Verity
by Colleen Hoover
4.5 Crazy WTF Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Another late addition to my best of 2018 reads.
Well, Colleen Hoover released another book

If you don't already know it by now CoHo is the queen of romance, her books (if you haven't read them) always have a romance element to them, even if the story line deals with some heavy (and important) topics, and is one of my absolutely favourite authors.
But then she decides to just move away from the genre that everyone knows and loves, and self publish a psychological thriller, I mean WHO DOES THAT??
COLLEEN FREAKING HOOVER THAT'S WHO!!
This book shouldn't work, looking at her back catalogue, you would expect to find Love, Despair and happiness, all wrapped with a kind of awkwardly placed bow.
But this book WORKS PEOPLE!!!
I'm not sure whether she popped to Tarryn Fisher's house and they somehow managed to have some weird Seance-Ouija board party, where their minds were mixed together, but CoHo went to the dark side people!!

I was really worried about reading this book, I love a Psychological Thriller, and have read some great...and not so great ones, so for CoHo to even attempt to do this deserves a high five.
Verity follows the story of Lowen Ashleigh, an author who is hired by Jeremy Crawford, to complete the remaining books in a hugely successful series by his wife, the bestselling author Verity Crawford, who, after an accident, is unable to finish them on time.
Although Lowen is struggling financially, she doesn't feel like she should be the one taking on this monumental task, however when the dollar signs are waved in front of her face, the idea of being able to pay off her debts is too large, and she takes the job.
She is advised to stay at Verity's house for a few days to sort through the outlines and notes for the new books, considering she has never read any of the books by the author, it is a huge task to take on.
Finding years worth of notes and boxes of files in Verity's office, Lowen realises what a massive task this will be.....and then she finds the autobiography!
And that my friends is all I am going to tell you about this book, yes you could have gotten all of this from the blurb, but this is one that you need to go in blind!
I haven't read a book that had me hating every character for a long time, I mean I LOVED them, but Gahh do they have any redeeming qualities...Nope!
You know when you are watching a thriller / horror film, and you start shouting at the TV? The music is taking a turn, and you know something is about to happen, and the BAM, your popcorn goes flying, and your heart starts racing?
THIS is the book that did that to me!
Prepare yourself for a dark, brilliant read.

“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.”
