Verity by Colleen Hoover

dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

I feel like the only interesting part of the story is Verity, and it's not in a "she's so bad she's good". It's just that all the other characters, Lowen and Jeremy, have little to no personality. The plot itself relies heavily on shock-value, and isn't great for re-readability
I also feel like the ending is a cop-out, and is pretty disappointing. 

Overall, if you're new to horror, it's a great introduction. Otherwise, you're fine to not read it.
