About Dream for the Dead:

Sybil Moon is a woman blessed with the gift—or rather the curse—of clairvoyance which she has turned into a successful career with the F.B.I. While visiting her brother in West Virginia, she visits an old coal company store being renovated and turned into a museum. This is when her gift proves anything but. The store's owner, Jasmine Richards, has been working hard to resurrect the sordid past of this abandoned company store that has long loomed over the impoverished streets of Whipple. Only after Jasmine moves in does she realize the local lore about the building may be true: Something that once called the Whipple Company Store home may have never left, and now—unseen, unsatisfied, and possibly dangerous—Sybil's visit has woken it.

Dang, talk about a wide range of books. Listen to find out what's on our March TBR!

How far would you go to belong? Lauren Ling Brown, author of Society of Lies, shares her inspiration behind the book, advice for authors in the same genre and insight into her world as the author of Reese’s Book Club Pick and USA Today's best-selling novel.

About Society of Lies:

Maya has returned to Princeton for her college reunion—it’s been a decade since she graduated, and she is looking forward to seeing old faces and reminiscing about her time there. This visit is special because Maya will also be attending the graduation of her little sister, Naomi.

But what should have been a dream weekend becomes Maya’s worst nightmare when she receives the news that Naomi is dead. The police are calling it an accident, but Maya suspects that there is more to the story than they are letting on.

As Maya pieces together what happened in the months leading up to her sister’s death, she begins to realize how much Naomi hid from her. Despite Maya’s warnings, Naomi had joined Sterling Club, the most exclusive social club on campus—the same one Maya belonged to. And if she had to guess, Naomi was likely tapped for the secret society within it.

The more Maya uncovers, the more terrified she becomes that Naomi’s decision to follow in her footsteps might have been what got her killed. Because Maya’s time at Princeton wasn’t as wonderful as she’d always made it seem—after all, her sister wasn’t the first young woman to turn up dead. Now every clue is leading Maya back to the past . . . and to the secret she’s kept all these years.
