Hey guys! Adventure Van here with a blog about One of Us is Next, the sequel to One of Us is Lying written by Karen McManus. It is, as is the previous book, a murder mystery centering around the same cast, this time focusing on a mysterious game of Truth or Dare that turns deadly. I found it to be somewhat less compelling then the previous book, characters acted strangely and some situations could have been entirely avoided with just some forethought. I always have a problem with stories that need to dumb down their characters to advance the plot, so that is a personal gripe. Beyond that, though, the actual writing was on par with the original, with good scene descriptions and well paced (if somewhat predictable) twists. I wouldn't recommend it if you only somewhat enjoyed the previous book in the series, but if you really enjoyed One of Us is Lying then it is a good sequel that will still keep you hooked.
Adventure Van, daring out.
