Hidden Bodies is the sequel to You by Caroline Kepnes. The novel follows Joe Goldberg, a serial killer, who attempts to hide his past in order to live a happy life with the girl he loves.
This book is dark and honestly a bit terrifying. It makes you wonder how far the people in your life would go to stay there. This book is complicated because one usually roots for the main character in a story, but Joe is no hero. He is a murderous manipulator, but one finds themself seeing the other characters as villainous through his eyes. The ending definitely left me wanting more so I am eager to read Kepnes' new book.
