Keep writing non romance. I never would have tried your books but I Loved this one!! Great characters and story line.

This is the first thriller I have read and I could not put it down. I was looking for a new genre to read and I have seen other books by this author but did not want to read a romance book. The way she lays out the story and pulls you in is unbelievable. This book is movie bound, clever and full of twists and turns.

This book has been one of the few that actually make me physically react to them. The shocking moments, the intimate moments to the very sad and heart wrenching moments. I couldn’t put it down. And it’s been weeks and I’m still thinking about this book. Im starting to think about reading it again because the ending really makes you really question the characters that you thought you were certain you had figured out. Absolutely loved this 💕

Loved it !

Read it within a few hours. Could not put down. Won’t regret this read.

loved this book

Got me back into reading!!

This book was so well written. I couldn’t put this book down. It was mysterious and intriguing. It was exciting and kept me on my toes wanting to read more. And what a twist!

The most twisted book I have read so far. It's very good with some spice.

Well written and such a ride!

I’m still in a daze. Read in a few days because I couldn’t put it down

Really good book! Couldn’t stop reading once started.

could not put this down and read the whole thing in a day. what a ride.

Without giving any spoilers, what a great twist at the end. It was wonderfully written. All I can say is, it’s a book I’m sure I will re-read.

Love the suspense. The twists.

Actually enjoyed the book a lot.

Amazing!!!

Slow start but man, once you get into the thick of it! I could not put the book down!

This book was great and super hard to put down! I was not expecting so many things that happened!! Sat on the edge of my seat pretty often! I’m sad I finished it!

Very Well-written page-turner.

I loved this book and couldn’t put it down! My mind is still racing and it’s been days since I finished it. Great plot twist!

The book was a cool read with unending plot twists with the book ending way more different than I expected it to.

SO GOOD!!

I was completely captured from this book from beginning to end. Unfortunately the ending for me was so lackluster and disappointing. I had this book recommended to me by a couple friends and when I brought up my complaints they said, “yeah the ending isn’t great but didn’t you like the rest?” I’ll just leave that here.

I can’t finish this book! First review I have ever left. It was so upsetting. Can’t imagine anyone having such ideas…more less writing about them. Very upset I spent money and supported this nonsense. Thought I would spare someone the time and money!

Dang. That was good. Read it straight through in one day b/c I didn’t want to stop. Thrilling ride from beginning to end!

This is the first book I read from Colleen. It was so good! I could not put it down! I hope to read it again one day!! You won’t be disappointed.

What a trip! I devoured it! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us. Can’t wait for your next one!

soo good, messes with your head in the best way possible!

This is the first book that I have read from this author the book kept me on my toes, but I think I was also expecting something more climactic. Great book overall!

Too much sex. Story was strong enough without it

I absolutely love this book! Wish I could read it again for the first time !!!

Omg, this is my favorite Colleen Hoover book to date! The twists and turns are unbelievable. I gasped at every chapter and this book filled me with tears.

Crazy good and totally strange. A quick read, but a super cool concept. Loved it.

I read this in a day!! This book got me out of a reading slump. I couldn't put it down!

This book was amazing. It was so twisted and kept me on edge. I hated Verity throughout the book, only to change my mind about her in a split second. I truly enjoyed all of the characters. Looking forward to another read!

I truly can’t believe this book is popular, I think it’s one of the worst ones I’ve ever read. Sad, bizarre and creepy, and then in the end there’s supposed to be a simple explanation to all of it (I mean, reader’s choice what to believe)?! We are supposed to believe that someone can fake being brain dead for months and fool professional nurses?

Amazing book! Kept me on my toes! 10/10 recommend; worth the read for sure

Best book I have read in years. Once you start reading you can’t set it down. Truly a book that leaves you speechless and your brain thinking for days.

Definitely was gripping and had me not want to put it down several times

I read this in 12 hours. I couldn’t put it down.

It’s not what I was expecting. Do yourself a favor and read it. I was on edge the whole book. Oh and there bonus chapters!!

