Verity: The thriller that will capture your heart and blow your mind, from the author of IT ENDS WITH US : Hoover, Colleen: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: No Spoilers 5 Stars for addictive reading - 5 Stars – Addictive, disturbing, and completely unforgettable Verity is one of those rare books that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. From the very first chapter, I was pulled into a dark, unsettling world where every character feels layered and nothing can be trusted at face value. It’s haunting, twisted, and incredibly addictive. The writing is sharp, and the tension builds in such a subtle, psychological way that I found myself questioning everyone’s motives—second-guessing every action, every look, every word. What makes this book truly brilliant is how it plays with your mind. It doesn’t hand you a tidy answer. Instead, it invites you to sit in the discomfort of uncertainty and draw your own conclusions. It left me feeling unnerved in the best way. Colleen Hoover creates an atmosphere that is equal parts claustrophobic and intimate. I loved how much was unspoken—how the silences and small moments carried just as much weight as the major plot points. There’s symbolism, subtle hints, and clever details that had me flipping back pages to re-read. If you enjoy morally grey characters, unreliable narratives, and stories that spark endless “what if” conversations—this book will completely consume you. I couldn’t stop reading, and now I can’t stop thinking about it Review: Thriller as described - Omg, what a story! I was all scared and surprised, thrilled and disgusted at the same time. Incredible story and a very thrilling read. I did not like the story though, as a parent though, that's why 4* It made me nauseous towards the end.

An absolute masterclass of the genre
A book I wish I'd written myself. From the unsettling events on the very first page, this psychological thriller doesn't let you put it down. An absolute masterclass of the genre that beautifully combines passion, intrigue, obsession and truly dark themes - it could be used as a prime example of how to write an unreliable narrator. I became just as obsessed with this book as Verity is with her husband Jeremy! I wish every psych thriller I read was this good!

Shockingly good - will have you gripped from the start
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.

Heel goed, de verkoper had een aardig berichtje in het boek gedaan omdat hij dacht dat het de verkeerde taal was. Uiteindelijk had ik graag de Engelse versie, dus bedankt!
