Season 2 impressed earlier in the year but the latest episodes finally landed on Netflix on Wednesday, November 16th 2022, encouraging audiences to ask questions about the season finale. Crystalhas stepped into Shannon’s old shoes. A young, innocent Texan girl, she simply has no idea what she’s up against … This book reminds me of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (or any Real Housewives show). A handful of rich women with their rich husbands and all their drama and problems… but the thriller version.

Jenny owns a salon that all of the women are serviced at. Just like a bartender or cab driver, she’s privy to plenty of tantalizing secrets. These crooks show up with nary a dufflebag to carry their wares and have to take a comforter to lug it all down the street. Following the success of his Spanish Netflix series Elite, Darío Madrona received several offers to work on American television series; one such offer was for One of Us Is Lying. Madrona thought the show would provide something "a little brighter" than traditional mystery stories and found the novel "super addictive"—he was also intrigued by the flawed and untruthful characters, and saw the project as a chance to explore more profound themes of friendship, love and want. After accepting the offer, Madrona met with the producers and studio and was hired as showrunner. [7] This was such an addicting read. The lead up and suspense was soo good, but after a little tease that kind of deflated me, that when I got to the end it didn’t really satisfying my needs to match the great lead up. A huge thank you to the author and publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!

Along with the female drama, there were some twists thrown in there that gave this book a bit of suspense. I also really enjoyed the ending. Was it unrealistic? Maybe. But, because of it I gave this book a higher rating. Rose’s writing is pitch perfect when it comes to both keeping readers gripped and making them want to tear Olivia’s (beautifully done) hair out.

It was fun having a different narrator for each perspective. It felt like I was really getting to know these characters and they are twisted. Everyone was hiding something. Everyone knew things they shouldn't. They were just all up in each others business. It was captivating. All in all, a bit of a mixed bag for me. Still, it was a light and super fast read. Perfect for the beach or any time you just want to chill and relax. I guess I just needed more of the thriller component throughout the book. There was too much cheating, and the intrigues started to feel a bit repetitive after a while. Until the very end, it had a bit too much unnecessary drama and too few dead bodies for my taste.Reflect on the themes explored in the book, such as betrayal, revenge, greed, or power. How were these themes portrayed and developed throughout the story? Did they add depth to the plot and the characters’ motivations? MY THOUGHTS: Every now and then I like to read a novel about bitchy women, but One of Us is Dead takes this to a whole new level, and after the initial enjoyment, I'm afraid my enthusiasm began to wane to the point where I was toying with the idea of quitting this read. But then . . . something very unexpected happened that again, briefly, piqued my interest enough to carry me through to the end. Thank god Nate had a POV. And the fact that the whole Bayview Crew was in this was awesome. I loved seeing characters from both books, it was great. Super rich husbands, women with way too much drama- and money. Lies, scandals, cheating and of course-drama. Let’s start with the pluses though, shall we? Starting more or less where One of Us Is Next left off, the character development was truly divine. After all, we got to watch these teens grow up, learning unbearably hard lessons along the way. Through a handful of POVs, the gaps from the first two books were filled in and one altogether deep, dark secret was laid bare. But it was those characters that truly had me from hello. Complex and mostly true-to-life, I connected with one and all.
