Synopsis:
Come on, Bayview you know you missed this.
A ton of copycat gossip apps have popped up since Simon died, but in the year the Bayview Four were cleared of his shocking death, no one’s been able to fill the gossip void quite like he could. The problem is no one has the facts.
Until now.
This time it’s not an app though- it’s a game.
Truth or Dare.
Phoebe’s the first target. If you choose not to play it’s a Truth. And hers is dark.
Then comes Maeve and she should know better- always choose the Dare.
But by the time Knox is about to be tagged, things have gotten dangerous. The dares have become deadly, and if Maeve learned anything from Bronwyn last year, it’s that they can’t count on the police for help. Or protection.
Simon’s gone but someone is determined to keep his legacy at Bayview High alive. And this time, there’s a whole new set of rules.
Review:
Usually I am skeptical over sequels. Both books and movies. But Karen M. McManus legitimately knows how to do it all! One Of Us Is Next is an amazing book! The characters are wonderful. What Karen M. McManus does is she makes you feel like you know the main characters almost a little too well. She makes us understand every single one of them. I feel that’s very important in a book since the main part of the book are the characters and what there like. The only negative aspect of this book is that personally the plot is more bland and simple then the last one, One Of Us Is Lying. The climax was not as exciting as the last book and it was also quite predictable. But this book is truly phenomenal. I was completely entranced by it the whole way through. All in all it is an amazing book that I would most definitely read again!
