Well.. this book consumed me to the point I physically couldn’t put it down. Dark, sinister, twisty, suspenseful, captivating, thought-provoking, addictive, completely jaw-dropping, breathtaking.. the list could go on. Verity had to say the least some pretty fucked up chapters where I literally through the book away from me I was so disgusted. I wanted to claw my eyes out with what I was reading, yet it had me going back for more. It is incredibly well-written but I felt the ending was a bit rushed. I haven’t read anything like Verity before and I have read a few CoHo books but this is definitely different to anything else she has written.

Best book I've read in 2024! I read it while my electric was out due to hurricane milton and finished it in a couple of hours! I absolutely couldn't put it down. I'm usually a romance and mystical reader but wanted to try something new and it really opened me up to a whole new genre. 
The main character is spunky, but not overbearing, smart but not uptight and mainly she is determined to figure out the mystery of this writer she just took on!
