Although, that made for wonderful storytelling, I was a little less gripped by her narrative in comparison to the other protagonists. She made mistakes, yet owned up to them and continued to be there for her new friends. However, Phoebe was a more difficult character to love. Their relationship was beautiful to read, loving their care for another and interactions. He was more timid than most, yet continued to push through his anxieties for the sake of his friend, which was wonderful. Knox was another fascinating character, being Maeve’s best friend. It was deeply inspiring to read, finding her determination fascinating and moved the story forward beautifully. Although, she had her struggles, her perseverance to discover who was leading the Truth or Dare game shined through the pages. Maeve, more famously known as Bronwyn’s younger sister, made for a brilliant protagonist, being the determined, intelligent type.
This worked brilliantly, continuing the story in a unique way where we have a copycat-killer-esque plot line.
Nate, Bronwyn, Addy and Cooper aren’t the main focus in the story, passing their tales down to younger students, Maeve, Knox and Phoebe. The main aspect of why ‘One of Us Is Next’ works so well is because there was a alteration with the characters. However, I couldn’t have been more wrong. I wasn’t sure the characters had enough energy for a sequel, having felt their story had been told.
So, I adored One of Us Is Lying, yet I was anxious about how well a sequel would go down considering the original went down so well. Once again, the teenagers of Bayview must work together to find the culprit, before it’s too late. Someone has started playing a lethal game of Truth or Dare, where choosing the truth may reveal your darkest secrets, but accepting the dare could be dangerous.
‘One of Us Is Next’ is the highly anticipated sequel to One of Us Is Lying, set one year after the events of the Bayview Four. Genre: Young Adult, Mystery, Contemporary, Thriller, Romance, Crime, Suspense, FictionĬontains: Sexual Content, Death, Violence, Strong Language, Injury, Alcohol, Hospitals, Anger, Crude Humour “I don’t understand why the world insists on stuffing kids into boxes we never asked for, and then gets mad when we won’t stay there.”
