"I don't even really know where to start with this one. I will say this. Any author that can branch out from her normal genre of romance and write something like this and make it work, well not only make it work but make it one of her best written novels, says tremendous things about them. This book says so much about Hoover's talent and brilliance as a writer. Cue all the new readers!
Guys, I won't lie. I got truly creeped out at times with this one. The way this book was written truly brought out a side of Hoover I never thought possible. I don't know how many times I asked myself if she was possessed while writing this one.
The POV of this book was interesting. I thought going in you would see things from Verity's POV but like most of this book my theory was thrown out the window as soon as I started. But it worked. It was beyond fascinating seeing Verity from the POV we did and written any other way I don't think this book would have been what it is and that would have been disappointing.
Throw all your theories out the window right now. At times some things were predictable but the plot twists and that ending came out of nowhere and in such a delectable way. Just sit back and be prepared for your heart to race and your mind to run with possibilities.
Bravo Hoover. I only hope we get to see more of this side of you in the future."

Bravo Hoover. I only hope we get to see more of this side of you in the future. - Well, well, well... Mrs. Hoover is taking a dive into the dark side. I cannot say I am disappointed. If you follow my reviews, you know I prefer the dark and twisted books. They are my happy place.
I had no clue what this book was about when I started it. I rarely read a book's synopsis, but I never read them for Hoover's books. Judging by the cover, I assumed it was going to be a darker story, I just didn't have a clue of what I was getting into.
This haunting, disturbing tale left me feeling bereft. Of what, I am not sure. I just felt unsettled. A little unsure of my own sanity. And maybe a little unsettled over Hoover's sanity too.
This book is not a typical book for Colleen. The characters and their actions are nothing like she has written before. For her to have switched gears in such a dramatic way, and yet still get inside these characters heads in such a realistic way shows just how talented of a writer she is. Not that we didn't already know that. This book just further proves it.
I always say not every book is for every person. Not all of Colleen's books have been for me. However, this one definitely was. And it may not be one for everyone who is a devoted fan of hers. Just know that there is not one bit of unicorns or rainbows in this book. - I don't know how to write a review for this book. I'm underwhelmed and feeling blank.
I have never liked one of this author's books, sappy romance isn't my thing, so I haven't read anything by her in years. But when I saw Tarryn Fisher had promoted it and called it dark and twisty, I was exited. I enjoy a dark and twisty book, but I like smart books. Hitchcock is a favorite of mine.
This is not quite that. And leaving the ending open, felt rushed.
Sort of like she got down to the wire, and didn't have time to finish it. Or she wrote the book without knowing what the ending would be.
I know she has a large fan club who always leave her glowing reviews, but if you are looking for a review from someone who loves this specific genre and doesn't leave fan reviews, read the Sugar and Spice review. It's a very honest three star review. I had seen it, I discounted it. I wish I hadn't. I'm finished the book and left with a meh taste in my mouth. Underwhelmed for the cost. I might have paid 0.99 for the book had I listened to the three star and less reviews. But I paid full price and it just wasn't worth it. I had to force myself to finish after the halfway mark.
Great idea for a novel, but maybe better written by someone who enjoys the genre more. I hate to say stay in your lane to anyone, but clearly she has a large crowd of adoring fans for a reason. Perhaps romance is better for her. - ** THIS REVIEW IS FULL OF SPOILERS **
1 1/2 TO 2 stars for premise and So Be It. Other than that, this book is a mess. There are so many holes in this.

A mystery/thriller is only as good as the crumbs it leaves behind and this has almost no crumbs at all. We are simply told "this is what happened" and then it ends with "or is it". Literally ends with "or is it", like some campfire ghost story.
I have lots of questions.
1. The meeting - Was Jeremy faking no knowing her the first time they met? He says later in the book that he had read her book and that's why he recommended her. Wouldn't he have more research than that? I know I'd have asked for a picture and bio from the publishers.
2. Verity's mental capacity - The doctors say that she has the mind of a child. That is proven with an EEG. If she really has the mental capacity of a child, then how does she carry out such an elaborate plan? Also, people have natural survival reflexes. How does Verity avoid even the slightest flinch for so long?
3. The Nurse - Verity admits to leaving the bed to search the house for the manuscript while Jeremy is out. This means the nurse was on watch and she didn't catch Verity? Was she in on Verity's scheme?
4. The romance(?) - When did Lowen and Jeremy fall in love? Seriously, she was there for a total of 2 minutes and then bam, a few awkward conversations later she's pregnant and they're in love. What? (insert Jackie Chan meme here)
5. The checking account - Verity opened a checking account online. What address and name did she use for her account? You have to provide those for verification purposes. Banks are very strict about that stuff. If she provided her real name, the police would be able to track her. There is no " I'll call you someday and I'll tell you where to find this letter."
6. Verity's end - Jeremy murders Verity after finding out the truth. Many things wrong with it that are obvious if you've watched even a few hours of 48 Hours. An investigation would take place. There would be signs of struggle which would come off as strange considering the woman can't move. Also, wouldn't it be odd that the writer's husband is having a baby with writer's replacement almost exactly 9 months after Verity's "accidental death"?
7. The kid - Crew is put into therapy. Wouldn't he spill the beans about his mom pretending to be her semi coma? He kept spilling the beans about it to Lowen and Jeremy, so why wouldn't he have told the police (he would have been questioned during the investigation) or his therapist?
8. 9. The Jeremy theory - He planted everything for Lowen to find and it all just conveniently worked out in his favor (including how police handle deaths) and that she magically did everything he wanted her to do so that he can live happily ever after. The theory only works if you're willing to question nothing and accept everything no matter how little sense it actually makes.
