Some books linger in your mind long after you turn the last page, and Verity by Colleen Hoover was one of those for me. I went into it expecting a gripping thriller, but what I got was an utterly twisted, dark, and unforgettable story that kept me hooked from start to finish. The unexpected plot turns, the spicy tension, and the unsettling mystery made this a five-star read. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, questioning everything even after I finished.
"The things lurking around inside of us never really go away. We can pretend they aren’t there, but sometimes, all it takes is one little slip to make them resurface."
Verity by Colleen Hoover
Struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh gets the opportunity of a lifetime when she’s hired to complete the unfinished book series of bestselling author Verity Crawford, who is unable to continue her work due to an accident. When Lowen arrives at Verity’s home to sift through her notes, she stumbles upon a hidden, chilling manuscript, one that reveals horrifying truths about Verity and her family. As Lowen wrestles with her conscience and growing attraction to Verity’s husband, Jeremy, she’s pulled deeper into a web of secrets, deceit, and psychological manipulation.
