Thoughts 💭
Verity started out so strong! The connecting experiences that happen within the first couple chapters made me want to root for the duo that cross paths. I loved the way Jeremy handles Lowen. How kind, thoughtful and understanding he is. Lowen stays true to her values and her comfort zone many times throughout the course of the book, but as a reader I felt I watched her grow enormously before the end. Although this book is a dark, thriller, romance book it very much invoked a lot of emotions from me. But I love a book that makes me feel so many different emotions. As the thriller picked up, my adrenaline was through the roof waiting for all the bad and craziness to happen! It was very much a page turner, I thoroughly enjoyed the way the book played out. The only issue I had with it was the ending fell flat. It felt like there was a back track to every plot point that was played out. It felt like Hoover was afraid to commit to the darkness she created, that she had to try to fix it at the end.
