Verity

the printing of the book looks very cheap like it ran out of ink

Colleen's books are really good. had me gripped from the start.

I loved verity. ***Check trigger warnings***If you are a character driven reader you may not like this book because alot of the main characters are unlikable. Good storyline tho Team Letter 😭✌🏼

Got this title from a book club im in. Well… I started and literally could not put it down. Was gripped from the first page until the last.Got to be one of the best books ive read in sometime. A must read!

This is only my second Colleen Hoover book and I loved it just as much as the first one I read (It Ends With Us), although it has a very different tone. It's described as a 'romantic thriller' and that's definitely what it is.The story is narrated by Lowen, a struggling writer who's commissioned to finish a successful series of novels written by bestselling author Verity Crawford, after Verity is involved in an accident which leaves her unable to write herself. Lowen moves into the home where Verity is being cared for by her husband Jeremy, and begins to read through the contents of Verity's office. There she finds an unpublished autobiography which holds terrible secrets...I was hooked from the get-go and raced through this. Once Lowen is in the Crawfords' house, the atmosphere and tension is built subtly but effectively. with Lowen left wondering if she's imagining things as she gets to know more about Verity, Jeremy and their previous life together. The characters were well developed, but I did think Lowen was a bit flat compared to the others and was more of a tool for telling the story. The dual narration between Lowen and Verity (in her autobiography) gave a perfect balance between the mystery of what had happened in the past and the suspense of what was coming. And the ending... I don't think I've ever read a book where I immediately had to jump online to see what other people were saying about it! I was desperate to discuss it with someone, and I'll definitely be suggesting this book to my book club so that I can do just that!A lot of the book is very disturbing, and there's a huge focus on sex, but it all added to the heightened emotion which left me having to turn the page well into the night. Verity is an indie project from Colleen Hoover, and boy did she gamble well in releasing this one herself. I can't get it out of my head, and I can't wait to read more of her novels.

Verity is a Best Selling Author but due to a tragic accident she has been left in a coma. Her husband Jeremy and Verity's publishers give struggling young author Lowen Ashleigh the opportunity of a life time and employ her to the task of writing and finishing a series of Verity''s books.Arriving at the author's home to take on the task, Lowen feels a little uncomfortable. You know that kind of uncomfortable where you get a chill up your spine and you just know things are not what they seem? Hold on tight because from this point this book will have you clutching the cliff edge for your life !!!Lowen begins to learn more of this family and the tragedy's its suffered. Jeremy really is creeping into her heart, how he cares for their son, how he cares for his wife, being nursed at home. Again I say things are not always what they seem !! Both are growing feelings towards the other and even with the situation its beautiful!! oh they were in such a heart crushing situation, how can falling in love be so unfair!!When Lowen comes across a manuscript written by his wife, her turmoil begins and i have to tell you, you will be snared into these characters and book to a point of obsession!! The twist, the emotions, and still hang on to that feeling of holding on by a thread, its tense, it's a little creepy are parts because you just know something catastrophic is going to happen, BUT WHAT !!!! omg i could never have been prepared for the outcome of this story !! Dive in!!! Its absolutely incredible and will have you mind in shatters for days never mind your heart !!

My first novel by Colleen Hoover and wow she is an amazing writer with how she brings the characters to life, un-put-downable and not one boring paragraph.One of my favourite genres is obsession with a person and the book has to have a twist so i had to own this book helped by rave reviews.The sex scenes were fantastic, some readers say they were unnecessary but they play a suitable fitting role against the creepiness of the story.Yes the story is creepy and flows beautifully.I gave this 4 stars at first because i felt something was missing, the book was short and the ending seemed forced. I'd easily give 5 stars up until the ending and definitely for the writing.Then i thought about it and gave it 5 stars.WHY?Because I believe the reader needs NOT believe the ending! THEN it's 5 stars.You'll know what i mean once you delve into Verity.The FINAL word in the book is aimed at the reader directly from Verity!Without spoilers, i don't believe you Colleen and that's genius!

Wow .... just ....wow. That was one hell of a wild ride. It was equally enthralling and unsettling and I loved every page of this book.Loren has lost her mother and is meeting her publisher because she is now broke after taking time out from her writing to nurse her dying mother. On the way she witnesses a terrible accident and this throws her into the path of Jeremy. They have an instant connection and spark but he’s married and her life is already complicated.Jeremy turns up again at the meeting she was headed to and a lucrative but daunting offer is put to her. Jeremy’s wife is famous bestselling author Verity Crawford, she’s been in a terrible accident and the publishers want Lowen to take over Verity’s book series and write her 3 last books. They offer her a large sum of money but it’s really the prospect of seeing Jeremy again that makes her say yes.Lowen takes the job and moves into the Crawford family home to work through Verity’s notes and plan out the first book. While she does this she stumbles on an autobiography written by Verity that paints a sinister, twisted and malevolent picture of Verity’s true nature, her complete obsession with Jeremy and her lack of care for her dead children.Should Lowen tell Jeremy about Verity’s true personality and her possible responsibility for the loss of their children to win him for herself or should she leave the house and never come back? Also is Verity really as unresponsive, incapacitated and vulnerable as she seems? Lowen has to decide what she must do before time runs out and the secrets within the Crawford house destroy another life.Full 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 all the way for this story. Gripping the edge of my seat the whole way through and that ending, omg I’m still not sure what just happened. This book has such strongly developed characters, a shocking and engrossing plot with one of the most blindsiding, jaw dropping twists I’ve ever read. This is an amazing, romantic, psychological thriller and one I won’t forget for a long time.

This book is crazy! I now understand what everyone was saying about it. I was apprehensive at first to read it. I didn't know what to expect, but I am so glad I picked it up!Verity is unsettling, raw, gritty, disturbing, suspenseful and intense. I was seriously disturbed the whole time I read this book. I’m not sure if I loved it or hated it, liked the characters or hated them. It’s a story that’s not always likeable, but it was good. It was enthralling and made me think. That ending messed with my mind so bad, I don’t even know how to feel.I want to say more about this book, but I won't spoil anything about it.Just read it!
