Book Review - Verity

By -Illusion-_

Plot Overview
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 recognizes 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 .

Opinions
The book overall is spine chilling. Especially the last part when Lowen finds the letter Verity had written just before her death. After completing the letter my head was spinning.

The mystery/suspense elements in the story were excellent. In the end, the reader has to answer the question of whether to believe Verity's autobiography or her letters.

Although, I would say Jeremy didn't quite stick with me. His character was always suspicious.
I would like to add that the intimate scenes in the book were too much. Too steamy. So if you are not in for so many scenes like me, I would suggest you skip those parts.

Overall, the book was nail digging, not easy to put down. I would give a 5 star to this book.