I can’t believe what i just read, my blood rush when I read the envelope of Verity. I though the story was going to end so differently, like verity was actually crazy or that Jeremy did all of this on purpose. I have to admit that I don´t read frequently if it isn’t a school book, not even that. This is the first book I have ever read in my entire life, I feel ashamed admitting this to the people who might read this review. I couldn’t put this book down, in class I sneak my computer out so i could read it because I was so intrigued what will happened next, I finished in 3 sittings being realistic. I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK.

Very good book!!! The ending will have you still trying to put together the pieces. Did she or did she not?? Couldn’t put this one down.

I think this is a book that was extremely well written. For me personally, it left me thinking a lot. This book is extremely disturbing, but if you can handle it then I would suggest reading it. I gave it 3 stars because of the aftertaste it left which I hate, but I also appreciate that Colleen Hoover is a mastermind. She accomplished her goal with this book and it is worth reading, but only with caution.

This book had me on the edge of my seat constantly! I never knew what to expect next and I never wanted to put the book down! The ending was very unexpected. Though the last chapter was kind of boring, I still really liked how it ended.

The ending shocked me but overall GREAT book! I dived right in ❤️😫 you did it again Colleen.

Great read.. it captivated me and I literally couldn’t put it down and finished in 1 day.. The plot will keep you guessing til the end.. and when you think you know you don’t! Enjoy

I COULDNT STOP READING. Every chance I got I read this! These books are getting me through being away from home and having little to no service

Hands down my favorite author!!! I’ve read most of her books and just completed her series with Hope. This is definitely a different approach in comparison to her other novels (the ones I’ve read) but she didn’t disappoint. My attention was captured from the beginning and I was on edge all the way to the end!!! C.Hoover always delivers and I love love love it!!!!

I could not put this book down. This is the first book I’ve ever read by Colleen Hoover, but it certainly won’t be my last. Although some details triggering and difficult to read, I still found that the book was gripping and had me turning page after page into the night hours. Who needs sleep?!

Mindblowing. Really liked this book. Another one from Colleen Hoover that got my heart.

Could not put this book down for one second.

I finished this intense thriller in a matter of hours, I could not put this book down! Every plot twist had it’s own plot twist, I never could have guessed the ending to this story! What a great read, highly recommended!

it’s a perfect balance of mystery, romance, and suspense! With an added plot twist at the end! One of the best books I’ve read!

By far my favourite Colleen Hoover read. Thriller romance novel that far exceeded my expectations. I wish I could reread this like the first read.

Minimal character development, maximum sexual act description, with a creative twist at the end. I skimmed through it…

AMAZING!!!!! CAPTIVATING!!! I couldn’t stop reading to find out what happened next!!!!

What a great twist at the end really enjoyed reading this book.

WOW just wow - absolutely speechless

Really liked the twists and turns. The sex scenes seemed melded into the story and not extraneous.

Very good read… finished it I’m a day

Mediocre writing. Interesting character details that end up nowhere. Boring and shallow romance. Predictable plot twist. Rushed ending with an awkward sounding letter. And, again, mediocre writing. I was excited to read this book because of all the hype, and there were parts (So Be It chapters) that had me pretty disturbed (probably because I have a baby), but the ending just left me feeling blah.

the author evokes some strong feelings , but left me with ones I don't enjoy. I can see this being a very divisive book. Interesting and compelling, but ...the last bite of this book doesn't take good! I admire the author for doing it though and still enjoyed the walk there

That twist… oh my good god that twist. Read this book

WOW best read ever. L

I quite literally didn't put this book down. I completed it in less than 4 days after not reading for years. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to get back into reading. The mix of thriller and romance are perfect. This book will leave you thinking about the ending for weeks!

Binge worthy reading. Definitely a suspenseful thriller. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book so well done.

I paid for the entire novel but I only got 26 pages and it says finished?

Read this book in one sitting. Brilliant.

Great Suspense, but i didn't like the ending, I want to know the answers!!

Intense, suspenseful, even scary to me. I was captivated! One of those books where you just can’t set it down until you’re finished. Amazing work!

I loved the plot twist and everything on the way towards it.

