A suspenseful young adult mystery thriller by Karen M. McManus and the sequel to One of Us Is Lying. Set a year after the events of the first novel, Bayview High is still haunted by its infamous murder case—until a dangerous new game begins.

This time, the story follows three new students: Maeve Rojas, Bronwyn's brilliant younger sister; Knox Myers, an easygoing student who prefers to stay out of drama; and Phoebe Lawton, a popular girl whose seemingly perfect life hides painful secrets.

An anonymous player launches a sinister game of Truth or Dare through a texting app. At first, the dares seem harmless, but they quickly escalate into risky and dangerous challenges. Refusing to play comes with serious consequences, and soon the game is linked to a shocking death. As fear spreads across Bayview High, Maeve, Knox, and Phoebe must uncover the identity of the mastermind before more lives are destroyed.

Packed with clever twists, multiple perspectives, and emotional depth, One of Us Is Next explores themes of cyberbullying, peer pressure, trust, grief, and the lasting impact of secrets.
