The word-of-mouth hit psychological suspense with an unforgettable twist, from the author of TikTok sensation It Ends With Us

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A thriller guaranteed to keep you up all night, with a twist that will leave you reeling... The TikTok sensation that you'll recommend to everyone you know.

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity's recollection of the night their family was forever altered.

Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already-grieving father. But as Lowen's feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognises all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife's words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue loving her...

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

*i>Verity by Colleen Hoover is described as truly twisted and jaw-dropping, deserving to be huge with a clever twist. It's impossible to put down, extremely pageturnery, and keeps readers on the edge of their seats. The novel is disturbingly sinister, addictive, and filled with unexpected turns, making it a brilliantly entertaining thriller that has become a talking point.
