A very intriguing and quick story! It caught my interest from the beginning and I was interested to keep reading. I do feel like the build up to the turning point took a while and more action could have happened in the middle. I do also wish that some of the book series that Verity wrote was included to get a sense of how her stories were written to see if her true self was written in her books.

I did have a feeling that Jeremy was involved in Verity’s accident, and I believe the truth is a mix of the manuscript and the letter.

Verity offered a great suspenseful story that left you wondering till the very end. I don't know that we got a final "truth", so to speak, but it was enjoyable. Some themes pertaining to the loss of children and/or parents may be a trigger for some. So be mindful, but the story was great and the final moments were satisfying for what this story was. There were a few things missing from this book for me, perhaps is the resolve at the end where I couldn't find myself giving this a full 5 stars.

This book is fucked up. 
Yes the ending was one hell of a plot twist but I don't know what I think of it. 

At least this book made me understand trigger warnings..

I REALLY loved this book! I don’t typically read anything dark or mysterious, but this was pleasantly surprising. I was glued to this book the entire time and couldn’t set it down. However, I think the sexual content was way over the top, even as a regular romance reader. It kept me from giving this book 5 stars, as well as some parts that didn’t completely make sense, like

Jeremy still allowing Crew to be around Verity while thinking she murdered his daughter.

Otherwise, I loved the suspense of the book and thoroughly enjoyed it!
