Edit: The more I sit and think about this book/ this author, the more unsettled I become. It's like something that leaves a bad taste in your mouth that won't quite go away...
Spoiler Wow, this book was fucked up. I suppose that's not so much a spoiler as it is a censor, but I cannot think of another way to describe this wild ride. Going into it, I knew Verity was a thriller, but I didn't know it was also part romance... Was a little spicier than I usually read, but I'm wiling to overlook that because of the layers of deception, creepiness, and manipulation all of the characters use. Wish I could read the ending again for the first time, with all the twists and turns.
