One of Us is Next, the sequel to One of Us Lies, takes us back to Bayview High School. After Simon's death, a series of gossip apps appear, but this time it's not an app but a game.
The students receive a group message about a game of "Truth or Dare." Whoever chooses "truth" risks having their deepest secret revealed, and whoever chooses "challenge" will receive a task. Phoebe is first. If she decides not to play, a secret will be revealed. And hers is a dark one. Then Maeve is next – but she knows what to do and decides to act wisely. And when it's Knox's turn, the situation is already dangerous. The challenges become deadly.
While spicy secrets are revealed, the students enjoy the game and the ominous warning: always choose a challenge, until a new victim appears in Bayview. Simon is dead, but someone is determined to pick up where he left off.
New year, new secrets, new rules. Who will be next?
