Verity by Colleen Hoover

Verity

by Colleen Hoover

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. 

Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity's recollection of the night their family was forever altered. 

Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already grieving father. But as Lowen's feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife's words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue to love her. 

Due to graphic scenes and mature content, this book is recommended for readers 18+.

Verity had a very creepy, eerie feeling to it - from start to finish. And even after I finished reading, that feeling stayed with me. What is the truth? How did things get so bad? And will anything ever be easier for the characters now?
I only have questions, no answers...
CoHo outdid herself with this book, she went way out of her own, and her readers, comfort zone, and she did so masterfully.
Verity is both character driven and story driven, and the fact that there is a book within the book just made things even more creepy!
