Recensioni dei clienti
Verity is an exceptional novel
Verity is an exceptional novel—arguably one of the most compelling psychological thrillers I’ve ever read. What sets it apart is the disturbingly detailed portrayal of the human psyche, especially that of a woman whose love spirals into obsession, delusion, and complete moral collapse. I was genuinely shaken by how deeply Verity loves Jeremy—not with warmth or tenderness, but with an all-consuming intensity that blinds her to right and wrong. Her so-called “love” becomes a twisted force that strips her of her humanity.
The passages from her autobiography are some of the darkest I’ve ever encountered in fiction. There is no maternal affection in her—no pride in her role as a mother, no trace of love for her children. Every ounce of emotional energy is devoted to Jeremy, and the children exist merely as obstacles to her idealized relationship with him. I felt profound sadness for those two innocent kids—especially Harper, whose tragic death Verity witnessed with a chilling detachment. There were moments I had to physically put the book down, overwhelmed by the disturbing monologue of a woman who is selfish, manipulative, and consumed by a pathological need for control.
What’s more striking is that none of the main characters in the book are truly likable. Each one is self-serving in their own way, and the relationships are built on layers of lies, obsession, and moral ambiguity. It challenges the reader to question what love really is—because what’s portrayed here certainly isn’t love in its healthy form.
The ending delivers a powerful twist—Verity claims everything in her manuscript was fiction, a writing exercise, not a confession. This final reversal throws the entire story into doubt, forcing the reader to re-evaluate everything they thought they knew. I personally enjoy endings with a twist, and this one left me unsettled in the best way. It lingers.
Overall, Verity is a haunting, intense, and emotionally complex read. It’s not an easy book—it makes you uncomfortable, it challenges your perceptions—but that’s what makes it worth recommending.
