About this listen

A number-one best seller in several categories with over 14,000 five-star ratings on Goodreads.

From the number-one New York Times best-selling and award-winning author Colleen Hoover comes "A stand-alone romantic thriller that is tragic, creepy, and brilliant!" (Mel Reader Reviews)

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 best-selling 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 the night their family was forever altered.

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.

Sexy. Twisted. Consuming.

Due to graphic scenes and mature content, this book is recommended for listeners 18+.

Editorial Review

An all-consuming romantic thriller that will leave you guessing, gasping, and utterly engrossed, Verity tests the bounds of what humans are capable of and brings to light just how dark those limits can be.

New York Times best-selling author Colleen Hoover delivers a richly layered, utterly engrossing story with Verity. An expert at romance novels, Hoover infuses this tale with twist after plot twist for a dark psychological thriller combined with a hot and spicy love story. When famous author Verity Crawford is badly injured, her husband Jeremy Crawford hires Lowen Ashleigh to continue the author’s work. Lowen is elated at this offer of a dream job, but as soon as she begins searching through Verity’s notes, she finds herself in the middle of a nightmare. What she discovers is chilling, but her burgeoning connection with Jeremy is anything but, and she still has a series of books to complete.

Verity takes a striking step beyond standard romance fare, shocking listeners with its bold humanity and chilling side. Listeners will struggle to hit pause, spending every moment aching to know what happens next, before diving back into this story, as full of love as deception, lust, and betrayal.

This standalone audiobook is as devastatingly dark as it is addictive, and as sexy as it is suspenseful. Narrators Vanessa Johansson and Amy Landon offer their fittingly dramatic and electrifying voices to this unpausable thriller. Landon has narrated more than 300 titles and podcasts, while Johansson carries over 60, and both have won awards for their work. Together they bring just the right level of tension and emotion to their nuanced and engaging performance of Verity.

Great book - HORRIBLE narration

I read this book a few months ago and couldn't put it down. It's a fantastic read - well written, easy to follow and suspenseful right until the very last line. I never pick up thrillers but this was recommended to me and I'm so glad it was! I saw that the audiobook for Verity was released today so I figured I'd give it a listen while I work away on some boring data entry. I'm not sure which narrator is which but one is much more enjoyable to listen to than the other. The first narrator who narrates the protagonist, Lowen, along with all other character with the exception of Verity was fine to listen to. She isn't the most organic narrator but I wouldn't refuse to listen to more of her work. The second author, however, who narrates Verity's manuscript is the worst narrator I've ever listened to! She sounds like you're listening to Siri read a book to you. It's painstakingly annoying. She has almost no inflection whatsoever and sounds like her parts were sped up. When I slowed her parts down a bit it was slightly more palatable but just barely. It is very disappointing that such a great book is this annoying to listen to.

Pick up the book to read - you won't be disappointed. Please don't judge the book on this narration!

Kept me Hooked!

I liked it the whole way through. I felt creeped out, and I think it’s a good sign when a book can do that. The ending left me wanting more, but I ended up reading the epilogue off of Audible, and that satisfied me!! I think if I didn’t read the epilogue, I would have rated it lower. Do listen and do read the epilogue! You won’t be sorry. It’s worth the credit for sure.

I wish I didn’t spend a credit on this

The story itself is amazing, but the first narrator is so unappealing. I had to stop 5 minutes in because I couldn’t stomach the forceful, unnatural narrative. It’s monotonous and aggressive, it almost makes me feel like I’m back at a lecture. I think I’ll pick up a book this time around- I’ve heard too many good things about Verity to give it up, let alone ruin the experience.

Not a Typical Colleen Hoover Novel

I appreciate the Colleen Hoover trying to pivot in a different direction but I found this novel to be graphic and unsettling. The concept is strong and the start was interesting but it went off the rails.
