Publisher's Summary

A number-one best seller in several categories with over 14,000 five-star ratings on Goodreads.

From the number-one New York Times best-selling and award-winning author Colleen Hoover comes "A stand-alone romantic thriller that is tragic, creepy, and brilliant!" (Mel Reader Reviews)

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 best-selling 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 to love her.

Sexy. Twisted. Consuming.

Due to graphic scenes and mature content, this book is recommended for listeners 18+.

Editorial Review

An all-consuming romantic thriller that will leave you guessing, gasping, and utterly engrossed, Verity tests the bounds of what humans are capable of and brings to light just how dark those limits can be.

New York Times best-selling author Colleen Hoover delivers a richly layered, utterly engrossing story with Verity. An expert at romance novels, Hoover infuses this tale with twist after plot twist for a dark psychological thriller combined with a hot and spicy love story. When famous author Verity Crawford is badly injured, her husband Jeremy Crawford hires Lowen Ashleigh to continue the author’s work. Lowen is elated at this offer of a dream job, but as soon as she begins searching through Verity’s notes, she finds herself in the middle of a nightmare. What she discovers is chilling, but her burgeoning connection with Jeremy is anything but, and she still has a series of books to complete.

Verity takes a striking step beyond standard romance fare, shocking listeners with its bold humanity and chilling side. Listeners will struggle to hit pause, spending every moment aching to know what happens next, before diving back into this story, as full of love as deception, lust, and betrayal.

This standalone audiobook is as devastatingly dark as it is addictive, and as sexy as it is suspenseful. Narrators Vanessa Johansson and Amy Landon offer their fittingly dramatic and electrifying voices to this unpausable thriller. Landon has narrated more than 300 titles and podcasts, while Johansson carries over 60, and both have won awards for their work. Together they bring just the right level of tension and emotion to their nuanced and engaging performance of Verity.

Meh

Lots of hype and positive reviews so was hoping for more - the suspense is minimal and the storyline is slow to develop.

Good story

The overall story was pretty good but some parts were really disturbing. I struggled with the reading of the autobiography parts like other listeners have noted. I'm glad it was a free book and I didn't waste a credit on it.

What just happened

I’m sitting here thinking about the ending and feel slighted. I wish there was more to it and that it was a bigger twist.

Great Story, Strange Narration

The story was engaging and fast paced. I loved the characters and everything from beginning to end, really. I guess that's why I continued listening, despite the Narrator (the one reading Verity's POV) sounding like an automated voice message from a customer service line that never reaches an actual human.
Still worth the listen, but might be better to read with your own eyeballs instead.

it was alright, worth a listen

I only rated this three stars because I thought it was predictable. I'm not sure it lived up to all the hype. I would suggest listening to it but don't have high expectations...

Great until the end

Performance was great, and story was quite good until the end. No spoilers, but I wish the author didn’t backtrack as it kind ruined the story for me. Still overall a pretty good read.

Wow !

J'ai vraiment adoré cette histoire. Le mystère qui règne tout au long du roman et le punch final était tout simplement incroyable. Fortement recommandé ! Avant d'écouter ou lire ce roman, regarder les avertissements (trigger warning) et tenir compte que le récit est noté 18+...
