"In VERUM Calla and Dare leave [for] England and the story takes place in Whitley, the Sanger family compound. Calla learns that she will inherit a large estate now that she is eighteen but there are some stipulations to this inheritance. One is to be of sound mind...something that Calla is struggling with. ... even though [Dare] is there for her, she knows there are still secrets that she must uncover on her own"--customer review, Amazon.com.

I don't even know what I read. My mind is a complete mess. I thought Nocte was a mess but Verum...Verum is way past craziness. It's..I can't... I don't think I'll be sane enough after this and what to think of life. My review might end up being a mess but it's because I still can't form coherent thoughts on this.



Verum continues right where Nocte left off, that Calla needed to ask Dare something. But of course, in a book full of secrets, Calla needs to figure out everything on her own. The people by her side are merely there to guide her. The twists and turns this story has...everything is dark.

I knew that getting into Verum was going to be difficult. Why? Because I knew this was going to fuck with my head but I never could have imagined what this book had in store for the reader. It is darker than Nocte, darker than any book I've read.

I high-lighted a bunch of things of this book so I wouldn't miss a thing. I thought I had it figured out...I really did but no. Courtney Cole just had to throw the mother of curve-balls at us, the kind you never see coming even with glasses.



The mystery, the suspense...they don't end. They never stop. They will follow you until the last page. You may want to rip your hair out because this book will really mess with your head. I think the reason many people have liked this series is because it is not paranormal nor fantasy nor dystopian, yada yada yada. It is contemporary but it is psychological, meaning these things can happen in real life. Maybe not Calla's story but the conditions that are presented in the book can happen and that is what's scary.

The truth is revealed and believe me, you won't be prepared for it. What you thought you knew, you might as well throw it out of a window because you won't be correct. The truth is much darker than I had anticipated.

This definitely took a long time to read. I didn't like book 2. And man, I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to it. It was a jumbled mess and not in a good way. I felt crazy, just like her, which I guess is a good thing because the author executed the feel of Calla correctly, but there was no coherent thought. I was confused all the way till the end with absolutely no resolution and no need or want to read the next book either. I felt like the first book was so good, and so well done and I'm sadly disappointed with this one. It was so irritating how everyone was so vague and no one would answer her questions. The mystery to it was ridiculously annoying. The series should've stayed with Nocte itself and it would've been perfect. Like a better version of We Were Liars. Verum was a sloppy mess, up until the end of this book. I don't even know what happened, and I don't really care to know lol I'm just going to pretend I never read this. And pretend it ended on Nocte.

I don't even have words for what I just read. I feel like I'm the one having a mental breakdown right now.
Like seriously, what the heck was going on the whole time?
