#tbt to the 2017 young adult thriller "One of Us is Lying" by Karen M. McManus, a page-turning mystery that investigates what happens when five strangers walk into detention and only four walk out alive. Pay close attention and you might solve this. On Monday afternoon, five students at Bayview High walk into detention.
Bronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule.
Addy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess....
Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing.
Cooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher.
And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of Bayview High's notorious gossip app. Only, Simon never makes it out of that classroom. Before the end of detention, Simon's dead. And according to investigators, his death wasn't an accident. He'd planned to post juicy reveals about all four of his high-profile classmates, which makes all four of them suspects in his murder. Everyone has secrets, right? How far would you go to protect them?

With strong female leads and a diverse cast, "One of Us is Lying" makes you root for the kids and hope that none of them are the actual killer. But one of them must be, right? And now, I'm absolutely thrilled to announce the release of the sequel, "One of Us is Next" featuring Bronwyn's younger sister and her classmates, which promises to be just as wild a ride as the McManus' debut work.

A ton of copycat gossip apps have popped up since Simon died, but no one's been able to fill the gossip void quite like he could. The problem is no one has the facts. Until now.
This time it's not an app, though—it's a game.
Truth or Dare. Phoebe's the first target. If you choose not to play, it's a truth. And hers is dark.
Then comes Maeve and she should know better—always choose the dare.
But by the time Knox is about to be tagged, things have gotten dangerous. The dares have become deadly, and if Maeve learned anything from Bronwyn last year, it's that they can't count on the police for help. Or protection.
Simon's gone, but someone's keeping his legacy at Bayview High alive. And this time, there's a whole new set of rules. #hkig #bookazinehk #hkreads #oneofusisnext 展开