I could not put this book down, It gripped my attention till the last page. I found parts of the book dragged on a little, as it felt like she was rambling on. Despite that, this was one of the most intense books that I’ve read in a long time. I felt disturbed at what I was reading, yet I couldn’t stop.

This book was one of the best I read, had me on my toes the whole time and the ending kept me spinning over and over

Great summer read. Suspenseful! I read it in 2 days!

It was meh. I thought there would be a big twist, I even thought up some that it could be the whole way excited to see what would happen but nope it had no twist, basically told you what would happen as you read it. Even the sex talk was blah. Honestly expected better from the other reviews.

This book almost had me crying and covering my eyes at some points, but I couldn’t put it down. Literally couldn’t go to sleep till I finished it. Have it 4 stars but more like a 4.5. Didn’t love the ending and some of it was almost too disturbing, but it’s also what makes it so good at the same time. Definitely recommend!

As an introduction to Colleen Hoover, I was awestruck by the mastery of her craft: thrillers A writer writing about two writers from all perspectives leaving the reader wanting to figure out what was the truth. I’m not sure I did.

Loved the book, always had me captivated and wanted to read more!

I had a completely different impression from the reviews and the description. Very disappointed. Waste of time.

The ending was quite unexpected, worth reading.

Coming from a girl who hasn’t finished a full book in years…. this book kept me wanting more! So good, so thrilling!

My first COHO read and definitely did not disappoint!! This is more of a domestic & psychological thriller so it checked off everything for me at least. It’s got some hot and heavy descriptive moments but it was the perfect touch.

I loved It ends with us and November 9, I was so excited for a thriller because of the reviews but this book was boring to me, I was expecting to be up all night but it was disappointing.

Couldn’t put it down.

Although this book captivated me right from the beginning , I really hated it! I found so much of it sickening and disturbing and the ending was ridiculous!

Love this book! I like that by the end you can make your own thoughts and interpretation!

Absolute page turner, I couldn’t put it down. However, after I finished it I had extreme anxiety and it kept me awake for 4 hours. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone who struggles with mental health issues as there is a few triggering events. This may be a spoil but it’s worth mentioning that there is child abuse/neglect mentioned that made me physically ill. Such a change from Colleens usual writing & I’m here for it!

Book was so amazing. I could not put it down. I will tell you that there is a trigger warning in the book.

Couldn’t put it down.

Honestly .. mind blowing. It was one of the best books with amazing writing that kept me at the edge of my seat till the end. It was a treat to read.

Great book.Highly recommend!

This novel was amazing start to finish. Couldn’t put it down.

I’m exhausted but I couldn’t put this book down. Bravo, absolutely captivating. 💕

Absolutely blew me away!

Read the entire thing in one sitting, absolutely loved it. Kept me intrigued the whole time. 10/10.

I love Colleen, I’ve read almost every single one of her books. She never fails to have me on my feet! This was different to what she usually does and from what I usually read and I LOVED every second of it!!

Grabbed me from the start and I ate it up in two sittings-it’s really good

I really enjoyed this writing style from Colleen Hoover. Very well done!

so good

Very good thriller with awesome sexual fantasy sprinkled in. Reviews calling this smut need their vaginas licked.

Kind of slow start, but I read so many mixed reviews from a Facebook group that I had to see for myself. I really loved it. So many twists and turns. And the ending was great! Leaving just enough for your imagination to run wild.

One of the best books I’ve ever read!!! I could not put the book down finished it in a day

Brooooooo, I am absolutely speechless right now. I’m not going to lie, it dragged the first 4 chapters but WOW, chapters 5 till the end had me shook. I literally have no words for the ending. My only disappointment is that I wish I read this book first compared to the romance ones. This was way more entertaining. 🫣

I though where this book was going but at the end I definitely didnt 🥲 it was so unexpected the plot was amazing.

This book was the one that brought me back into reading. Disturbing/thriller/smut all in one.

I read this book in less than 24 hours. It’s incredible and will be remembered by readers. Thank you to the author for a wonderful read 🙏 incredible

This book is a great read. Romantic thriller & mystery. I couldn’t stop reading it and had to finish it in one sitting! Definitely recommend.

