One of Us is Next by Karen McManus

Review by Mrs. Lehman

Fans of One of Us is Lying have been waiting for this sequel for what seems like forever, and McManus doesn't disappoint! Written in a similar format, the sequel picks up a few months after Simon's death. McManus continues the story of the Bayview Four, by introducing characters who were connected to the originals, but soon create a new and twisted plot. Points of view switch again by chapter, as Bayview High begins a dangerous digital game of truth or dare. Like before, relationships slowly unfold and revenge simmers up as the underlying plot. McManus does a masterful job developing the characters, as readers try to piece together the clues to figure out who is behind the deadly social media game. The twists and turns of the plot and the follow up ending, leave readers hanging on to every last word of this Bayview sequel. 

This book is a enjoyable, quick read that doesn't require the reader to think too deeply. It was a great way to escape reality for a few hours. It left me hoping for a third...

I would give this book 5 stars. A must read for Bayview fans!
