ReviewsThe next Gone Girl is a title that's been tossed around considerably in literary circles, but Kepnes' sophomore effort is worthy of the comparison., [I] devoured every page and enthusiastically recommended others do the same...I'm going to scoop up everything Kepnes writes... Probing, visionary and intricate, [ You ] makes me excited to read whatever she comes up with next., Joe is a horribly funny, strangely seductive narrator to spend time with--bitingly intelligent and simultaneously misanthropic and desperate for love. . .

It'll take you inside a psychopath's head... and might even make you like him. A mad and macabre love story., For a tale as dark as a winter day, tuck into Caroline Kepnes' psychological thriller Hidden Bodies, the sequel to Kepnes' lauded You ., Kepnes' writing style has gotten rave reviews from a ton of acclaimed authors including Stephen King, who calls it, 'hypnotic and scary.' If Stephen King finds it scary, you know it's going to be a wild ride!, An impending sense of dread hangs over Kepnes' cleverly claustrophobic debut, in which love takes on a whole new meaning...Kepnes keeps the reader guessing., There's something deeply insidious about the storytelling of Caroline Kepnes.

Caroline Kepnes is my latest obsession., With Hidden Bodies (out today), Caroline Kepnes delivers a more riveting, more chilling, more fascinating sophomore novel as our favorite sociopath Joe Goldberg takes on Hollywood... suspenseful, charming and unexpectedly poetic...With her singular style, endearing antihero and captivating social satire, Kepnes will leave you entirely satisfied and ready for more., Dark, quirky….

If you only read one new thriller this year, make it this one. It will stay with you long after you have put it down.,  "An impending sense of dread hangs over Kepnes' cleverly claustrophobic debut, in which love takes on a whole new meaning...Kepnes keeps the reader guessing."

SynopsisPraise for Caroline Kepnes and You : "Hypnotic and scary." -Stephen King "I am RIVETED, AGHAST, AROUSED, you name it. The rare instance when prose and plot are equally delicious." -Lena Dunham In the compulsively readable follow-up to her widely acclaimed debut novel, You , Caroline Kepnes weaves a tale that Booklist calls "the love child of Holden Caulfield and Patrick Bateman." Hidden Bodies marks the return of a voice that Stephen King described as original and hypnotic, and through the divisive and charmingly sociopathic character of Joe Goldberg, Kepnes satirizes and dissects our culture, blending suspense with scathing wit. 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: truelove. 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..., THE RIVETING SEQUEL TO THE HIT BOOK YOU , NOW A NETFLIX SERIES "Kepnes hits the mark, cuts deep, and twists the knife." -- Entertainment Weekly "Delicious and insane...The plot may be twisty and scintillating, but its Kepnes's wit and style that keep you coming back." --Lena Dunham "Hypnotic and scary." --Stephen King "Obsessed." --Jessica Knoll, New York Times bestselling author of Luckiest Girl Alive In the compulsively readable sequel to her widely acclaimed debut novel, You , Caroline Kepnes weaves a tale that Booklist calls "the love child of Holden Caulfield and Patrick Bateman."
