Welcome to Litsy!

I loved this book. Right from the beginning I was on the edge of my seat. If you‘re a fan of psychology thrillers I think that you‘ll enjoy this one. 4/5 Stars

This book left my jaw dropping open on so many occasions! A thriller so twisted, I couldn't put it down!!

I just don't know how to rate this book. I can list 20 things I love about it, and one that i don't...and somehow that one outweighs all the rest. See spoiler below.

This was a great thriller with romance. The story of a writer who is hired to finish an incapacitated best selling novelist‘s best selling series. It dives into the dark story of the novelist‘s family tragedy. I highly recommend! #suspense #romantsy

As a mother of a toddler, Verity was so hard to read at times 😭 I had to put it down several times to walk away and process so could push through. This book is going to haunt me for a long time. Colleen Hoover is a genius 🤯

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

After seeing this on all the book pages I follow I had to give it a go. There were some disturbing parts that I just had to tell myself weren‘t real but this book left me like WOW!!! It took some time when I finished it to wrap my head around it. Very on the edge of your seat!

Okay I'm still reading Verity. When Laura reads Verity's autobiography and Verity hates her babies ? I'm fuming! I put down my kindle and I'm just like, "dude wtf?"

Couldn‘t put this book down. It was a huge rollercoaster and I like to try and guess what happens next but couldn‘t with this one. Can‘t rate it highly enough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Currently reading Verity by Colleen Hoover 📖

Insanely different from any other Hoover novel I‘ve read in such a good way. This thriller was page-turning and made me desperate for answers. This one was really nice for mindless reading before getting back to heavier reads.

I just finished Verity by Colleen Hoover, making it my 85th book of the year! I reached my goal with a week left of the year. 🙌🏼

By far, the best thriller I‘ve read this year. I found it nearly impossible to put down. I would highly recommend it. This was my first book by Colleen Hoover—I will definitely be reading more of her work.

I loved this book so much! I recommend it to the fullest! I just wish it was longer if anything

While this book was a bit of a departure from Hoover‘s typical genre, it still had the markings of her signature writing style. Not gonna lie though, this book was quite a disturbing read. It kept me interested, as most of Hoover‘s novels do, but it also had some ridiculous plot holes and twists that were hard to ignore. Still, I admire when a successful writer goes outside their comfort zone to try something new.

Book club tonight. We discussed Verity. This pic was one of the bloopers before we got a good picture. 😂😂 Yes, we are wearing matching shirts made by one of our members.

As always...I‘m late to the game. I started this one yesterday and haven‘t been able to put it down, I can‘t wait to see where it goes.

Love it

The narration was wonderful. However, I hated the characters I couldn't find a redeeming quality in them except for the little boy.

Well written, fast paced page-turner. Twisted, intriguing with a WTH ending.

This quote came out of the blue, but cracked me up.

Yes! I‘ve been waiting to get a hand on a copy of this one for sometime now!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was perfectly creepy and unsettling!

I did not see the twist coming in this book. It was a great surprise that left me questioning everything I had just read.

I loved the ending. Definitely a lot of interpretation for the reader!

I love books with unreliable narrators but like this went beyond that.

I‘m questioning if the narrator is unreliable, if ALL the characters are unreliable, if my own understanding of this book is unreliable!

😱🤯

You just have to read it for yourself to even understand what I‘m saying to you.

I have mixed feelings about Colleen Hoover's Verity, some of them, I'm sure, due to the fact that it's been SO hyped all over social media. This is a novel that bridges genres--it's a romantic suspense thriller with a book-within-a-book (love that structure!). Hoover's writing is solid, and the protagonist and her romantic interest are appealingly flawed. ⠀
⠀
Verity definitely gave me vibes similar to Daphne du Maurier's fabulous ⬇️

I know I'm late to the party, but I wasn't going to read this book. It had been hyped up and talked about excessively in Facebook groups. I was afraid folks were just jumping on the bandwagon. I was wrong, this book was jaw dropping good. I read it in one sitting.

So...what did everyone think? I‘m not a prude by any means, but some of the sex scenes, wow. The story is great though, I‘m really enjoying it and it‘s keeping me guessing. #verity #thriller

It‘s been a long time since a book kept me up super late (or early?)! This one did just that! One of those books you just have to keep reading because you must know what happens next.

Can someone explain to me why Verity is in the romance category?? I wanted to vote for it as it was one of my favorite books of 2019 but I couldn‘t vote for it as a romance novel. That book terrified me!

But there is no light where we‘re going. This is your final warning. DARKNESS AHEAD.

One of the few books i picked up solely because of the reviews. Especially the ending & the talks around it piqued my interest. So what do i really think of the book?

Likes:
1. Fast paced
2. Smooth, tight Writing style
3. Interesting characters

Dislikes:
1. One too many Sex scenes
2. Evil for evil's sake.
3. Airhead heroine
4. Not much of a story

Verdict: If you want some insight into a messed up brain & relationships, this book is for you.

Book swap! This was so much fun!

Started reading Verity. Excited... Who else is reading it right now??

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I finished this last night. Read it in a single night because I couldn't put it down!
I'm in such a dazed shock right now. I did NOT see that ending coming.
The entire book, I felt a growing, deep seated hatred for Verity and then those last two chapters threw everything I thought I knew into a complete frenzy of confusion on who the real Verity was.
Such a entrancing read!

Crazy, crazy and I loved it all. 2/20 Trying to catch up on my books #BFCr4 #bookfitnesschalleng @wanderinglynn

People describe this book as being a mind-f***k and totally twisted. Maybe I just read a lot of dark books, but I didn't think this book was nearly as crazy as everyone says it is. It was pretty entertaining, though. It was good enough to keep you engaged as you waited for the wtf moment, that sadly never came. The ending wasn't *quite* what I predicted, so bonus points for not being totally predictable. Not bad, but not great.

I am starting my very first Colleen Hoover book.

Mind blowing!!! 🤯 This is the best book I‘ve read all year!

😳 Very dark. Very intense. One heck of a beautifully written domestic thriller. Just read it in one sitting. My brain wants to explode and i need to discuss this with someone!

Almost finished...holy moly what a ride this is.

Holy hangover. That is the only way to describe this book. I‘ve never read anything by this author before, as her books are not my preferred genre. I can only hope that she writes more thriller and suspense novels in the future. #bookworm #verity #colleenhoover #holyhangover #bookhangover #thesuspenseisthrillingme

A little more than halfway through and really enjoying this one 👏 and I got a new bookmark 🔖📚

Break time, starting verity #thirdshift

I liked this book and it kept my interest, but it wasn‘t as great as I expected it to be. The ending felt rushed and a lot of stuff was left unresolved. I had some ideas about how it could and it felt a bit anticlimactic to me. I like the way the ending posed a question to get into the readers mind and I enjoyed the characters a lot. I liked this book a lot, I just bought it could have had more to it.

This book had me shook! It's part thriller, part romance. A big deal author is in a vegetative state after a crash, and her husband brings in another author to finish her series. While working on the new books, the main character finds an autobiography manuscript that reveals some dark and sinister foolishness...I couldn't put it down!

if you like psychological suspense....check this one out!
