Fast paced, good twists, and if you read Colleen Hoover for her spicy scenes this book is no exception. But it’s dark and twisted for sure.

From the first page I did not want to put this book down! It was thrilling and mysterious with a lot of plot twists. The ending was completely shocking and I cannot stop thinking about it! Loved this book and would 10/10 recommend.

What. The. Fuck. Very captivating, keeps you hooked from the very first page. Just fucked up enough to mess with your head a bit. Really well written.

J’étais encore mitigée sur mon appréciation des œuvres de Colleen Hoover, mais ce livre m’a aidé à trancher. Je peux maintenant conseiller sans hésitation les livres de cette auteure, en particulier Verity, Without Merit et Cœur et Âme, en sachant que le lecteur y trouvera son compte. Ces lectures sont à la fois romantiques et troublantes, nous envoyant des fleurs accompagnées d’une touche de morbidité. 

Plus particulièrement, Verity offre une ambiance de thriller psychologique ponctuée de désirs charnels. J’ai beaucoup apprécié cette lecture qui m’a transporté dans un monde joyeusement morbide. Je donne à ce roman la note de 4,25/5.

This book was dark and twisty. The ending was not what I expected but I still feel that trigger warnings should be made at the beginning of the book

What a unique plot. I have never read or heard of a story similar to this one. 

I loved how this was staged. A ghost writer who thinks the original writer is faking her paralysis. A manuscript that makes the original writer sound like a psychopath. A rocky past. I can’t decide if the original author is just really good at writing or a psychopath. I feel like she’s a psychopath, but I don’t know. I wish the ending was slower. I don’t like how Jeremy just kills Verity on spot. It was so quick. I get that the letter is supposed to 180 a-ha moment but I wish the turn around time between the two was slower or written differently.

This was a solid 3.5 star read until the ending. I love the ending a lot. It's one thing to have a plot twist, but this is of a whole other world. I am speechless; highly recommend this one!!
