“Verity” tells the story of Lowen, a struggling author who lands the job offer of a lifetime when she is contracted to finish a book series started by well-known author Verity Crawford. “Verity” is impossible to put down in the same way that a car accident is impossible to look away from - readers and onlookers alike feel compelled to keep watching, to see what happens next. However, the book does have some serious technical issues that keep it from being a perfect reading experience. If books could be rated purely for their ability to captivate a reader and keep their eyes glued to the page - or, in this case, the screen - then “Verity” would definitely be a five-star read. “Verity” is marketed as a “romantic thriller” and is a serious change of pace for Hoover, who made her name writing “emotional love stories,” as she describes them in her author’s note at the end of “Verity.” The book has garnered over three thousand five-star reviews since its release and was an Amazon Top 100 Bestseller in 2019, but perhaps most interesting is its genre classification.

Written by New York Times best-selling author, Colleen Hoover, “Verity” is one of over one million ebooks available for free to Kindle Unlimited subscribers.
