dark tense

I read this in one day. The story was fast paced and suspenseful. My wheels were turning the whole time yet I didn't expect it to end the way it did. I really enjoyed the story and characters

I want to give it a 5 but something is stopping me and I don't know what. I don't know if it's the tense story stuff or a fault in a character or two. But overall I did love it if it wasn't for real life distractions I would have easily read in a day. 
Please read the warnings though. It's intense. I'm shocked how this went. Overall another great read from colleen hoover.

This book was creepy as hell, I was expecting a romance with maybe a bit of sadness but this was crazy town. 

I do not know how Low could put down the manuscript, I wanted to skip chapters so I could finish the whole damn manuscript in one sitting. I know people are debating whether she was the villain or not, but tbh Jeremy seemed more crazy especially if you read the bonus chapter. And do not get me started on Lowen, girl you are unstable if you are competing with a dead chick. Run your husband is a psychopath!

dark mysterious fast-paced

3.5

I can always slam through a Colleen Hoover book, even though I'm aware of the formula so I know when a twist is coming even if not specifically what the twist is. I can't put it down, yet it's nothing that feels special. This one though was just tough because it was so dark, it wasn't really enjoyable though it was engrossing.

I was forced to read this. Like honest-to-god forced to read this for my girlfriend so they had someone to talk to about it. I don't like Colleen Hoover. I have sworn her off. But damn it did I like Verity.

The writing style was nothing spectacular. The characters lacked any real personality. Lowen is so isolated, and I hate it. I know why it is done, but this book and pretty much all the relationships and interactions in it are so toxic. I legitimately do not understand why this is considered a romance. Verity and Jeremy have sex, great.

Jeremy ultimately manipulates Lowen into having sex.

Maybe that's romance and I'm not dating right. Is this like... straight person love? I digress. I think that this book does fall flat in many places, but I could not put it down.

The reason my rating is so high is because I could not put the book down. I was so intrigued about the twist that my girlfriend kept mentioning. Reading the ending of Verity, I physically had to stop and process what the hell was going on. While I may not agree with the ending, it was good and had me thinking. I'm still thinking about it.
