Verity
If you want to have your attention seized and held hostage from the very first page, then Verity is the psychological suspense you’re looking for. The opening scene pulls no punches, and as the story’s events unfold it becomes one of the creepiest, most unnerving scenarios imaginable . . . By the final twist, you’ll want to recommend Colleen Hoover’s debut thriller to everyone.
Colleen Hoover has already won millions of fans around the world with her romantic fiction, and in Verity she takes her ability to conjure characters you’ll fall in love with and an emotional rollercoaster, and flips everything on its head to make an utterly compulsive, unexpected thriller.
Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer who’s offered an opportunity of a lifetime when she’s asked to complete the bestselling series of another author, Verity Crawford, who is too injured by a tragic accident to continue. Lowen travels to the Crawford home to sort through Verity’s plans for the unwritten novels – but instead, she finds a secret memoir. A memoir full of terrifying confessions, including shocking revelations about the tragedies that have torn Verity’s family apart. Lowen hides the manuscript from Verity’s husband, knowing it would devastate him – but it’s a decision that is thrown into question as strange things start to happen in the house . . .
I can’t recommend Verity highly enough – though be warned, you will not sleep after you turn the final page!
