'Truth or Dare follows on from Light in Shadow, a romance novel whose plot unfolds only a few weeks before the action in this one. For the reader unfamiliar with the back story revealed in the earlier book, the author sketches in the broad outlines of the whirlwind courtship and unlikely marriage of psychic interior designer Zoe Truax and her brand new husband Ethan, a private investigator. But before they settle into domestic bliss in this sequel, a figure from the past intrudes on their happiness, threatening not only Zoe but her best friend Arcadia, with whom she shared a harrowing adventure in the madhouse known as Candle Lake Manor. Attractive people in plush surroundings, good local colour and enough melodrama to keep the plot moving are bestseller Krentz's stock in trade, and as usual, she delivers the goods.' - Jane Adams, Amazon.com
