It’s a deliciously creepy, juicy, and horrifying romance thriller with a twist at the end that will leave you shaken to your core. Now, add in that the wife has committed unspeakable acts of evil, along with Lowen’s visions of the wife appearing in a window or camera, alert and awake, and we get something unfathomably thrilling.
Engaging in a romance with a married man whose wife is unresponsive in the room next door is spicy enough on its own. She masterfully takes all of the best elements of her romance novels-passion, lust, tension, heartbreak-and winds them into a shocking psychological thriller. As her own attraction towards Jeremy grows and as she becomes suspicious of Verity’s condition, she struggles with whether to show Jeremy the crushing, life-altering autobiography, or not. However, instead of notes, she finds a chilling autobiography of Verity filled with shocking and terrible secrets. Lowen heads to Jeremy and Verity’s house to go through all of Verity’s notes to begin writing the novels. The book follows writer, Lowen Ashleigh, who has been hired by Jeremy Crawford to ghostwrite the remainder of an unfinished book series that his wife, Verity, had started writing before being severely injured and unable to complete it. Verity was published in 2018 and marked an unusual deviation from Hoover’s typical contemporary romance, into thriller territory. One of them, Hopeless, also became an Amazon Best Seller in 2013, in addition being a #1 New York Times bestseller. Of her books, 11 of them have risen to become New York Times Bestsellers. Her books span YA, New Adult, contemporary romance, and psychological thriller genres. Additionally, she has one more book on the way this year, with It Starts With Us set to release on October 18, 2022. In just 10 years, she has written 22 novels and novellas.
As the book climbed the charts as a bestseller, Hoover quit her job in social work and started writing full-time. However, the book ended up receiving a 5-star review by blogger Maryse Black, after which sales skyrocketed.
Hoover ended up self-publishing it in 2012 just so that her grandmother, who had gotten an Amazon Kindle, could read it on her new tablet. She wrote her first novel, Slammed, in 2011, with no intention of it being published. Colleen Hoover is one of the fastest rising authors in the Young Adult (YA) and New Adult (NA) romance genre.
