A Very Verity Story

This is not turning into a Colleen Hoover fan account, I swear. After the first two though, I was impressed enough to check out her other books and see what called my attention. Sadly, not many - majority gave me the impression that they were teen dramas and I wanted to crank it up a notch (or two). There was an exception though, as there always is - Verity.

Verity was positioned as a romantic thriller, which couldn’t be anymore up my alley if it tried. The synopsis explaining that a woman going through what many dread, their mother dying, is in a desperate need for money and guidance - not happy with where her life has ended up thus far. In a pit of her own despair, she suddenly finds herself being offered what is the job offer of a lifetime. Unable to turn it down, she moves into the house of a famous writer behind a beloved series - summoned to save the series when the author isn’t able to complete it.

Aside from a tremendous amount of pressure and the nerves that come along with starting over, she finds that the reason that she is there is not as cut and dry as she had anticipated. She is charmed by the husband of the author she was hired by and quickly stumbles upon information that would change his life in an instant. If you had information that would hurt someone and turn their whole life upside down, would you tell them?

This book was a perfect mix of thriller and romance - it had me constantly second guessing while swooning. The ending was a twist I didn’t see coming, and they didn’t just fool me once, they fooled me twice! It was an easy read that I breezed through, which was easy to do when I was forever anxious to find out what happened next. Verity by Colleen Hoover lived up to its predecessors, and honestly, may have been even better. On the Colleen Hoover train I stay…
