1. CHAI reviews for Verity

Me, rollerblading into my therapist’s office with heart-shaped sunglasses and a piña colada and dropping this book on the desk with a loud thud: Boy do we have much to talk about today!

Why read Verity when you can just pull out an Ouija board and summon a demon from hell? I’m sure it’ll have the same effect. I finished this book feeling completely sapped of life, as if I’ve been bleeding freely for the past few hours instead of simply reading. That ending. What the hell. If I could just shake my head to dissolve the memory of it, to disarrange it somehow, I would. Because of all the things I’d braced myself for, that was not it.

Right. Let’s talk plot.

Lowen Ashleigh is set free from the long tedium of her daily life when she’s employed by Jeremy Crawford to ghostwrite the remaining books in a popular series his wife, Verity, is unable to finish due to an unfortunate accident. Lowe acquiesces in the spirit of hope: that this opportunity would help her acquire some small measure of celebrity and that celebrity would be oxygen to the fire of her career. But nothing prepares Lowe for Verity’s autobiography, which she accidentally stumbles upon one day. For the horror of it. Verity’s secrets paint a different picture of what Lowen thought she knew of Verity, Jeremy, and their lives together. But sooner or later, as these things often go, the whole truth will spill, and the fraught waiting in-between would come to an end, with havoc and screaming and loss.

“After all, this is a house full of Chronics. The next tragedy is already long overdue.”

I love books that make me backtrack my own declarations of preference. The books that catch me completely off-guard, astonish me, keep me on my toes. Verity is not at all what I expected, and I think it is all the better for it. I picked it up with a great deal of skepticism. I did not enjoy any of Hoover’s previous work, and didn’t think Verity would tip the scales. I’ve never been happier to be so wrong because this book absolutely lives up to the buzz.

Verity is a huge departure from Hoover’s catalogue. It’s a fiendishly clever, mind-bending whirligig of a book. The plot is a hall of mirrors where everything is a vacant reflection, including the people who live there. Hoover draws you into a world where illusion informs reality, and time enfolds hauntingly. She lures and tricks and wrong-foots. Always, she wields her unreliable characters to stunning effect: confounding, disturbing and delighting in turn. Not only is nothing what it seems, it’s not even what it seems after it’s been revealed to be not what it seems. And I was entrapped in this story long before I even realized the net was already cast.

The book’s biggest triumph to me was the sheer energy threaded the pages, how it feels uncontrollable, yet it is perfectly under control by the author. I like the way Hoover makes you feel Lowe’s deep-skin unease and confusion as if it’s your own. You can sense the danger pulsing all around, and while you can scarcely see the freshly hideous future taking shape ahead, you can feel it all the same. In short, if I were Lowe, I’d have gotten the hell out of there. I’d have been impressed by her courage if I weren’t too preoccupied repeating a litany of “GET OUT OF THERE, YOU IDIOT” in my head.

And, oh my God, the ending. That shit struck me backhanded. I’m still reverberating from it. Because here’s the thing: Verity offers its reader no solidity of truth that they could hold in their hands. Even as I was reading and rereading the last chapter I was mining it for clues, trying to make sense of something that felt so utterly senseless. Everything I’ve read up until that point felt like a false memory and I was left shaking my fist at the whole book for leaving me on such a hideous note as it did. Because, what.

So, yeah. I’m going to let this story haunt me for a long time.

2. MELISSA reviews for Verity

Bold. Unrelenting. All-consuming. Creepy. Unputdownable.

What I’ve come to appreciate most about Colleen Hoover’s work—whether it’s an emotionally charged love story or in this case, her first go at suspense—is her penchant for pushing boundaries. For telling the unexpected story.

“It’s got bad things in it. Bad words, bad people, bad scenes.”

Hoover preempted Verity’s release with a warning of sorts—although facetious and comical in delivery, it’s something sensitive readers should take to heart. This storyline is dark, and the lives of the characters that inhabit the pages are far from perfect—so, don’t kid yourself into thinking this is something it’s not. Verity is horrifying, maddening, and what-the-hell-inducing, but it’s also sustenance for that bibliophile looking to satisfy a craving for something different.

From chapter one, it’s blatantly obvious this comes from an entirely different side of Hoover’s psyche than her typical love stories. Blood spatter accompanies the all-consuming, addictive quality of her words. Storytelling with the power to crawl inside of your mind, take over, and demand your undivided attention.

