Okay wow, very slow start that didn’t help with my reading slump. However, about 80% through, the story was finally revealed and OMG. What a heartbreaking story that really reveals what was going on in the first chunk of the book. Teared up at the end, it’s giving thriller Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

Helena’s story was heavy and what happened was downright awful. So many what if’s, but it was too late. The silent odorless killer. Ugh.

🔪 psychological thriller.
— slow-paced, dual timeline, multiple povs

“we all have a happily ever after, each story just needs to pick the right time to claim it.”

i discovered this book when i was in the mood to read thriller and when i was planning to search for a book with the same concept as verity. the story follows helena ross, a successful author, who hires a ghostwriter to help her finish her final book. as secrets from the past unravel, the line between the truth and fiction blurs in this gripping tale.

first of all, this is book is definitely a page-turner. the storyline is really interesting and i loved the writing style. the chapters are also short so it will actually keep you and make you flip the page right away for the next chapter. the element of mystery is amazing and the excitement building in every chapter was out of this world. you really wouldn't take your eyes off of the book once you start reading it. the characters are also good, and i love how the fmc’s point-of-view was written—it was heartbreaking and full of emotions.

however, i think i missed some details because i skipped those long paragraphs which i thought are unnecessary. but overall, it was really a great read.
