Pay close attention and you might solve this.

One of Us Is LyingFive students walk into detention, and only four walk out. According to investigators, the last student's death wasn't an accident. He was planning to post juicy reveals about all four of his classmates the next day, which makes them each suspects. Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who's still on the loose?

One of Us Is NextA ton of copycat gossip apps have popped up since Simon died, and in the year since then, 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. And if you're smart, you'll always take the dare.

One of Us Is BackIts been almost two years since Simon died in detention, and the aftermath has been hard to shake. But when someone from the Bayview Four's past resurfaces, history begins to repeat itselfand the consequences are deadly.

Någon har startat en ny lek på Bayview High. En anonym avsändare skickar utmaningar till eleverna – vägrar du spela, avslöjas din största hemlighet. Och ingen vet vem som står näst på tur.

Snart sprider sig paniken. Vänskaper knakar, lögner exploderar, och ryktena om vem som kan ligga bakom växer i samma takt som skräcken. För i Bayview är ingen hemlighet trygg, och sanningen är alltid farligare än den verkar.

"En av oss står på tur" är en psykologisk thriller fylld av svek, digital utpressning och brutna lojaliteter – perfekt för dig som älskar boktok-drama, mörka hemligheter och virala spel som går för långt.

Fem elever. En död. Fyra misstänkta.

När skolans skvallerkung faller ihop i klassrummet är det bara början. Alla som var där hade något att förlora – och Simon visste allt.

Alla har en hemlighet. Och någon är redo att döda för att bevara sin.

"En av oss ljuger" är en thriller full av mörka hemligheter, svek och plot twists. För dig som älskar dark academia, true crime-vibbar och berättelser där ingen går säker.
