Two Can Keep a Secret
The "must-read YA thriller" (Bustle) from #1 New York Times bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying about a small town with deadly secrets. "When it comes to YA suspense, Karen M. McManus is in a league of her own..." --Entertainment Weekly Echo Ridge is small-town America. Ellery's never been there, but she's heard all about it. Her aunt went missing there at age seventeen. And only five years ago, a homecoming queen put the town on the map when she was killed. Now Ellery has to move there to live with a grandmother she barely knows. The town is picture-perfect, but it's hiding secrets. And before school even begins for Ellery, someone has declared open season on homecoming, promising to make it as dangerous as it was five years ago. Then, almost as if to prove it, another girl goes missing. Ellery knows all about secrets. Her mother has them; her grandmother does too. And the longer she's in Echo Ridge, the clearer it becomes that everyone there is hiding something. The thing is, secrets are dangerous--and most people aren't good at keeping them. Which is why in Echo Ridge, it's safest to keep your secrets to yourself. 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!

3.5 stars.
The story stars a pair of twins: Ellery and Ezra. They were both sent to live with their grandmother at Echo Ridge. There, the twins find out the many secrets the small town holds. Little did they expect that they would be part of a new murder case. Family secrets begin to unfold as well, and so do both their lives.
I decided to pick up this book because I'm a big fan of One of Us is Lying. Although it's not bad, it didn't meet my expectations. The twists were undeniably good, but I just didn't feel as drawn to the story as I'd hoped. The basic concept of it just isn't that much of a wow factor. The romance portion is just right for a mystery book though â not too much, but enough to keep the character developments going.
McManus really wrote this story well, bringing with it the thrill that it needs to incite within her readers. I can't wait to read her next book!

Interesting plot for the most part, but the climax didnât really do it for me and the killer didnât feel like a surprise by that point.
прочитала книгу полтора месяца назад и уже нихрена про нее не помню
и по-моему, этот факт характеризует впечатление лучше тысячи слов
