One of Us Is Next
Bayview High thought the worst was behind it. Then an anonymous number starts texting students a new challenge: Truth or Dare, always take the dare. At first it feels like a prank. But as the dares grow more invasive and the truths more damaging, it becomes clear someone is using the game to settle old scores.
Told through the eyes of three new narrators — Maeve Rojas, still shadowed by her own history with the school; Knox Myers, the overlooked youngest in his family; and Phoebe Lawton, unapologetically herself and newly caught in the game's crosshairs — the novel widens the world introduced in One of Us Is Lying while building its own mystery about who is really behind the messages, and why.
A fast-moving YA thriller about the long half-life of a small town's secrets, and how easily a game can turn into something much more dangerous.
