#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The highly anticipated sequel to One of Us Is Lying! There's a new mystery to solve at Bayview High, and there's a whole new set of rules.
Fans of the hit thriller that started it all can watch the secrets of the Bayview Four be revealed in the One of Us is Lying TV series now streaming on NBC's Peacock!
Come on, Bayview, you know you've missed this.
A ton of copycat gossip apps have popped up since Simon died, but in the year since 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's determined to keep his legacy at Bayview High alive. And the rules have changed.
“Few craft teen suspense like McManus.” --Entertainment Weekly
“A thriller from one of the best writers in the YA mystery genre, One of Us Is Next delivers more shocking surprises and twists you won’t see coming.” --PASTE

I really enjoyed this. I especially loved the relationships that developed ❤️. I’m a sucker for that stuff... even cried at one point haha.
It wasn’t as good as the first one... but I think that’s because I missed the characters from the first book!
I really did really like Maeve, Knox, & Phoebe... I thought that they were likable characters; I just think reading them one after another made me want more from the first book’s characters until I got to know these gems! And it was nice to see what the old crew was up to... those parts were the cherry on top

Another winner from McManus!I am a solid fan of her books, because she masterfully blends a compelling mystery with everyday teen life.
This sequel brings us back to Bayview, and though the Bayview four make multiple appearances throughout the story, the focus was on three new characters and a new killer, who was out for vengeance. Once again, secrets were revealed as Unknown led the teens of Bayview through a game of truth or dare. I loved the drama, the romance, and the surprises that were slowly revealed. I have grown to expect a nice little twist thrown in at the end, and I had a great time seeing if I was right or wrong. And, I was not surprised, when I was only half right. That's the beauty of McManus' books, and what keeps me coming back for more.
I have to say, she hit me in the feels a few times, but the best, most emotional moment for me, was a scene between Nate and Maeve. I believe a few tears escaped. It was really lovely and meaningful.
Overall: Another fantastic book from McManus!

First of all, major kudos to Karen and/or the publishing team for adding a short list of who everyone is at the beginning of the book. It did take me a few chapters to find my footing but the list really helped.
Once again, McManus wrote a thoroughly enjoyable and engaging read. It’s easy fall into step with the story and once you really get going in the story, you can’t walk away.
Thankfully the book doesn’t fall into the mistakes many sequels make. One Of Us Is Next acknowledges that One Of Us Is Lying exists. The story isn’t just a repeat of the previous book. We get an entirely new group of kids and and an even more dangerous game. The students are actively try to not make the same mistakes that were made months ago.
I love that our characters aren’t just sitting around waiting for someone to step in and do something. They decide to solve the mystery. The narrators (Knox, Phoebe, Maeve) are interesting but ultimately their voices started to sound the same.
Oh, that mystery was GOOD. The pacing picks up towards the end and I couldn’t stop reading. I could see the pieces falling into place. I was (mostly) correct with my prediction but McManus still managed get one twist on me.
All in all, super fun read.
