One of Us is Next by Holly Jackson
Hi I’m Reese and I like playing softball and volleyball, skiing, and hanging out with family and friends. My favorite genre of book is mystery and some subtle horror
One of Us is Next is the sequel to one of my favorite books One of Us Lying. This book is exhilarating and exciting and makes you want to keep reading. My favorite quality of the book is how entertaining it is.
This book is about when a new game is created at Bayview High School, truth or dare, but has fatal consequences. If you pick truth or don’t respond, then your biggest secret gets released to the whole school. If you pick dare, then you get a challenge. Phoebe Lawton is the first to get picked. She ignores it and her secret gets out about sleeping with her older sister’s boyfriend. That’s when people know this game is serious. Knox Myers, and Maeve Rojas are next. The three of them select truth. Brandon, Phoebe’s boyfriend, chooses dare and dies in an accident at a construction site. The game has gone too far.
I would give this book 4.5 stars out of 5 overall. If I were the author, I would make it less excessive so it didn’t scare people who read. I definitely liked the book, that was just one critique I had. I would recommend this book to people in 7th grade or higher who like murder mysteries.