Lowen’s life is literally in shambles—her mom just passed, she’s broke, on the brink of eviction and even though she’s a talented author, the crippling anxiety involved with marketing herself to fans has made her work less than popular.

It’s the opportunity of a lifetime that uproots Lowen from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan to the quiet Vermont countryside. Contracted by a publisher to ghostwrite the three remaining books in an uber-popular series after the author was involved in an accident, Lowen has a ton of work ahead. Research lands her in Verity Crawford’s home office, looking for anything that might indicate the direction the author wanted to take the series. Instead, she finds herself caught-up in Verity’s life. Living in her home, sleeping in her bed, and spending time with Verity’s husband, Jeremy, and their young son. Inescapable is the grief and pain marring it all.

Most surprising was the level of creepiness Hoover managed to incite. A level even some seasoned suspense writers fail to attain. From someone who reads in the genre consistently and watches horror, it’s quite the feat for me to feel this level of anxiety. For my stomach to be twisted in knots, in anticipation of what’s to come—but, it happened.

And that finale . . . stunning. I was so sure I’d pinpointed exactly what was happening and why, but I was wrong. So very wrong.

Hoover mentions in her Acknowledgements that this was an indie project she wanted to branch out and write on her own, which is commendable and exciting when you think about where her inner drive might take readers next. While there’s no denying her love stories are fierce, my hope is for more suspense. To be this taken with her first try, I can only imagine what that mind of hers might dream up next.

3. EMILY MAY reviews for Verity

“Find what you love and let it kill you.”
-Charles Bukowski

Woah, this was fuuuucked up. It should really come with a warning: do not start reading this at night if you want to sleep.

For two reasons, actually. One, it is so compulsively readable that it’s almost impossible to put it down until you’ve finished it. And two, it is seriously creepy and disturbing. Warnings for depictions of child abuse and some graphic violence.

Perhaps this doesn’t need to be said, but Verity is definitely not a regular Colleen Hoover romance. There’s a love story, and sex, but it is predominantly a creepy thriller. And a mindfuck, if we’re being honest.

Verity is mainly about three people – struggling author Lowen Ashleigh, a man called Jeremy Crawford, and Jeremy’s wife, Verity, who was recently left incapacitated by a car accident. Verity is a successful writer, but she is no longer able to continue her bestselling series. That’s why Lowen is brought in to complete the remaining three books. To do so, she stays at the couple’s house so she can go through Verity’s notes.

But Lowen finds something else in Verity’s office. An unfinished autobiography. As she reads, her fear grows. Lowen begins to dig into dark truths about the family and the deaths of their twin daughters. At the same time, she finds herself falling for Jeremy and wondering if perhaps she should reveal the truth to him.

I don’t want to say too much, but I thought it was excellent. Hoover expertly leads us on a winding trail of lies and manipulation. As the story is essentially Hoover – an author – writing about an author reading about another author, there’s this constant sense that someone is lying to you– but who is it? Now, that’s not so easy to tell.

I was good at spewing bullshit. It’s why I became a writer.

This may seem like a bit of a backhanded compliment, but I think I enjoy Hoover’s fucked-up books so much because I usually find her regular romances kinda fucked up. I like her books so much more when she’s writing about trauma and morally-questionable characters than when she’s trying to sell me a douche as a love interest.

It’s a clever book, and I don’t simply mean because of its twists and turns. It’s clever because of the fear and uncertainty the author creates. That all three authors create. The aptly-named Verity is a novel about fictions and truths, about authors and characters, and about how it can sometimes be hard to separate the two.

I found it absolutely riveting.

4. YUN reviews for Verity

How did Colleen Hoover ever think up this dark and twisted tale? It is so unique, so completely shocking that it blows away every other suspense story I’ve ever read.

Lowen is a struggling writer when she gets an offer too good to pass up. Jeremy, the husband of successful author Verity Crawford, hires Lowen to complete Verity’s series when his injured wife is unable to do so. Once Lowen arrives at their home to start compiling notes and do research, she discovers an unfinished manuscript that looks to be Verity’s autobiography. What is written in those pages will horrify and haunt anyone who reads it.

