Thank you Scholastic Press for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

For fans of The Inheritance Games, The Liars Society series is perfect for middle-grade readers! When I received an ARC of Book Two in the Liar's Society series, I realized I'd already stocked Book One in my secondary library but hadn’t read it yet. Winning the ARC gave me the push I needed to dive in, and I’m glad I did—I actually enjoyed the sequel even more than the first book. While Book One focused heavily on background buildup, Book Two took off with a tighter plot and much more suspense. The story flowed well, and I think our middle schoolers will love it!

I’m definitely ready for Book Three (there will be a third book, right?). I’m fully invested now!

Summary: Weatherby and Jack are tapped to join Last Heir, the world’s most powerful secret society. But on the night of the first gambit, the game takes a terrifying turn, and they’re soon caught in a race against time to uncover the truth—about the game and themselves. But who do you trust when everyone around you is a liar?

After I read the first book The Liar's Society, I knew I couldn't wait to read the second book. When Alyson shared that it was available on NetGalley, I couldn't request it fast enough and it did not disappoint! This series reminds me of The Inheritance Games series but for middle grades. There are twists and turns, puzzles to decipher, deep family secrets, and even the threat of murder in an upper elementary friendly story. I cannot wait to buy this book for my school library and share with my students!

Gerber knocks it out of the park with this second installment....and spoiler alert: it ends on a cliffhanger! I love books with smart characters that are trying to be different than generations past. Thx to NetGalley for the ARC!

This is a must-get sequel in The Liar’s Society series. The way that the mystery and characters have developed from book 1 into book 2 was highly engaging. I loved it, and I know my students will too! I will absolutely be buying this for my library once it releases in 2025. Now to anxiously await what happens in book 3!

This was a beautifully done sequel in the Liars Society series, it had that element that I wanted from the first book and was enjoying the characters in this world. It continued the story perfectly and was enjoying the overall writing style. Alyson Gerber was able to capture that magic from the first book and improve on it with this one.
