The single mother of Elijah (now grown) lives near the beach in Ventura, California, where she is currently writing her memoir (and what a wild ride it has been!), working on more stories, and still gazing up in wonder at starry nights.

Oh my, Verity was such a thrilling read!! I am so pleased I strayed from my usual genre to read it on recommendation - no matter what you usually read, this expertly crafted piece needs to be on your TBR list - at the top!

[Morgan Isaacs · Rating 1 out of 5]

After reading this, I’m certain that Colleen Hoover hates women.

[Jordan · Rating 1 out of 5]

Only read too late so far: Meh not my sort of book. Main character only used her head once and the guy was so dumb and naïve for someone who should be trained

[Phil Summerlin · Rating 4 out of 5]

'Verity' is a cracking read and I would throughly recommend it, but sadly 'Too Late' is spoiled by an extended and unnecessary ending, which borders on the ridiculous.

[Monica McNeill · Rating 4 out of 5]

Edge of seat

Both books definitely kept me on the edge of my seat and I definitely couldn't put them down! Both habe pretty dark themes, verity more so than too late and I couldn't stop reading until I knew the outcomes of both.

Review:
This was such a different side of Colleen Hoover… and honestly? I didn’t expect to enjoy it this much 👀🔪

I’m used to her emotional romance, but here she goes darker — more twisted, more unsettling, and way more unpredictable. The stories rely heavily on tension and plot twists, and even when you think you know what’s coming… she still finds a way to surprise you.

Some books stood out more than others, but overall the vibe is consistent: messy characters, morally gray decisions, and that constant feeling that something is off.

What I liked the most is how addictive it is. You don’t read these books slowly — you devour them. Fast-paced, dramatic, and a little disturbing at times 😭

Overall: not her strongest genre compared to romance, but still very engaging — perfect if you want something darker with that CoHo emotional edge 💫

Gripped!!!

This story had me on edge the whole way through, I struggled to put it down!! I love the ending, but the whole story was unpredictable which is what had me hooked...never knowing what was going to happen next. I just wanted Sloan to catch her break but whenever she did Asa dragged her back down!! Fantastic read!!

[Alexandra Clark · Rating 5 out of 5]

Both exceptional reads

I wish Spleen Hoover would author more books like these! Easily her best work that I have read.
Verity I have read a few times and still love, so disappointed in the film!!
Too Late I possibly wouldn't have read had it not been in this collection but I am so glad I did now.

[lina · Rating 2 out of 5]

Read both. I originally wanted to read verity but was happy to get the set as I heard alot about the writer however I did not enjoy Too late as much it was too lengthy for no reason but I did enjoy the ending more then verity ending. Verity was amazing I couldn't put it down and there was so much happening with every page I was reading.loved it.

[Anna Restieaux · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read Verity and felt it was very underwhelming! I thought there was going to be a bit more of a suspense but it never came. I almost read over the plot twist…as it didn’t feel like a massive twist.

[Emma Bundgaard · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow wow wow bare wow! Et miljø!

[Emma Donaghy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved both books, easiest way to describe them would be an emotional rollercoaster

[Xena Tibi · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Antonia RN · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Chelsea Woodruff · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was hard to put down! Glad I read it before the movie comes out in the fall. Despite how good I found the book it was extremely hard to read postpartum…
