PUBLISHER’S DESCRIPTION
“Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.
Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity’s notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn’t expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity’s recollection of what really happened the day her daughter died.
Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already grieving father. But as Lowen’s feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife’s words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue to love her.”
✅ REVIEW
Suspensefully addictive and entertaining. This thriller will keep you guessing until the end.
Lowen Ashleigh is hired to complete a book series for popular author Verity Crawford who cannot continue writing due to a life-changing injury. She temporarily stays into the Crawfords’ home to research Verity’s notes and files. What Lowen does not expect is to find a hidden manuscript revealing terrifying secrets.
This story is a departure from Hoover’s previous books. Instead of mesmerizing romance we find horror, intrigue, and suspense. I thoroughly enjoyed the novel and hope she continues exploring this genre.
Overall, I loved it and recommend it to readers of thrillers, mysteries and contemporary fiction.
✅ BOOK SOURCE AND FORMAT
Amazon, kindle ebook
Excellent, Carol! Glad to see another positive review.
Jonetta, Colleen Hoover is one of my favorite writers so I had to read this one ❤️❤️❤️
Great review Carol, but I am not a lover of horror. I think I will start with one of her other books.
