Que vivan los libros juveniles y de misterio 🥳
Este libro vino a salvar mi diciembre luego de pasar ✨meses sin poder terminar de leer nada.✨

Esta es la segunda parte de “Alguien está mintiendo” pero tenemos protagonistas diferentes. Poco más de un año después de los acontecimientos del primer libro, ocurren estos hechos donde una persona misteriosa empieza a acechar a estudiantes de Bayview con un “juego” de verdad o atrevimiento. Los que son seleccionados tienen 24h para elegir si prefieren un desafío o que se revele una verdad sobre ellos.

Siento que la autora crea muy bien a los personajes, les da profundidad y les hace interesantes. Para mí, esta historia fue más allá del juego, yo quería saber qué onda con los demás detalles y que la autora puediera crear eso me parece super genial.

Cuando se va descubriendo el misterio de quién está detrás de todo, medio me decepcioné porque esperaba más PERO no contaba con ese capítulo final y que la autora dejara a merced de mis pensamientos cómo se resuelve todo. Solo por este hecho, el libro subió en mi escala de favoritos del año. 📈

A great follow up to One of Us is Lying! I was just as invested this time around. McManus has the multi-POV style down to a science. Great pacing, great POV switching, great trickling of info and wonderful payoff come reveal time!

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!
