Omg the hype about this book! I am probably the last person in the world to read it, but decided to finally take the plunge. I originally didn’t think it would interest me, but damn was I wrong!
Fast-paced from the first sentence, I was glued to my Kindle and didn’t want to put it down. While Hoover is more of a YA romance writer, I was pleasantly surprised that this book leaned more towards the romantic adult thriller genre.
I found myself fully invested in all of the characters and literally on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book.
It was a five star read for me up until the last couple of chapters. While I did appreciate the clever twist, savvy thriller readers might see it coming. I also was left with several major lingering questions. Hoover spends a great deal of time on certain plot elements that don’t lead anywhere in the end. I also think she had several opportunities to really go super dark with this (which would have been stellar), but she didn’t go all the way there.
Overall, Verity is a surprise winner for me and I am so glad that I bought into the hype!
4.5/5 stars

Thanks Jen! I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy this one as much as I did. Lol the headboard!! 😂
Glad you bought into the hype and it worked for you. Agree the ending was a bit predictable but still was fun read. This was my first book I read by this author and got sucked in for sure. I also enjoy her other books even tho they aren’t my typical genre.
Thanks Dutchie! I haven’t read any other books by this author. Are there any ones that you recommend?
Wasn't for me at all! LOL, but I'm glad you enjoyed it Jayme!
Thanks Holly! It seems people either love it or hate it!
Wonderful review Jayme!!! Glad that you enjoyed it!

Thanks for the recommendations Dutchie! I will check them out if I decide to read something different!
Great review, Jayme! So glad you enjoyed this! I haven’t read Hoover yet, but perhaps one day!
Thanks Jasmine! Glad I landed in the “Love� camp on this one!
I've had this one sitting on my shelf for ages - my physical bookshelf...lol. Need to get to it ...eventually. Glad you enjoyed it!
Lol Jen! So glad I’m not the only one who put it on the back burner! I hope you enjoy it!
Loved this! The only one I’ve read of hers
I totally agree with you: I really liked it, but it could have been darker. Great review!
Thanks Virginie! Glad that we agree on this one!
Great review, Jayme! This one caught me off guard too. I really enjoyed this one!
Couldn’t put this one down, a total WTF story! Great review, Jayme!
Thank you, Brandice!
Super review, Jayme and you’re not the last one to read this! Hoping to get to it during my arc hiatus in Nov-Dec. that’s the plan anyway🤷♀�
Thanks Terrie, that makes me feel a little better 😂!
Fabulous review, Jayme! I agree with all you write. Glad you enjoyed this too!
Thanks so much Meredith! Glad we agree on this one!
Great review! I didn't think I would like this one either but I ended up loving it too.
Thanks Summer! Glad I went for it! 😃
Great review!I have not read it yet. It’s been sitting on my shelves since its release but I’ve been procrastinating as the hype is too much and I was waiting to cool down. I do have the intention of reading this book before the end of this year.
Thanks Nilton! I caved!! 😂 I hope you read it soon, as it really is an excellent thriller!
I'm actually just about to start this one myself so you're not the last!
Lol Toni! I hope you enjoy it! It’s a crazy ride!
You're not the only one! A friend just loaned it to me saying I HAVE to read it. I'll be catching up on the hype shortly. Great review!
Lol thanks for making me feel better, Derek! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this.
Wasn't one of my favorites, probably because I just don't love CoHo's writing style. It's definitely a love it or hate it kind of book.
Melissa, sorry you were on the other side of the fence on this one. This is the first book that I have read by this author, so I didn’t know what to expect.
Fabulous review, Jayme! So glad it was worth the wait and the hype, and you thoroughly enjoyed! This is one of my all time favs! :)
Thanks Yun! Me too! Glad we agree on this one! 😃
I didn’t think it would be for me either, but it was! Great review!
Nice review, Jayme! I've yet to read this or any other CoHo, but I'm glad to hear this was so good for you!
Thanks Kat! This was my first from this author too! I was scared it wouldn’t be much of a thriller, but it definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat!
Great review, Jayme. People have either loved this book or hated it. Thrilled that it worked for you!
Thanks Jayne! I do highly recommend it if you haven’t read it yet!
I was really surprised at how much I liked it too. A fab review Jayme 🤩
Thanks Tina! Glad this worked for you too! 😃

Glad you took the plunge and really enjoy this one! 😁😍
I totally agree about the ending. Could’ve really been a ‘wow�, but I was left wanting more. Like you, I still really enjoyed it overall. Great review!
