Ready for an unexpected thriller?


 This is the second book I've read by Colleen Hoover.  The first book I read was Regretting You, which I thoroughly enjoyed.  This book did definitely not disappoint.  I've read through so many fantastic reviews on Goodreads about Verity, that I figured it was time to see for myself, and when I was able to get the book through my Kindle Unlimited, I took full advantage.  

    The premise of the book is about the author Verity Crawford.  She's been in a near fatal car accident and is still under a contract to finish her book series.  Her husband, Jeremy, hires an up and coming author, Lowen Ashleigh, to finish the series on Verity's behalf.  Lowen agrees because she can desperately use the money offered to her for this venture, her mother recently passed away, and she needs something to focus on in life.  In order to do this, Jeremy suggests that Lowen come to their home to sort through Verity's materials and files for inspiration and get a feel for Verity's writing.  Throughout the process, Lowen learns not only about Verity's crash, but also the deaths of their twin daughters. 

    Quite often while she's staying at their home, Lowen feels extremely uncomfortable, like Verity is watching and very much alive, even though no one believes her.  She keeps wanting to leave, but Jeremy keeps asking her to stay, as they are forming their own type of connection.  

    Just when I thought I knew the outcome of the book, Hoover takes an unexpected turn throwing me way into left field.  Anyone who is looking to read a very well-written unexpected thriller, this book is for you.  It's quick moving, and I couldn't put it down because I wanted to know what would happen next.
