This was my favrouite book in the series, the plot twist was fantastic!

[Mariam Sarhan · Rating 4 out of 5]

SO my friend found it for me thank god, and I literally went through it in like, 45 minutes bc I just wanted to know the ending. The thing is, after you read enough mystery books, you learn to trust no one. So basically my mentality was that the darer could be anyone lol, but I didn't actually think it would be this person, bc they just seemed too...innocent ig. Oh well, it was a solid ending, and the loose ends were tied up as well, so yay!

'Kiss and Tell' is the exhilarating final book in the Truth or Dare Trilogy. It continues to follow our main characters as the person behind the twisted game of Truth or Dare continues to up the stakes. Now that another body has been found in the small town of Echo Bay, the girls must figure out who is behind everything - before it's too late and one of them becomes the next target. Things are spiraling out of control faster than before, with the stakes incredibly higher and nowhere else to turn. When the clues the girls uncover begin leading them back to the people they love and trust the most - who or what - should they believe?

I've been hooked on this series since I read the first book's description. I absolutely love thrillers and mysteries, and this series sounded like it was going to be a perfect fit for me. Sometimes the series gets burned out early on and the rest of the books aren't nearly as good as the first. I'm so glad to say that this most definitely was not the case with this trilogy. In fact - it was the complete opposite. From the beginning of the first book, the story of this messed up game has reeled me in further and further until I thought my head might explode if I didn't find out who was behind everything and why it all happened. The novel is both phenomenal and original - with incredibly realistic characters and a setting that sucks you in right from the opening pages. All of the characters are very well written with distinct personalities and traits - strengths and weaknesses - fears and hopes. I loved getting to know each one of them on an almost personal basis, which I think makes the books all the harder to read - because you get to know these teens and relate to them - and then all the bad things start to happen. The plot itself was compelling and addictive - as I mentioned earlier, I couldn't get enough of them and I found myself buried deep inside the story alongside the characters. The twists and turns that occur throughout the book really messed with my head. If you read my reviews on other thriller/mysteries, you know that I like to attempt to figure out who is behind it all and what's really happening before the characters do. I simply couldn't do it with this book - or the series in general. I would get a good theory going on who might be doing all these terrible things and why - only to be completely blindsided by a huge twist in the story, which kicked me back to square one each time. It was quite frustrating that I couldn't figure things out on my own, but I also consider it an indicator of an author that possesses incredible talent in their craft. I don't do spoilers in my reviews, so the only thing I'm going to say is that I never saw any of it coming. I might have guessed a couple of things that happened, but overall I was stunned and awestruck. Literally - with my mouth hanging wide open and saying "Whhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttt?" I highly recommend this book - and the series - to fans of the genre as well as anyone who loves to read a complex novel full of suspense and those looking for one roller coaster ride of a thriller.

Disclosure: I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Jacqueline Green starts her book with fast paced action scenes and doesn't quit.

In this third installment of the Truth or Dare series, the girls -- Tenley and Sydney -- are still haunted by their past. It now feels like a huge mistake that, to increase their popularity status, the girls decided to play a pranks. The darer has incriminating video and will stop at nothing until these girls are dead.

Perhaps due to the Echo Bay/small town background, the book reminded a lot of I Know What you did Last Summer. People were dead and the girls had learned their lesson, and still the darer kept going at them like some crazy psychopath (which is not far from the truth). Although, I did not find the characters endearing in any way, there is no denying that the action was there, with several possible suspects.

This was the best book in the series. It had a steady, fast pace and lots of plot twists that had me guessing “who” until the very end.

[Maggie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was so so good! I just wasn't expecting the plot twist!

[Robyn Slade · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5⭐️‘s. The only reason this book lost 0.5 was because I found the killer of the series to be easily predictable from the beginning. However I loved the trilogy and would recommend it to anyone!!💗

[Patrick Salazar · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a hell of roller coaster ride to this epic finale book of the trilogy it was honestly emotionally exhausting. I felt so bad the girls being tortured by the "Darer" the girls did not catch a break this time around.It was just non-stop secrets, lies,action and of course dares. I love how Jacqueline wrote this book to keep you guessing all the way till the end and I am very satisfied with the conclusion and ending of the book but my god Jacqueline was giving me a heart attack throughout this whole book.

[Shelleen Toland · Rating 4 out of 5]

Since their game of Truth or Dare started, Tenley, Sydney and Emmerson have lost almost everything. Secrets, romantic relationships, and spots on the high social ladder at school. The darer has left another body behind in their beach town. Lots of betrayals and shocks. The Darer was someone that I had thought maybe it was from the beginning. If you like Pretty Little Liars then I recommend this series.

[El · Rating 5 out of 5]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH Such a good Read, You think you know who the darer is then that person turns out to be the killer or the kidnapper, but FINALLY They found the darer! OH MY GOSH The real darer will blow your mind, like seriously who saw that coming, obviously not me!!!!!!!! LOVE the book!

