Joe Goldberg is no stranger to hiding bodies. In the past ten years, this thirty-something has buried four of them, collateral damage in his quest for love. Now he’s heading west to Los Angeles, the city of second chances, determined to put his past behind him. In Hollywood, Joe blends in effortlessly with the other young upstarts. He eats guac, works in a bookstore, and flirts with a journalist neighbor. But while others seem fixated on their own reflections, Joe can’t stop looking over his shoulder. The problem with hidden bodies is that they don’t always stay that way. They re-emerge, like dark thoughts, multiplying and threatening to destroy what Joe wants most: true love. And when he finds it in a darkened room in Soho House, he’s more desperate than ever to keep his secrets buried. He doesn’t want to hurt his new girlfriend—he wants to be with her forever. But if she ever finds out what he’s done, he may not have a choice…
Funny story - before "You" became the popular Lifetime/Netflix series, I had read Hidden Bodies several months prior - not even aware that it was a sequel featuring Joe Goldberg, the obsessed stalker boyfriend . And I loved it. Seriously, I was completely drawn into Joe's story and his serial killer ways. After reading "You", I have to say, I did enjoy the first book of the series more..but nonetheless, Hidden Bodies was great. I didn't particularly care for Love, Joe's love interest in the book, and the ending keeps you hanging which makes me wonder - will this be a trilogy? I certainly hope so. It has to be a great book and series when you root for the stalker killer, right? I definitely recommend this series to anyone who enjoys the thriller genre.
