Joe Goldberg is back and he has been double-crossed by the woman he thought was the love of his life, Amy. His fury that this woman got the best of him knows no bounds. He leaves New York and follows her to Los Angeles with one intention - to kill her. It doesn't take long for Joe to realize just how different in California is compared to New York City. He gets close to finding Amy, but not before his body count climb even higher. However, when Joe meets Love Quinn he starts to forget all about Amy. Love is older than Joe and from a wealthy family and he finds it quite easy to get accustomed to living a privileged life. The only thing overshadowing his newfound happiness is Love's twin brother, Forty. An addicted, lost soul, who uses people every chance he gets. And the "mug of piss" left behind at the Salinger house. When Joe gets an alert that the local police are opening an investigation into Peach's death he knows that he has to go back, face his past, and get rid of that mug. Will Joe be able to take care of his past before it destroys his future with Love?
Hidden Bodies is a continuation of the hit book/television show You. You really do need to read the first book to get everything in the second book. Joe Goldberg is an interesting character for the reader to figure out. On the one hand, he is a psychopath. But on the other hand, it is easier than I thought possible to kind of root for him. I have to admit that I took a little pleasure in seeing Joe get screwed over by Amy at the beginning of the book. When Joe moves to California he was very clearly out of his element. I didn't really like him in California, he seemed more comfortable in New York City. BUT I did like Joe with Love. He seemed to want to be a better person when he was with her. He tried to keep her happy and fit in with her family, even her crazy twin brother. I was really surprised at just how far Joe took his relationship with Love. -- CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS - They way the story ended made it very clear that Joe's story is not over. And I can't wait to see what the author has in store for him.
Bottom Line - Joe Goldberg is getting a place in pop culture as one of America's favorite serial killers. He has this captivating way about him that makes it impossible to stop reading. Another great book from Caroline Kepnes.
