Verity
by Hoover, Colleen
Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer who receives the opportunity of a lifetime when she is hired to finish the book series of an injured, famous author, Verity Crawford. Moving into the Crawford home to sort through Verity's notes, Lowen finds an unfinished autobiography that reveals horrifying, hidden truths about the family. As she grows closer to Verity's husband, Jeremy, she becomes increasingly paranoid about the atmosphere in the house and the authenticity of what she is reading. This is a fast, claustrophobic read that thrives on moral ambiguity and psychological manipulation. It is best suited for readers who enjoy being unsettled, prefer stories where they cannot trust the narrator, and do not mind a darker, more visceral exploration of human cruelty and obsession.
