This was a thrill ride for the books! (Hehe) I loved reconnecting to the characters and town that McManus built in One of Us Is Lying.

There were a lot of moving parts, and they all came together in the end - with the biggest shocker of the whole book!

Definitely read this if you enjoyed the first one!

I really enjoyed this! Not as much as the first, but it was still really good. I just really like the characters she writes and I love that we got to see the characters from the first in this. Also how the events of the first book effects this one. Now it didn’t get interesting plot wise for the first like 50%(I don’t really care because I like the characters and relationships). The last part of this book I did not see coming my jaw dropped.

Holy shit.

First of, One of Us Is Next > One of Us Is Lying.

This book is more relaxed, less tense and suspense than the first one. I really love that this book is not only surrounding the main victims but also other people to avoid any suspicious.

I love that the Bayview Four was also included in this book and omg, Chapter 8 was like "holy shit" and "😩" and Chapter 31 when Nate and Bronwyn made an appearance was totally 😩. And I love that they're out of the high school gossip which makes it a lot more amaze because just like Maeve once said “𝙄𝙩 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙢𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚'𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝘽𝙖𝙮𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬 𝙃𝙞𝙜𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙙𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮'𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨.”

Also this book is very different from all the mysterious and crime book I've read because in this book, there's two mysteries that the characters need to solve.

Also can't wait for the third book, the cliffhanger was leaving me on the very edge of the cliff. There is so much explanations that need to be explained because the cliffhanger literally doesn't make sense why he did it.

And I hope for the One of Us Is Lying TV adaptation will be similar to this. If not almost. Because I want to see the new characters on screen.

I loved this book!! I thought it was very interesting how it was part of the series but it had a completely different plot. The vibes were the same though. I also loved every single character and their development was awesome.

In the last few pages, I got very bothered because I thought the author was just going to end the book on the fact that Owen kept the conversation going...but it was pleasantly resolved.

I got both of these books from the library, but if they ever come out in paperback...I will need them for my own library:)