So many books advertise as suspenseful thrillers, but hardly any of them cause my heart to blip even a little. (I know, I’m a stone cold reader.) But this book! There is such a deliciously creepy atmosphere that permeates throughout and it got me good. I’ll admit to heart palpitations, cold clammy hands, and being startled at the smallest noises. And as the story progresses and we find out more and more, the tension ratchets up to almost unbearable levels.

There was never any hope for me. I was hooked from the very first page. There is a creativity to this story that makes it hard to look away. I’ve never read anything like this, not even close. As a result, every page was a surprise and I just wanted to keep going. And as the truth gets darker and more tortuous, I had no choice but to hold on for the ride of my life.

This book employs one of my favorite formats, a story within a story. I’ve loved pretty much every book I’ve come across that uses this format, and it works especially well here. The interspersing of the inner manuscript with the outer story allows us to find out what’s going on at the same time that Lowen is figuring things out.

I cannot believe this is Colleen Hoover’s first thriller. Reading this feels like watching a master at their craft, setting the bar higher than I ever thought possible. This story is so astonishing and unsettling and completely original. It will stay with me for a long time.

6. JACKIE reviews for Verity

I was going down a rabbit hole of Colleen Hoover’s books and saw this one. The premise of the book was a little vague but the reviews were good so honestly I had no idea what I was getting myself into. From start to finish it has you questioning if this is real or not. If the main character is imagining everything or not, and an absolutely crazy plot twist at the end! I couldn’t sleep after finishing it bc of the feelings of uneasiness. I loved this book so much. Definitely going to share it with my friends.

7. CANGEL reviews for Verity

I am late to the show. This is my second Collen Hoover book I’ve read. This book completely blew my mind. It left me wanting more and more.

The book goes back and forth between the main character perspective of the story and the notes of an author the character is researching whose name is Verity.

Verity’s unpublished notes leak some of the most horrendous acts of violence, jealousy, envy. Everything one is afraid to admit in life is in her manuscript. But was it just plain writing or was everything she wrote true?

I finished the book in a couple of days. It was an easy read.

8. MARLENE RICO reviews for Verity

“Verity” is a book that grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go. You are hooked right from the start! 📖

We first meet Lowen, a struggling writer who gets an unexpected break when Jeremy hires her to finish his wife Verity’s book series. Verity, a successful author, is now bedridden after a tragic accident, and Jeremy is desperate to keep her legacy alive. The series must be finished and he has no other choice but to hire a silent author to help, its Lowens big break…so she thinks. 😬

Lowen then has to move into the home Jeremy and Verity share to work on the books. 🏠🖤 She soon discovers a hidden manuscript that reveals some very dark and disturbing secrets about the couples lives, how they met, and how they were when she was well. As Lowen reads more, she becomes increasingly unsettled and conflicted, she has no idea if she should share any of this with Jeremy.

The tension in “Verity” is palpable. Hoover did a phenomenal job where she incorporates thrill and suspense. Lowen’s internal struggle is compelling, and the revelations she uncovers keep you on the edge of your seat. 🤯Each twist and turn leaves you guessing and eager to find out what happens next.

This book is impossible to put down. Even when you reach the end, “Verity” lingers in your mind, leaving you wanting more. Colleen Hoover has crafted a story that is both haunting and unforgettable. If you’re looking for a book that will keep you up at night, “Verity” is the one to read. I did not want it to end 😩

10. SOPHIA JUDICE reviews for Verity

It’s currently 5:00 am, and I read Verity in one sitting. Dear god this book is FUCKED UP, and I love it. I’m obsessed with twisted, disturbing, dark stuff that messes with my brain. It feels like a mix between The Silent Patient and Gone Girl. I physically could not put this book down. Definitely my favorite Colleen Hoover book I’ve read. This had everything I love: smut, sadness, and mind-bending plot twists. This book felt like a rollercoaster, and I implore you all to read it. Such a thrilling read.

Verity Quotes by Colleen Hoover

The best book quotes from Verity by Colleen Hoover

“But when a person finds someone who makes all the negativity in their lives disappear, it’s hard not to feed off that person.”

“With every day that passed, that first night with him was further validated. And that’s what love at first sight is. It isn’t really love at first sight until you’ve been with the person long enough for it to become love at first sight.”

