 *Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review*

Ever since Simon died in detention, life hasn't been easy for the Bayview Crew. First the Bayview Four had to prove they weren't killers. Then a new generation had to outwit a vengeful copycat. Now, it's beginning again. 

At first the mysterious billboard seems like a bad joke: Time for a new game, Bayview. But when a member of the crew disappears, it's clear this 'game' just got serious - and no one understands the rules. 

Everyone's a target. And now that someone unexpected has returned to Bayview, things are starting to get deadly. 

Simon was right about secrets - they all come out in the end. 

The thing is, Simon was right about secrets-they all come out, eventually. And Bayview has a lot it's still hiding.

Mysterious, Thrilling. 

I shouldn’t be surprised by now, considering that I have read most of Karen M.McManus since discovering her a few years ago. One Of Us Is Lying was the first of her books that I have read, and I loved reading about the Bayview Crew. When I came across One Of Us Is Back on Netgalley, I couldn’t help but request an early copy of the book. I was happy when I got approved and received an electronic ARC of the book, I couldn’t wait to get started and came back to Bayview. Like the other books in the series in the book, I couldn’t help but fall in love with this book, although the first book will always remain my favorite out of the three. I loved that One Of Us Is Back included the characters from the first and the second book, how they came together. 

I enjoyed that this book focused mainly on Phoebe, Addy and Nate, with other characters featured. Out of three of them, Phoebe was my favorite one, a more interesting POV to read from, in my opinion anyways. I did feel that this book started slower than the others had, and it took a few chapters to get into the story. However, once the book picked up, I couldn't put the book down, I wanted to see what would happen next, and how it would end. There was so much happening, just when you thought it was a good stopping point, the most unexpected twist had you reading late into the night. 

Now let’s talk about the cover. I love the covers of her books, it has a very mysterious look. Even if you never read any of Karen’s books, just the cover will have you picking up a copy. I’m so glad that I got a chance to read an early edition of this book, and I would highly recommend this book to any mystery/ thriller fans. Be prepared for a thrilling ride!
