Hidden Bodies
by Caroline Kepnes
DID NOT FINISH
Okay so I have so many mixed feelings for this book so hang with me. I have a degree in psychology with a minor in criminal justice, and I work in the field now- this is relevant I promise.
So, the first book was amazing. I loved everything about it. I felt like the writer really gets into the mind of a psychopath, which is really hard for many to do. The writer was able to do this in the second book but almost too much. There were scenes and some things that Joe (main character) said or thought that made me feel uneasy <- this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. When reading this genre, many people like the uneasy feeling. But this book reminds me a lot of the mentally ill people I work with, almost to a ‘T’.
The book is so overly detailed and trails off to a point that I feel it looses everything the first book built up. It almost felt like a bunch of random interactions with different people. There was constantly something going on or going wrong for Joe. He was constantly almost getting himself caught to the point where I felt it was predictable.
I ended up getting like 48% through the book then DNF it.