I loved this book! The plot , the characters , the background , the love story and everything in it! The only thing the made it a 4 instead of a 5 is the ending. I’m not gonna give spoilers and I don’t mean I didn’t like the ending , I loved it! BUT IT WAS SOOOO UNEXPECTED! Like I’m gonna have to have therapy because of what this book did to me 😭

Kept you guessing until the very end

Definitely a little intense… great book. The ending just didn’t set right for me. Author is amazingly talented!

Very fast moving and racy. This book is a great summer beach read. Wondering if those offended by the sex scenes continued reading 😂. This book certainly made it difficult to focus on other tasks until I finished it.

The whole plot and twisted end left me very impressed.

Amazing!! Literally couldn’t put it down. It was just THAT good.

This is the most horrendous book I ever read. It’s so repetitive to a point I’m so sick of thinking about sex and blow jobs. This book is a written porn novel than a suspenseful story. And it’s disgusting and disturbing that the main character wants to badly redo sexual acts with a married man of a bed-ridden woman after she read the wife’s manuscript. And does nobody find it comically hilarious how much the author mentions the teeth biting on the headboard??? Is the main character and Verity a beaver? What is going on?? Also not to mention the internalized misogyny is loud. I wish I could bleach my eyes or wipe my memories how terrible this book was to read.

^

Amazing book. I couldn’t put it down once I started. Left me wanting to read more!

Great twisted story, leaving you doubting it all.

So many things happened in this book that made me want to stop reading then and there but i couldn’t stop so i read the whole book in 8 hours

The plot was good but the actual writing leans a bit too raunchy for my liking. I told someone at work I was reading this book after only reading the first chapter (not someone I work with all the time but in the company) and I am now so incredibly embarrassed. Call me a prude but the way it was written seriously had me cringing. I even shared some of the book with my boyfriend and he said if it were him that brought up the book that he would hunt who he told down just to tell them nevermind. I mean, if that’s the kind of stuff you want to read, do you, I just feel like I didn’t get a fair warning so I’m giving it now.

Read it in a day! Loved it.

Ducking amazing

This book did have its “twists” but very predictable. Too short. Ending was very lackluster.

I could reread this book 100x over!

Loved it!

Literally hooked from the first page. I read chapters 6- till the end in one night, didn’t sleep from the suspense and curiosity of what is next. I new I loved me some Ms. Colleen! Amazing!! Thank you for your amazing stories!

Keeps you guessing and wanting to know what happens next. I could not put it down!

This book had me hooked!! I read it in less than a week!!

The plot twist this book sent my heart through!!! I couldn’t take it! This book kept me on the edge of my seat to the very end. It was suspenseful, romantic, sensual, at times funny but im telling you, get ready for the surprise of your life!!!!

honestly this book was so goooooood! I couldn’t stop reading it

I got this book cause it was on sale and WOW! I was hanging on every chapter! Highly recommend

Unfortunately, as much as I love to read, this was one of the worst books I’ve ever read! Full of twists and turns going nowhere. I am still unsure what happened in the end. In fact, I didn’t realize the story ended! Sorry, better luck in the future!

This story grabs you from the beginning and doesn’t let go…even at the end. Edge of your seat all the way through!

I loved these book! I read half of it in one day. I gave it to a friend to read so we can talk about it together!

I read this book in 12 hrs. There’s so much suspense, mixed with steamy scenes. This is like the perfect genre for me and very rare to come by! The themes reminded me very much of The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. I would give it 5 stars but I feel like the climax could have been drawn out more. I feel like once the climax hit, it was immediately over and then we went straight into plot twists. Without giving away spoilers, I would have loved to see more of a physical struggle with more dialogue included before the crescendo. But over all great read!

So good.

The book itself was very creepy, the content is dark, and I wouldn’t recommend it at night. But the way Hoover writes gets me every time it’s a guilty pleasure

The plot is filled with twists and the ending has left me speechless

When everyone else was saying they couldn’t put the book down I was doubting them. Then I started reading and wow. Could not put it down. Such a thrilling story.

Literally read it in 2 days. Pulled all-nighters to see what would happen next and each page kept pulling me in! Very much worth the time and the read.
