Coleen Hoover's "Verity" is a novel that divided the reading community when it came out. And it still continues to mystify, astound and even disgust people in equal measures.

It's a book that mindfucks you... it's twisted, perverted and equally engages you in the story. As a mother, and a single parent, things in Verity made me uncomfortable on levels that I didn't even knew I had emotionally.

It's a book for all thrill seekers and enthusiasts of twisted thrillers... it's an EXPERIENCE.
