‘Society of Lies’ was a total snooze fest and honestly put me in my first reading slump in years. The characters weren’t well-developed. The pacing was slow. The storyline was told from multiple points of view from multiple points in time which really muddled everything together and I had to keep flipping back and forth to figure out whose perspective I was reading. I didn’t even care about who did what towards the end of this book, I was just focused on finishing, so that I could move on to the next.

How far would you go to fit in? Society of Lies is a gripping 5-star thriller that instantly gave me The Skulls (2000) vibes. Set in an elite school with a secret society at its core, this story dives deep into the cost of belonging, ambition, and buried truths. With deaths, deception, and unraveling secrets around every corner, it’s a true page-turner that keeps you guessing until the very end. Dark, twisted, and impossible to put down.
