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 loving her . . .
I can’t believe I am saying this but, this is my first Colleen
Hoover novel that I have read! My mum for the first time brought me two books
for Christmas and Verity was one of them so I was going into this novel with no
expectations but wow I now know this is an author I have been missing out on.
Author Lowen Ashleigh is given the opportunity of a lifetime
that could save her from financial ruin, all she has to do is complete the
books in the series by author Verity Crawford who is injured after a car crash.
Lowen is invited to the family home to see what she can discover
in Verity’s office that may help her to find ideas Verity had for her upcoming
novels but when Lowen unexpectedly finds an unpublished autobiography of Verity’s
life and the part she has played in the devastation her family has faced will
Lowen be able to keep it hidden from husband Jeremy?
I sat down to start reading Verity and I didn’t put this book
down once, I was completely enthralled by this storyine and the characters that
I couldn’t leave them even for one second. The authors writing skill is an
incredible craft because it seemed so effortless and yet there was something
happening at every moment keeping me on my toes, eager to find out what else
Lowen was going to uncover and how she was going to prove what she has been
seeing and sensing in the house too.
This storyline was both thrilling and exciting whilst being
completely unpredictable too and one shocking revelation lead to the next and
at times it was quite chilling with the goings on in the house ( I don’t want
to give any spoilers so that is all I will say on the matter).
The structure of the book worked really well with the
chapters of Verity’s book being weaved into our own chapters too so we can see what
Lowen is discovering allowing us to form our own opinions alongside her.
If like me you are new to Colleen Hoover this is definitely a
book I would recommend you pick up because I now know that I have a lot of
catching up to do with her other novels and I am off into town today to grab
another one, I am excited to have found another fantastic new author to me.
