"My mother used to say that houses have a soul, and if that is true, the soul of Verity Crawford’s house is as dark as they come."
I've seen both positive and negative reviews about this that I was hesitant to read it at first. With so many popular books out there (especially from Colleen) falling short of my expectations, I was afraid this might end up as another overhyped book that ultimately failed to deliver. After convincing myself for days, I've decided to give it a chance and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made.
This book is full of suspense. Each chapter becomes more sinister as it progresses. At some point, the content was so disturbing that I had to pause my reading to process what I've just read. The complex characters and intricate plot twists constantly kept me guessing and reevaluating my assumptions. The ending is both unexpected and mind-blowing, and will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew.
So far, this is the only book from Colleen that I’ve genuinely enjoyed and finished. If you are a big fan of psychological thrillers and mysteries, this book is an absolute must-read.

Unfortunately, I do better with books where I can attach to at least one character and I couldn’t do that with anyone.
This was a double-twist type story. Loved the first twist. The second one irritated me.
Definitely liked this one better than “It Ends With Us” but I’m thinking this author is just not my style. I’m glad so many people enjoy her. I guess I’m just not one of them, unfortunately.
