Earlier this week I attended the Every Victim Every Time Conference in Bryan, TX and had the honor of listening to the survivor who wrote this book speak. As an advocate at a domestic violence agency I decided to sit in on her session at the conference and I do not regret it. Alisa is such a strong and resilient survivor and reading her book only further reaffirmed that for me. Her story is one that very clearly depicts how quickly domestic violence can escalate and become life threatening. It also explains how something that may seem small to an average person (like leaving a “sweet note” can actually be so dangerous for a victim of DV. Domestic violence isn’t just the physical abuse, it’s the financial abuse, emotional, stalking, harassment and so much more. Abusers will go to extreme lengths to continue to have power and control over their victims and this story shows that in many ways. There’s so much more I would like to say, but this is not my story to tell…. I will let Alisa Henin do that through her book.
I read this book in a total of about 6 hours. Spread out between two days…. I could not put it down! I kept thinking I knew where the story line was headed, but boy was I wrong. It kept getting crazier and crazier! And the ending?!? MIND BLOWN! I will definitely be checking out other books by this author!
Mind blown!
I have never read any books by this author. I had been told she typically writes romance novels and I shy away from those. However I came across this one… a thriller/ romance and I decided to give it a try & man I was NOT disappointed! I read this in about two days. From the moment I started the book to the end I was on the edge of my seat at all times! I never wanted to put it down! There’s so many dark twists and turns that I was constantly developing my own theories! I still don’t know what to think or believe! The only reason I am not giving Verity 5 stars is there’s was an insane amount of sex scenes in the book, like an obsessive amount. Other than that, I absolutely loved this book and will recommend it to others!

Wtf did I just read…..
This book never made me feel uncomfortable or gross Or terrified, but it did leave me.. confused? Like I have no idea what I just read or why… I think it was a waste of my time, but also I think it’s very strange. It was like watching a nasty adult film.
