One of Us is Next by Karen M. McManus book review

*As per usual, since this is a sequel I won’t be providing a synopsis*

Karen M. McManus has just been cemented as a favorite author for me. This was another 4.5 stars for me. I literally did not see that ending coming whatsoever. I thought I was right, and I was for a little bit, but that curveball man. Just goes to show, never think something is a throwaway line or section.

I don’t know how, but her characters can physically make me feel for them. I legit teared up at one point. In this book, we only follow three: Maeve, the younger sister of Bronwyn from the first story; Knox, who became my favorite quickly lol I always have to have a favorite and it always seems to be the guys; and Phobe, who reminded me a little of Addy from book one but so different as well.

On the other hand, there were a couple of side characters that me just want to fight them. Three in particular that play a part in something that happens in part two. Plus I just love the big reveals because I would never have been able to figure all that out. I am also so focused on the who and the how flies right by me lol at one point I had a whole theory of who and how, only to be COMPLETELY wrong.

I am definitely buying all three of her books and will get her newest one this winter (if it still comes out around that time.) It would be nice to see if I still vibe with her in a different world then this series. My first new author favorite of the year!!
