 I thought I knew what was going on when I got to the end of Nocte, and Verum is an intriguing reminder that there's way more going on in this story than meets the eye. I finished with even more questions than I had going in. 
 It's really difficult to write what this book is about, other than saying it's a mind bending, twist filled ride with lots of things going on and lots of questions about what is real and what isn't. There's a real gothic feel to it too, which gives Verum a spooky, old-time quality that I loved. I still don't know what's true or false, and I think that's says much about the skillfulness of presentation in this series. 
 I'm not going to give you any spoilers so basically, I can't really say tell you anything other than Verum takes all the crazy stuff from Nocte, shakes it up in a blender and spills it all out at the end, leaving you wondering what the heck just happened. 
 I'm really wondering how this is all going to end. Will I be happy with the ending? To be honest, I think that's going to be a very difficult task for Courtney Cole, to unravel all of this and somehow truly make this a romance. I'm not sure that's what we will get though and that makes me really want to read the final book in this trilogy. 
 This series is one of the most intriguing and suspenseful series I have read in a very long time.
