"Come on, Bayview, you know you've missed this."

There's a new mystery to solve at Bayview High, and there's a whole new set of rules.A ton of copycat gossip apps have popped up since Simon died, but in the year since the Bayview four were cleared of his shocking death, 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 determined to keep his legacy at Bayview High alive. And this time, there's a whole new set of rules.

I really liked the first one in the series, so I couldn't wait to dive into the new one. It was so tense and the ending was just mind blowing! 

Just like the first one, this one was really tense and it makes you want to find all the answers to the mistery. I had a lot of conspiracy theories while reading this one, and it turns out I was still wrong about them all. Who would be so cruell to torment the students of Bayview High all over again. Who's frienship will survive and who's will end? The gossip-app is tormenting the students again, but not only emotionally. The Game made a dangerous turn, this one takes lives. Who will survive this, and who will die? 

It is as good as the first one and the sequal is a nice addition to it. We read the story through different points of views. We follow Phoebe, Maeve and Knox this time. There are new characters to the storys as well as the old ones from the previous book. I love the balance between the new and the old characters. I think it's a nice addition to the story to introduce some new characters as well as keeping the old ones. 

I thought multiple times that I knew who the new villain on town was. But I couldn't be more wrong everytime. I was more than surprised to see who the villain was and who was behind all of this. It's a quest full of questions that need to be solved in time. 

I really recommend it if you loved the first one! It's nicely written and the characters are amazing!
