“How often in the world is silence what allows horrible people to get away with their crimes?” 
 
Society of Lies is one of those perfectly layered mysteries—everything presented to the reader helps to add to the overall air of mystery surrounding what happened to Naomi and just what Maya was involved in all those years ago. It felt perfectly paced, and everything came together for one (or maybe two) big reveal in the end. There were a few over-the-top/unrealistic moments, but overall, it was a hit. 
 
It’s not too often that I find myself attached to a character (especially one we know is dead), but there was something I loved about Naomi’s character. I can’t tell you how many times I hoped she wasn’t dead. The chapters counting down to her last days broke my heart. 
 
 
Audiobook Review: ☆☆☆☆☆ 
Brie Carter and Chandler Gregoire narrate Society of Lies. Both voice actors are fairly new to the audiobook world, and they absolutely knocked this book out of the park. They did an incredible job bringing the characters to life and adding to the pacing of the story. I can’t wait to listen to more from them!
