really liked it
bookshelves: family-saga, romance-based

Let me confess right here and now I’ve been a Colleen Hoover virgin. Yes I have heard of this author, yes I own her first series, but, I have never taken the plunge to read the series I own. Why not? I really haven’t a clue, maybe because I thought the romance side was “lovey dovey� and I’m into thrillers.

Why have I explained all that!
Well, after this book it’s definitely going to change.
Yes I’m aware that she took a huge dive writing this and producing and publishing it on her own, but come on, her publishers are going to be shocked and amazed at the sheer talent of this lady.

This book was a huge surprise to me. I just went in blind expecting nothing and got EVERYTHING.

Everything a book of this genre should be.

Tension
Anxiety
The “can’t put this book down� and the “I stayed up to finish this�.
Flicking the pages so fast your fingers get sore.
Splashing your face with cold water because your body says “go to sleep� and you reply � just one more chapter�.

The three main characters in this plot were expertly crafted and life was breathed into them quickly that they soon stood tall in this readers mind on what role was whose.

Jeremy, married to Verity.
Then the third person in the wheel.

I don’t want to give a run down of who is who and what is what.
I went in blind not reading anyone’s review.

Now that I’ve read it, I’ve read plenty of reviews.

This isn’t hyped up.
It’s a surely twisted tale that will hook you so much you won’t know where this maze will end.

The last chapter made my jaw drop.

I’m hoping and wishing that we see more of the “dark cringeworthy � mind of Colleen Hoover.
I feel there’s more inside her to creep me out yet again!

message 17: by KAS (new) - rated it 4 stars

KAS Glad you finally read your first CoHo book, Sue, and enjoyed!! Just so you know, the majority of her books are romance. I wouldn’t call them ‘lovey-dovey,� but very well written romances that grab you right off the bat!! Terrific review, btw ;))


Lindsay L Great review Sue!


Meredith (Trying to catch up!) Terrific review, Sue! I just finished this and enjoyed it too!


ReadAlongWithSue recovering from a stroke★⋆. ࿐࿔ KAS I’m going to do it! This year I’m going to read the series I have


ReadAlongWithSue recovering from a stroke★⋆. ࿐࿔ Meredith, off to read your review ——�>


message 24: by Kira (new) - rated it 5 stars

Kira Simion So glad you tried her works and liked them! In my opinion, this is her best (but perhaps that's because she's practiced so much and that I don't prefer romance only haha. Thrillers are great sometimes and this one stands tall)! Let's read more exciting stories!

Yes let’s!
Romance isn’t my thing maybe that’s why they remain unread. I hope she writes more thrillers


Deanna I'm so glad you read this and I love your review!! I really enjoyed this book. I love a lot of her books. My favorite book of hers is Ugly Love.


Michelle Awesome review, Sue! :) This one was CRAZY fun!

Thank you.
Yes I need to read her first series. Romance or not I’m feeling it’s more to a story she writes than falling in love?

Nicola! Yes!

Jayme Fantastic review Sue!


NZLisaM Amazing review, Sue. I love how you structured it. 😊 Agree with you, don't think her romances will be lovey dovey - I'm thinking of trying one myself. 💖

Oh thank you Lisa. There’s a lot said in the blurb and by others so I didn’t want to give anything away.
