Exceeded my expectatations
Karen M. McManus brings us One Of Us Is Next, the sequel to her best-selling book, One Of Us Is Lying. The book picks up at Bayview high where everyone is still reeling from the death of school gossip boy, Simon Kelleher a year ago, when a copycat decides to open up a school-wide game of lethal truth or dare. Choosing truth reveals your darkest secrets but dare gets fatally dangerous quickly.
One Of Us Is Lying is easily one of my favourite books of all time, so I was over the moon when I found out there was going to be a sequel. I was nervous that One Of Us Is Next wouldn’t live up to my extremely high expectations, but it exceeded them. It’s always risky for an author to revisit old characters in a new story, but Karen M. McManus does it exceptionally well. I found myself completely hooked by the book and I had no idea who was behind the game of truth or dare. It was great to see new relationships form throughout the book and watch broken relationships heal. I will admit that it took me a while to get through the book, as I struggled to remember who many of the characters were and what role they played in the first book.
