Hello everyone, 

Have you ever finished reading a book and thought, WTF did I just read, well Verity is that book.

Verity is a psychological thriller that blurs the lines between fiction and reality creating an illusion that seems real but at the same time, remains an illusion.



Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer who is hired by Jeremy Crawford and Pantem press to complete a book series written by his wife Verity Crawford who happens to be a successful writer. Verity was involved in an accident that led to a brain damage leaving her unable to perform any task including writing.

Lowen arrives at the Crawford home to sort through Verity’s office so she can understand the book series better and be in the right frame of mind to write the remaining books. However, she stumbles upon an autobiography written by Verity that reveals unexpected events about the Crawford’s family.

Verity is a dark and twisted novel, the characters are deeply flawed, every single one of them. There is no protagonist or antagonist, everyone is a victim and at the same time, no one is a victim. There are a lot of things going on in the story and as a reader, it really comes down to your perception of what you believe is right and wrong.

The genres in this book include;

- Mystery

- Suspense

- A bit of horror

- Romance ( there is a lot of sex in this book).

It is written in the first person narrative from Lowen’s point of view.

I gave it a 5 out of 5 stars because reading it was a wild ride. I could not put the book down. This is the second time I am reading it and both times, I read it within 24 hours. If you are looking for an intense and compelling novel, then you should definitely read this one. It will leave you perplexed.

If you have read verity, let me know what you think.

Mayowa is a writer, poet, and storyteller. She goes by the pen name The grey clover. Writing Journey Her writing journey started in secondary school when they all had to take literature classes. There were assignments where she had to write speeches, essays, poetry, etc. Her first time writing a proper poem was the year before her final year in secondary school for an annual poetry contest where students are selected to read poems. That year, her literature teacher told everyone in the class to write an original poem. It took her days to come up with something, but she eventually did. Surprisingly, she was one of the students chosen to read their poems in front of the entire school. Delusion It's dark. The starts are out.   It's perfect, or so it seems. Nothing can change it, or so I thought. Not long before I was wrong.   It's quiet, like a graveyard, pin-drop silence. Everything is still, no leaves fluttering. The winds wouldn't dare. No sound. The birds are mute.   I...

Hi guys, Welcome to my blog. My name is Janna Onyemaobi, i am a Nigerian and i am crazy about books. I can spend my whole day reading. I know what you might be thinking, and the answer is no, i am not antisocial, i'm just someone who enjoys getting lost in stories. I am a writer too 😊. So here's the question, what do i write about? I write about anything and everything 😉. I forgot to add, i actually studied physiology in the College of Medicine, University of Lagos, Lagos Nigeria. For those of you wondering what physiology is, don't worry, i got you 😉. Physiology is a medical course, it's simply the science of life. So now, you might be wondering what someone like me is doing here. Writing is something i love doing, it's like my haven and i don't want to turn that into a full time job.
