One of Us Is Next by Karen M. McManus


One of Us is Next is the sequel to One of Us is Lying. I want to report that it does NOT fall into the dreaded slump a lot of sequels tend to fall into. It is a whole new ballpark.

This time it’s a game of Truth of Dare. The minor characters of One of Us is Next play much larger roles. They are the target of a new game that is intent on ruining lives and relationships. Truth’s pit friends and family against one another Dares are a mixed bag of peanuts.

McManus pulls you back into the excitement of reading, One of Us is Lying, for the first time but amps it up with my twists. It’s easy to figure out who it is but it’s much more difficult to figure out how and why and once it’s revealed and the curveball hits you in the face, you’ll find that you loved this and want to hear more about the teens of Bayview. They are a chaotic, squirmy, sinister bunch.
