I was left in awe because this was indeed an ending I NEVER saw coming, but it fell off, and I wanted more. I wasn’t left disappointed by the mystery at all. They were tied together in a brilliant way, which helped the story. The driving force for me was the mention of the previous characters in this storyline. I didn’t feel as connected to these characters. It was kind of left out in the open, and this being the final book in the series of One of Us is Lying, I was left wanting more. The ending, too, didn’t wrap things up like I wished it did.

I enjoyed the characters in the first and wasn’t as impressed by Maeve, Knox, or Phoebe.

Was it as good as the first? I didn’t think so. Overall, the mystery of this book was as stumping as the first. One thing to remember, though, is no one is safe. With Nate, Addy, Bronwyn, and Cooper pulled into another mystery, can they figure out the murderer before it’s too late? It’s another web of a story each chapter tries to unveil through the characters. Was this game planned to kill to inflict revenge? Rumor has it the lastest victim got murdered. It’s the second death in a year sending the town into a downturn. Things take a turn for the worse when the game of truth or dare leads to the death of someone at Bayview. Next comes Maeve, who also ignores it, causing a secret of hers to get revealed that will either strengthen or break her friendship with Knox. It’s more of a dark secret that spirals her world out of control. First up is Phoebe, who ignores the message causing her to forfeit and truth to be revealed. It comes in the form of a text message to one single person at a time, giving that person the option of picking truth or dare. Things at Bayview take a turn when yet another copycat of the shutdown gossip app About That circulates. However, unlike Cooper, Brandon is cocky and arrogant, loving his spot in ruling the school. The quarterback of the football team and Bayview’s new Cooper. Currently, she’s hooking up with Brandon Weber. It seems everyone knows Phoebe because she likes to date a lot of guys. He doesn’t get encouragement from his father, which bothers him and keeps to himself at school, unlike Phoebe. Knox is the youngest sibling in his family and the only boy. Her one friend, Knox, is her in her grade, and if you read One of Us is Lying knows they dated briefly. She spent her younger years in the hospital battling leukemia. Maeve doesn’t have many friends outside her sister’s older friends: Addy, Nate, Cooper, and Luis. This story follows Bronwyn’s little sister Maeve along with her friends Knox and Phoebe. This novel picked up a few months after One of Us is Lying ended. One of Us is Lying and One of Us is Next is two books you NEED to add to your TBR!
