In the sequel to One of Us is Lying, we get a new-ish cast of characters, Maeve is the only one we saw in the last book but this time we get her POV. We also get POVs from two more characters, Knox and Phoebe. Interesting concept of a dangerous game of Truth or Dare! I also kind of liked getting new characters, while also still getting peeks at characters from book 1.

It’s a little slower than book 1, with most of the drama being in the first and last thirds; the pacing is slightly off as the middle drags a bit. Compared to book 1 which had a slow build up throughout.

The twists were unexpected and I didn’t see them coming-and no cop out this time! The execution worked so well, and was so much better than OoUiL. I did guess the person involved but I didn’t correctly guess the motivation or the other twists!

For once, the sequel was better than the first 😍 The ending was also well done with a bit of suspense and leaving it perfectly open for book 3, which now I actually can’t wait to read!

Omg, I just looved this book 😍😍😍
I also liked "one of us is lying" a lot and I was scared that the 2nd part would be worse, but it absolutely wasn't. 
A really big part of the story was the personal life of the narrators and in the first half the crime-aspect was more in the background. I didn't mind that,  though that was something that I didn't expect. And I also have to say that that part was very gripping and absolutely not boring.
Then more or less at 50% of the book the murder happens and from that part on, the crime-aspect was more the main part of the story. Then the book got so tense 😨😨😨
And then the plot-twists were such a surprise 😱 And the last pages... 😨😨😨 I would have never expected that 😱
Now comes a little spoiler for the romance in the book
I also really liked, that there were 2 romance stories,  but those could have been a little  more present.

That there are now new narrators was at the beginning a little weird (mainly because of Knox and Phoebe, because I didn't know them πŸ˜…), but when I got to know them, I really really loved them 😍 I also loved, that the old narrators were still side-characters and that you learn, how Bronwyn and Nate's story continued 😍😍😍
I was also so happy for Addy, that she got to know someone ☺πŸ₯°
. 
I can't wait to read the 3rd book and I have to pre-order it right now

This book was soooooo good, this book has such good foreshadowing which is so easily over-looked. The ending has me stunned and I can’t even begin to process what just happened!
