Verity gave me a different experience than the average murder documentary type of beat. It makes you wonder about the reality of the book, sometimes making you question your rectitude.

I love the eeriness writing and the way it always leaves in a ‘what the actual fuck’ state, it keeps making me wanting to read more. It does mess with your mind about the situation or could just be deemed very disturbing (which it tends to lend on this side a bit more).

The characters are absurd, illogical and their morality are very much questionable. This is a book where you should go in fully blind, be in a certain mindset to be able to read and enjoy but be sure to read the warnings of course! *If you like twists and don't necessarily mind the element of child abuse, then go on to read.*

I’m not very picky about the “spices” in romance books so it wasn't much of my concern when it did happen in the book. 

I expected a lot from it, due to its raving reviews and I think Colleen Hoover did deliver. Can't wait to read more of her books in the near future!
