Book Review #70: One Of Us Is Next by Karen M. McManus

Hey Guys x I read and reviewed the prequel to this book sometime last year, and you can read my review here ! Bayview High is still reeling over the events surrounding the death of Simon Kelleher a year ago. But now, someone is stepping up to take Simon's place. Someone who uses a game of Truth or Dare to destroy the school from the inside out. But when personal secrets are revealed, and a death occurs, will the students of Bayview be able to discover who started the game before it's too late? Despite the fact that I was so annoyed with the ending of the first book that I had to write a spoiler-filled rant/review on it, I enjoyed the first book more than this one. Which isn't to say that this book isn't enjoyable, I just didn't like it as much. However, the one thing that I loved about it was the three main characters. This story doesn't focus on the same four characters as the first one, but the first four are linked well enough that you do...

Book Review #66: One Of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus

Hey Guys x This is a book that you might have heard of, because it's quite popular. However, I hadn't heard anything about it until I actually bought it. And the sole reason that I bought it was because it sounded so good. 5 kids from 5 different walks of life end up in detention together. However, when one of those kids dies, the other four are the prime suspects. Are they in it together? Did they plan to kill him because of his gossip site? Are any of them actually guilty? While reading this book, I thought I knew exactly how my review was going to go. Because I started off completely LOVING this book. For a start, all of the main four characters are amazing. Addy, Cooper, Bronwyn and Nate are so different, but the slight connections between them made the book so interesting because, not only do you get to see them through each other's eyes, but then you get to go into their own heads to find out exactly who they are and what they're going through. The w...

One Of Us Is Lying - Spoiler Review!

Hey Guys x If you haven't read my original review of this book, read it HERE , before you read this one. Also, if you haven't read this book (and also managed to miss the title), this review will be full of SPOILERS , so avoid this post if you don't want to know what happens. Now that that's out of the way, let's get on with the review. I won't really be talking about the things that I liked in this review, it's purely for me to vent/rant about the things that I didn't like, which I couldn't do without spoiling the main plot points. Now, in a book called One Of Us Is Lying about a murder taking place, you'd expect one of the people to be lying about the murder. So the fact that none of the four did it, or are even involved other than passively, was so freaking disappointing to me! How can you set up a whole murder mystery, draw us in with the four suspects, and then make the big twist that the boy who was killed actually committed...
