So, when I started Verity, I was thinking, this isn’t nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I thought, well I guess Colleen Hoover isn’t that bad of a writer. But then about halfway through, I was really struggling to continue. Maybe it’s because I already knew exactly what happened, but it didn’t feel very suspenseful to me?

I’ve recently started reading more mysteries and thrillers and I’m always so elated when I’m not in the loop, when I’m guessing about what happens next. Even knowing the plot of this book, the parts I found shocking weren’t related to the thriller part.

The most shocking part is when Lowen lifts her pelvis up to keep Jeremy’s sperm inside her? A man she’s only just met really?? Yuuuuuck.

I REALLY loved this book! I don’t typically read anything dark or mysterious, but this was pleasantly surprising. I was glued to this book the entire time and couldn’t set it down. However, I think the sexual content was way over the top, even as a regular romance reader. It kept me from giving this book 5 stars, as well as some parts that didn’t completely make sense, like

Jeremy still allowing Crew to be around Verity while thinking she murdered his daughter.

Otherwise, I loved the suspense of the book and thoroughly enjoyed it!

CW: child abuse, fatphobia, body dysmorphia

It was fine. The plot twist was fine. Seems like a situation that is very preventable, so it is kind of difficult to believe at points. But it's fiction, so you have to suspend your disbelief.

Dug the creepy vibes, but the characters seemed underdeveloped & it all went by in a rush.

4.0

Well.. this book consumed me to the point I physically couldn’t put it down. Dark, sinister, twisty, suspenseful, captivating, thought-provoking, addictive, completely jaw-dropping, breathtaking.. the list could go on. Verity had to say the least some pretty fucked up chapters where I literally through the book away from me I was so disgusted. I wanted to claw my eyes out with what I was reading, yet it had me going back for more. It is incredibly well-written but I felt the ending was a bit rushed. I haven’t read anything like Verity before and I have read a few CoHo books but this is definitely different to anything else she has written.

Fast-paced and easy to read due to being so twisted and creepy. I couldn't put the book down.
However, I found it very predictable and unrealistic. I didn't really like any of the characters and the constant switch between sex scenes and mystery/suspense was a bit too much.