“And that’s why I stay at home and write. I think the idea of me is better than the reality of me.”

“I think the idea of me is better than the reality of me.”

“No one is likable from the inside out.”

“Find what you love and let it kill you.”

“I wasn’t heroic. I wasn’t simple. I was difficult. An emotionally challenging puzzle he wasn’t up for solving.”

“What you read will taste so bad at times, you’ll want to spit it out, but you’ll swallow these words and they will become part of you, part of your gut, and you will hurt because of them.”

“It’s what you do when you’ve experienced the worst of the worst. You seek out people like you…people worse off than you…and you use them to make yourself feel better about the terrible things that have happened to you.”

“A writer should never have the audacity to write about themselves unless they’re willing to separate every layer of protection between the author’s soul and their book. The words should come directly from the center of the gut, tearing through flesh and bone as they break free. Ugly and honest and bloody and a little bit terrifying, but completely exposed.”

“The world was her manuscript. No surface was safe.”

“Most people come to New York to be discovered. The rest of us come here to hide.”

“the things lurking around inside the mind can be just as dangerous as tangible threats.”

“I stretch truths where I see fit. I’m a writer.”

“I was difficult. An emotionally challenging puzzle he wasn’t up for solving.
Which was fine. I wasn’t in the mood to be solved”

“The good thing about sins is they don’t have to be atoned for immediately,”

“I was good at spewing bullshit. It’s why I became a writer.”

“It’s natural, to assume the worst in people, even if that assumption is only for a split second”

“Some families are lucky enough to never experience a single tragedy. But then there are those families that seem to have tragedies waiting on the back burner. What can go wrong, goes wrong. And then gets worse.”

“I needed for the imaginary version of my world to be darker than my real world. Otherwise, I would have wanted to leave them both.”

“The kiss was full of both desire and respect—two things a lot of men didn’t seem to know could go hand in hand.”

“One should only walk away from an autobiography with, at best, an uncomfortable distaste for its author.”

“Take care of your physical being. Feed it what it needs, not what the conscience tells you it wants. Giving in to cravings of the mind that ultimately hurt the body is like a weak parent giving in to her child. “Oh, you had a bad day? Do you want an entire box of cookies? Okay, sweetie. Eat it. And drink this soda while you’re at it.” Caring for your body is no different from caring for a child. Sometimes it’s hard, sometimes it sucks, sometimes you just want to give in, but if you do, you’ll pay for the consequences eighteen years down the road.”

“My mother used to say that houses have a soul, and if that is true, the soul of Verity Crawford’s house is as dark as they come.”

“Your writing matters to me, Lowen.”

“If we were friends, I would do something to comfort him. Maybe grab his hand and hold it. But there’s too much inside me that wants to be more than his friend, which means we can’t be friends at all. If an attraction is present between two people, those two people can only be one of two things. Involved or not involved. There is no in-between.”

“I don’t want to call him an asshole. He’s a little kid, and he’s been through a lot. But I think he might be an asshole.”

“And that’s how easy it is for a writer to pretend to be someone they aren’t.”

“It was amazing how different sex felt when a person used more than their body. I involved my heart and my gut and my mind and my hope. I fell in that moment. Not in love. I just…fell.”

“Here, I’m invisible. Unimportant. Manhattan is too crowded to give a shit about me, and I love her for it.”

“If this bitch turned off that goddamn television, I’m walking out that front door without shoes on and I’m never coming back.”

“I’m the awkward writer who posts a picture of my book and says, “It’s an okay book. There are words in it. Read it if you want.”

“I wanted him to panic, to worry, to feel bad for me, to cry for me. To cry for me.”

“No matter which way I look at it, it’s clear that Verity was a master at manipulating the truth. The only question that remains is: Which truth was she manipulating?”

“It’s what you do when you’ve experienced the worst of the worst. You seek out people like you… people worse off than you… and you use them to make yourself feel better about the terrible things that have happened to you.”

“I’ve heard of Resting Bitch Face, but I relate more to Resting Bored Face.”

“You can’t look at someone the way he looked at me—with the entirety of his past—without also imagining the future.”

“when a person finds someone who makes all the negativity in their lives disappear, it’s hard not to feed off that person.”

“If an attraction is present between two people, those two people can only be one of two things. Involved or not involved. There is no in-between.”
