One Of Us Is Next

"One Of Us Is Next"... Just as psychologically torturing as her (Karen M McManus's) first book "One of Us Is Lying." Maybe a slightly bit tamer (at least in terms of like the wide-spread terror and group think that the first), or maybe I'm just getting numb to it all.

["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."]

This whole new set of characters, even though Maeve was a pretty solid secondary character in the first installment. With a whole new set of secrets. And greatest fears. And romances. And well...murder.

I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT FOR HER NEXT BOOK: "The Cousins" coming out December 1st (already pre-ordered it).

Though for now, unfortunately, for my own sanity, I think I need to take a break and read a cute-sy, contemporary, rom com. The only potential for an accelerated heart-rate: kisses and fluff (no Truth or Dare bombs or near-death experiences or health scares).

Trigger Warnings (ones that don't out-right give away the climax/murderer): Bullying, Terror, Murder, Violence, Blackmail, Alcoholism, Mental Illnesses, Cheating, Suicide, Mentions of Large Scale Violence/Shootings, Group Think, Terrorism, Copy Cating, etc