[Gigi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book. I would have given it 5 stars, but I had it mostly figured out from the beginning which made it too obvious and predictable. Other than that, it was a great read!

[Catastrophe Queen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Mwahahahaha!!!
I can't believe I guessed the darer correctly. I actually looked up my review for the first book in this series, and I had mentioned my suspicion early on. Damn I love mysteries.

[Cornelia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ever wondered what the collision of Pretty Little Liars and Riverdale would look like? That's the best way I can describe the Truth or Dare series. I highly recommend it for everyone looking for light thriller to read overnight!

The mysterious darer takes even more risk at exposing his or hers identitity in Kiss and Tell after casting a lasting shadow of suspicion on innocent students from Echo Bay. Jacqueline Green is a very gifted writer who manages to fool the reader in most unexpected ways. Nothing is clear in Truth or Dare series, and the person behind countless tragedies remains in the shadows. The darer is everywhere yet he's nowhere to be found...

I read this book by accident after abandoning the Truth or Dare series for over two years but I must say I am definetly not dissapointed. Jacqueline Green's brilliance shines in new and unexpected ways in this wonderful continuation of Truth and Dare and Secrets and Lies.

[Brandon Kitchen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Best book in this trilogy. Not only was it the best written, but it had the best storylines as well. We get to see Emerson further her relationship with Josh, Tenley juggle her feelings for Tim, while Sydney prepares for life after Echo Bay. The darer is still targeting the three of them harder than ever, which kept me on the edge of my seat to figure out who was doing this and why. When everything is revealed, it was definitely a good ending. Just when you think you have everything that you wanted to know, Jacqueline managed to throw a few more curve balls our ways. I really did love this book and saying goodbye to the three characters I've gotten to know was bittersweet. Very good trilogy!

[✨Jinglemarco✨ · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a nice conclusion to a trilogy which is unfortunately characterized by unlikable characters and sloppy writing. While the revelation is satisfying enough, even though really underwhelming because the girls discovered everything in a too easy way and I have to admit I foresaw the culprit at the beginning of the book (and maybe in the previous books, too). So, the best installment in the series is the second one, with a really good mystery plot (even though the bad prose and characters, that is).

[Gina Clabo · Rating 3 out of 5]

The plot twist in these books were good I do have to say that but for it to drag on forever was not fun. I seriously just read the beginning and the end of this book and long and behold I had the killer figured out before I even read the end. I do have to say that I was glad to see Sydney get the Geek boy and her and Ten and Ell became good friends at the end that I really did like. The killer he was just crazy and when the girls turned the tables on him that deserved 3 stars.. Recommend to high schoolers and revenge getters.. Gina Clabo

[Linette Quirch-Sanchez · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this series so much. I read the first book a year ago, and then the last two in the past week. The characters were dynamic, the story had twists and turns without feeling made up as it went. It really had me rooting for these girls and their survival. The mystery was so intriguing all the way through. The ending of each book is also very satisfying, the most satisfying being the last. I look forward to more from this author, these characters will stick with me for a while.

[Raz · Rating 5 out of 5]

A really good conclusion to the trilogy. The opening was enticing, and the suspense kept up from there. The characters remained strong and it was easy to fall back in with the plotline. The identity of the darer was well-kept until the very end (although the multiple identity issue was a bit of a disappointment). Still, an enjoyable read overall and a great trilogy.

[Kate Bukowski · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not going to lie, at the start, this book was just depressing. It stopped becoming interesting and just got sad. However, the more I read, the more I got into it. The plot twists are wild and (not to toot my own horn or anything, but I guessed who the darer was half way through the book) But I think it tied up the series quite nicely.

[Wendie Barney Boucher · Rating 5 out of 5]

This final book in the series did not disappoint. I had my suspicions from the beginning of the series but every time I thought I was right with regards to the darer something happened that showed me I was wrong. The twists and turns in the final novel were well done and I really enjoyed this book.

[Rye · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! This book was incredible. I read the first two on my Kindle, and when the third wasn’t available in the library, I put this book on pretty much every Christmas wish list of mine. All I can say is Christmas was not disappointing . I absolutely love this book and I recommend the series.

[Denitsa Shahova]

Can someone please just tell me who the darer is and who Caitlin’s kidnapper is? I read the first book but I don’t really like it that much but I still want to know and I can’t find it anywhere online.

[Tana · Rating 2 out of 5]

Ngl, i skimmed thru most of this book just to see how it all ended because I had a feeling I knew who it was all the way back in book 1 and i wanted to see if i was right. I was right, just not for the right reasons, but either way it was who I thought and now I lowkey regret moving past book 1

[♥Crystal · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this series. An epic conclusion to a great series.

The mystery series can never end well....no matter who writes them, they always have the ending unsatisfactory

Superb! Roller-coaster-like thriller, and a constant page-turner! Jacqueline Green did it again.

I knew it would be dark, but it was still darker than I anticipated. I really enjoyed reading it, but I need to take a break for something lighter.
