Hidden Bodies by Caroline Kepnes (sequel to You)

Review by Mrs. O'Dell

This novel is for mature audiences.  In fact, I found this novel to be quite raunchy at times, and I nearly abandoned it.  The only reason why I didn’t is because I was curious about whether or not Joe was going to get away with the murders he committed in You.  In this novel, he runs from his past crimes (in New York) while following a girl (to Los Angeles) who wronged him.  There, he restarts his life, gets a new job, a new apartment, and a new friend group.  But Joe’s biggest problem is that he can’t let things go.  He becomes obsessed with one girl and then another, killing people who could possibly get in the way of Joe’s love-life.  And it looks like he is free and clear, until a Taco Bell run with his love (named Love, isn’t that a coincidence?) ends poorly.  The ending of this novel suggests a part three.  I probably won’t read it.  

– 3 stars
