4.0 out of 5 starsThis is not for the faint hearted.
Reviewed in Australia on 25 August 2021
Having heard that Colleen Hoover delivers some very emotional works, when I needed to use the letter V for a book challenge, this one seemed like as good a place as any to start.

Honeslty. I have no words.

In the beggining I was sceptical. Mainly because Colleen used a word that meant an alcoholic beverage to describe someone eyes matching their tie without actually giving the colour. When I read that my hope for her hype plumted.

This isn't a romance, and when I realised it wasn't, my expectation changed.

When that happened, I was able to sink myself in this book. My emotions ran high. There were times I was disgusted in what had happened, there were moments I swooned, and moments I had to put my kindle down. Time when I thought I knew exactly how it would end.

I will neither confirm or deny my suspicions, though I wasn't entirely off the mark. That in itself shows that reading Colleen Hoover was worth it. That this book was worth taking the time for.

2.0 out of 5 starsSoft core porn mystery written like a teen drama
Reviewed in Australia on 27 February 2022
TRIGGER WARNING: Child Abuse and the Neurodiverse community (particularly late-diagnosis)
Please research thoroughly before reading

SPOILER FREE REVIEW FOR THOSE HAVING DOUBTS

I yielded to the hype. I heard "pace, thriller, insane twists" and I thought it was true - I wont listen to the masses again.
I am the wrong audience for this book in many ways. Romance is not my bag; I also took at face value the 'thriller and 'mystery' tags and I shouldn't have.
Even removing those personal preferences from my review - this is still 'meh' at best.

The storyline had enough pace but the plot felt seriously underdeveloped and the writing quality was very Y.A except for the scenes where she talks you though a seeming unrelenting amount of bl*wjobs and while I fine with reading about sex when it works in to the story line - I guess i'm self-aware enough to not be turned on by trauma-bond sex.
I didn't realise I was reading the (exposition only) twist because I spent the entire novel waiting for the author to get to the bit where ..... *twist ending* happened.

I guess I was expecting more depth- somewhere, anywhere! Or at least for things to not to be so obvious. To me this is soft core porn, mystery written like a teen drama.

Holy… Wow. I didn’t read the blurb, didn’t read the trigger warnings (I firmly believe you should). I went into this head down not knowing what to expect and my mind is absolutely blown. I cried fat tears through most of it, it really upset me, but it was so well written that I loved it. I gripped onto every page I turned and demolished this book in mere hours. This book is a work of art, I should have expected it, being from this amazing author but I just, wow.

I’m not ashamed to admit I read this in one sitting! I love how it’s written and how you read it and build opinions on the characters and know what’s coming to only have it all turned upside down. I like how it kept me on my toes and has me still thinking about “ok, so who is the crazy one?” even now a day after reading it! It’s definitely not for the faint hearted and it’s not your typical romance novel but i give it a 10/10!

What a ride that was freaking amazing. If you’ve never read this author before or even if you have, you must get your hands on this book. I can’t even articulate the twists this story takes. My mind is blown away, blown to pieces I tell you, an absolute must read.

This book was a mind **** Had sleepless nights just thinking about what the hell happened😳 Without a doubt, though, one of the best reads.
Really want to know if Verity was actually dark or not - gives us some peace of mind 🙈

This book has blown my mind! It will stay with me long after I start my next read. SO GOOD!
I’ve always enjoyed a good psychological thriller.

Lowen is a struggling to get by as an author. When she gets the offer of a life time...

She’s to take over as co writer for a famous author, Verity Crawford. To finish her best selling book series...

Not at all sure she’s made the right decision. Lowen agrees to go through Verity’s notes for her next books...

What she discovers is something so twisted, she can’t even get her mind to process it all...

Don’t want to give too much away. As this is a book you need to read and experience for yourself. It does contain some disturbing content. So not for the faint hearted.

I hate Verity Crawford.

This book had me on the edge of my seat from the first sentence. I have read some pretty dark reads and loved every word of them but this dark book was even more twisted. I couldn't put it down, except of course when real life called. The detail of characters is very intriguing and I knew from the moment that Verity "looks" through the window at Lowen that she saw her.

The story in the story always fascinates me because technically you get two great reads in one and this is no exception. The twists & turns draw you in and honestly the manuscript whether was supposed to be what actually happened and the note discovered after was to cover it up or not just left me with my mouth hanging open. I honestly feel that the 5 star rating system need to change because 5 stars just seems like a low score for such an amazing book.

Thanks for the ability to read this Ms. Hoover, it's amazing.
