Book Description
Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin. When Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, asks Lowen to complete the remaining books in a contract his permanently injured wife is unable to fulfill, Lowen has no choice but to accept.
Lowen arrives at the Crawford home with the intention of only staying one or two nights—long enough to sort through Verity’s chaotic home office to collect all the notes and outlines she’ll need to start writing the first novel. But the more time Lowen spends with Jeremy Crawford, the less of a hurry she is in to leave. While there, Lowen uncovers a hidden manuscript. An autobiography containing chilling admissions Verity planned to take to her grave, including the truth behind the events that turned their lives upside down. A truth that, if revealed to Jeremy, would further devastate the already grieving father.
Lowen decides to keep the manuscript a secret, allowing Jeremy to continue to believe Verity is merely an innocent, unfortunate victim of circumstance. But as Lowen’s feelings for the devoted father and husband deepen, she wonders if keeping Jeremy in the dark is in her own best interest. After all, if Jeremy were to read his wife’s autobiography, the disturbing truth would make it impossible for him to continue to love her.
A chilling romantic thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover.
My Thoughts
I have read other books by Colleen Hoover, and I loved them. But have to say, by far, Verity is the best of all of them.
I am aware this is her first try on this genre, very different from all the her other stories, perhaps for that reason, I was able to appreciate it more. It is very impressive how she can move from one genre to another and still deliver an amazing book.
Verity is dark, disturbing, twisted, creepy, and still, I could not put it down. I had to make myself stop a few times to be able to process all going on. However, I am all for more of this from Colleen. I truly believe she is one of the few authors out there who can write it all.
What I love the most about Verity, and in other books, are the twists and unexpected endings. Whatever you thought, was not even close, and the author surprises you with a great ending.
I recommend Verity 100%, not only to Colleen Hoover fans but anyone looking for a great thriller, suspense read.
