. Garrett was a genuinely nice young man who always had Ky's back and protected her like an older brother. I also loved Tabby, the new girl from Canada, with her irresistible laugh and insatiable curiosity. The humour, bond and friendship between Ky, Tabby and Garrett was delightful. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Tabby and Garrett become an item later down the track.I am still wondering how the relationship between Detective Dawson and Ky will develop. Throughout most of the book he felt too old for her, but there was certainly chemistry between the two of them. Then there was Ky's ex-boyfriend, A.J., who made it plainly obvious that he was still in love with Ky."Dare You to Lie" kept me guessing from the start and, while I had parts figured out, there were surprises, too. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Kylene Danners is not having a good year. Her FBI Agent father has been convicted of murder and is looking at twenty-five years to life. Kylene is certain that he has been framed and the seventeen-year-old is determined to find out the truth of the story.Forced to return to Jasperville, Ohio, to live with her grandfather, Kylene is dumped right back into the past where she was vilified for accusing six star football players, including her boyfriend AJ, of taking nude photos of her and posting them on the internet. She lost her reputation at age fourteen and the six of them got off with no consequences. She is also determined to find out which of them took and posted the photos and why they all chose to cover for the villain.She isn't completely without support. She reconnects with her best friend Garrett and she makes a new friend in Canadian-import Tabby. She also has the support of her mother's best friend Meg who is a lawyer and her father's best friend FBI Agent Striker. She also has a number of enemies who are willing to do anything to make her life miserable and thwart her investigations. From her Physics teacher Mr. Callahan to one of the Six Donovan Shipman who is drugged up on steroids to a rookie FBI Agent Dawson who is sure her father is guilty, Kylene has many obstacles to overcome in her investigation.Kylene is a great character. She is certainly resilient. She is bright and sarcastic and she has a finely honed sense of justice. She manages to uncover a deep well of secrets as she tries to clear her name and her reputation. The story is filled with danger and it is fast-paced. It is emotionally intense too. While the story ends with part of the mystery solved, the bigger conspiracy is not. Luckily, the second book - Don't Say a Word - will be released in September.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Sometimes I feel YA books can be hard to read, especially is the author forgets the age of the characters they’re writing. Fortunately that was not the case in this book, apparently the first in a series. There were moments when it could have gone too far with the main character doing things that are just too adult but it was reeled in quickly. I look forward to the next one in this series.
