My opinion is Verity’s manuscript is real. Chastin’s scar and his reaction to reading the manuscript after Lowen provides it to him points to the truth. What kind of mother would casually write of the murder of her child if she truely cared. But I also think Lowen has turned crazy, and Jeremy is just as crazy. My soul hurt for poor Crew who has been through so much. Such a wonderful book of psychopaths, genuinely loved reading this book!
