Publisher's summary

The highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times best-selling thriller everyone is talking about, One of Us Is Lying! There's a new mystery to solve at Bayview High, and there's a whole new set of rules.

Come on, Bayview, you know you've missed this.

A ton of copycat gossip apps have popped up since Simon died, but in the year since the Bayview four were cleared of his shocking death, no one's been able to fill the gossip void quite like he could. The problem is no one has the facts.

Until now.

This time it's not an app, though - it's a game.

Truth or Dare.

Phoebe's the first target. If you choose not to play, it's a truth. And hers is dark.

Then comes Maeve, and she should know better - always choose the dare.

But by the time Knox is about to be tagged, things have gotten dangerous. The dares have become deadly, and if Maeve learned anything from Bronwyn last year, it's that they can't count on the police for help. Or protection.

Simon's gone, but someone's determined to keep his legacy at Bayview High alive. And this time, there's a whole new set of rules.

And don't miss Two Can Keep a Secret, Karen's third "must-read YA thriller" (Bustle)!

Critic reviews

"Full of exciting and unexpected twists and racing toward a shocking conclusion, McManus’s tale will not disappoint fans, and those unfamiliar with her previous work will inhale this complicated story of friendship and revenge." (Publishers Weekly starred review)

"A thrilling read...[that] has all the twists and turns that readers love." (Booklist)

"Twisty plotting, breakneck pacing and intriguing characterisation add up to an exciting, single-sitting thrillerish treat." (The Guardian)

AMAZING from beginning to end

Loved this book because I listened to One of Us is Lying couples of days before knowing they were coming out with a sequel. Loved the book so much listened to it twice, first time was to know what happened and second time for details I missed and pure enjoyment. Really liked how the author with this book brought a whole new concept and main characters, but also incorporated the main characters from the previous books the"Bayview 4". So if anyone wanted to know what happened with their favorite Bayview 4 this book give us that information. I would definitely recommend people to listen to One of Us is Lying before listening to One of Us is Next, so you can fully understand the books contrast..Like the first book the plot twists don't disappoint...Hopefully if she does another sequel it won't be a 3 years wait.

*Spolier Alert* What a bazzare ending...

it's a good book. The ending is a little bazzare, but I saw it coming. ;)

Best Sequel In Ages!

In this sequel to "One of Us Is Lying", McManus is able to create an amazing story with major twists! Every main character is so likeable and sensfuly complex.
This book had me crying at some points and actually gasping at some points.
I'd say the age range would be between 15 and up. There are some mature themes in the book that might not suit well with a younger crowd. However, teens and young adults who are very into mystery thrillers and love stories (but not overly done) would absolutely love this sequel!

Couldn’t Stop Listening

The different narrators for this story are fantastic voice actors. They kept the story interesting, and the mystery aspect of the story made it so that I couldn’t stop binge listening! One of the best audio books I’ve ever listened to.

Amazing book

I loved the first book and plan on continuing to read them best book ever

good read

I would recommend this book because it wasn't boring and was well written an the story was entertaining enough to keep me reading but I'm not sure what category this book is. didn't feel or read much like a mystery. One of Us is Lying was better and I'd still say that one was just all right too. I didn't feel like this was a waste of my time but it didn't have me on the edge of my seat or anything and didn't have me reeling. the literal last paragraph was, for me, the most interesting part of the whole book...

Quick and exciting mystery

I’m a fan of McManus and this is the 3rd book I’ve read. All of her books have a quick pace to them. They are smart and engaging. I like the characters and the dynamic between them. A real good read!
