Meanwhile, the weekend of Eli and Ashton's wedding arrives (characters that met during Book #1). Maeve has also been tracking a forum on Reddit where someone involved in this game seems to be posting, and that person mentions Phoebe. Separately, Knox thinks his parents know something about Brandon's death, so Maeve steals some files off his mother's computer. Phoeve, Maeve, Louis (Maeve's love interest) and Knox go to scope out the stranger ("Intense Guy") and take down his license plate info. Phoebe also gets a message from a stranger asking to meet. Nate (from Book #1) thinks it wasn't an accident, and that the construction site was engineered to harm Brandon. They eventually determine that Brandon's death was an accident that occurred during his "Dare".
In Part II, Phoebe, Maeve and Knox try to figure out what happened. Knox was there, too, but he was injured and doesn't remember what happened. Things are quiet and then news breaks that Brandon, a kid who is a jock and kind of a jerk, has died from an accident at a construction site. Her secret, that she dumped her best friend Knox because he couldn't get it up, is revealed. Her secret, that she slept with her older sister Emma's (a senior) boyfriend is soon revealed. Phoebe (a junior) is selected as the first player. No reply defaults to "Truth" (and the advice Unknown gives is to "always take the Dare.") "Truth" means a secret about you is revealed to everyone.
Unknown will pick one person at a time for a round of "Truth or Dare". The students at Bayview High get a group text from an unknown number ("Unknown") about a new Game. In Part I, this book (Book #2) starts about eighteen months after the events of One Of Us Is Lying (Book #1). So feel free to just jump into Book #2 even if your memory is fuzzy.) That said, that this book, One of Us Is Next (Book #2), really does recaps anything you need to know from the previous book. (By the way, if you need to catch up on the first book, see here for a full summary of One of Us is Lying (Book #1).
