A Labyrinth of Lies in Verityįirst of all, I would like to point out that for my personal taste, the story took a little long to get started, with the earlier chapters dedicated largely to character-building and setting descriptions. Slowly but surely, she starts to suspect that perhaps things aren’t as they seem, that perhaps Verity is a truly vile woman, and that maybe, just maybe, the accident which put her in this state wasn’t an accident at all.

On one hand, Lowen finds herself increasingly drawn to Jeremy and wants to share what she knows with him, but on the other hand, she recognizes there might be reason to fear him. However, as she reads further and further, the subject matter becomes darker and darker, containing some troubling revelations about the Crawford family. While trying to sort through Verity’s notes and see where she was going with her story, she finds a manuscript titled “So Be It.” It turns out to be Verity’s own unpublished biography, and though Lowen’s job doesn’t involve doing much reading, she can’t help herself but become absorbed in the woman’s recollection of her storied past. Naturally, she accepts the offer, and goes to live at the large Crawford family home in Vermont. Lowen is to finish the last three books in a series written by Verity, with the pay being seventy-five thousand for each volume.

When she arrives at her publisher’s office, she receives a rather unusual proposition from Jeremy Crawford, husband to Verity, a famous and successful author, now catatonic following a terrible accident. On her way to the literary agent’s office, she sees a man get run over by a truck and is splattered in his blood. Not only did her mother pass away a week ago, but her publisher wants her to start promoting her next book (an idea she cannot stand), due to how badly her previous ones have been doing. The novel begins by introducing us to Lowen, an author with a bit of a bad streak going. I think most of us assume that we are good people and incapable of crossing certain barriers, but as Lowen Ashleigh finds out in Verity by Colleen Hoover, life has such insidious and far-reaching vertices that one might fail to realize they’ve become absorbed in the first place. Nobody knows what they are truly capable of until they are thrust into a situation allowing all of their dormant aspects to express themselves. Colleen Hoover Drops a Mist of Frightening Ambiguity
