It was good. I prefer the first book but I still enjoyed this one. I ended up liking the characters a lot. However I feel like this book was too dramatic at times. Also it really bothered me that none of the teens told an adult about the game just because their phones might be taken away. Seriously?

i enjoyed this book so much more than the first i’ll be honest. even tho i was able to figure out some stuff the satisfaction of knowing i was partially right paid off. i also really like the ending.

maeve and luis are my otp. i also briefly thought that owen was smarter than what he was letting on tooo so that was so interesting to see

I loved the first book, and this one was no different. As with Book One, McManus gives just enough information through the different POVs for the reader to figure out the culprit themselves- and she does so in a way that only makes the big reveal more exciting rather than predictable. There's always an extra twist or another detail that comes to light in the climax and resolution, too. The way the plot moved from a simple game of Truth or Dare to an actually serious and tense situation was really good. I liked the characters in this one as well (though I did take points off because I'm not a fan of romance, that's just personal preference) and how they each developed, especially Maeve. I'm still trying to figure out who's on the cover, though...
