One of Us Is Next: The Sequel to One of Us Is Lying

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • There's a new mystery to solve at Bayview High, and there's a whole new set of rules. The highly anticipated sequel to One of Us Is Lying!

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.

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!

Picking up not long after One Of Us Is Lying, we follow a game of truth or dare that exposes new secrets and eventually turns deadly.

At one point I said to myself, “I really like this book, but I know where this is going….I know who the troublemaker is. A star is going to be deducted because I already know.”

But I didn’t know…..so 5 stars.

This book is a sequel to One of us is lying.
Honestly, I didn't like the sequel. I liked the first book though, cause that was my first mystery book I read. But now when I have read a couple of great mystery books, I think I over rated that book as well.

I didn't find it engaging and it didn't kept me hooked. I don't have much to say about it. The plot was just not good enough. Although the writing was good that is the reason I even gave it 2 stars.

If you're a noob in the genre, this book is great for you.
