One of Us Is Next by Karen M. McManus
4.0
I'm kinda pissed that they buried the truth in the end about Owen's involvement. But I guess I understand. Though how hypocritical is it for them to cover up after Owen when they were mad at Brandon's dad for doing the same thing for his son? Owen is twelve, Brandon was thirteen. I don't like Brandon because he's a dick and almost assaulted Phoebe. But this gives Owen the same life lesson that Brandon got. That actions don't have consequences. Or maybe he won't become like Brandon. Maybe Owen truly felt remorse in the end.
This book also used the same 'I know you cheated and I'll pretend nothing happened and get revenge on you' plot device from book one. But the book wasn't too slow paced, like the other books from the author and I wasn't bored. I know I shouldn't have but the truth or dare was fun. (even though it got shitty real quick for the characters) I'm glad I finally read it after sitting on it for a year after reading book one.
