Joe has moved to the Pacific Northwest. He is volunteering at a library. Mary Kay DiMarco is the head  librarian. She is married and has a teenage daughter. Joe is going to do whatever it takes to make Mary Kay his. He is obsessed but has more patience that in the past. 

Joe is his typical fashion makes a bit of a mess of things. He is a creature of habit and repeats past errors and techniques. Expect a fast pace read that is filled with pop culture , movie and literary references. The ending was a bit unexpected making for a thrilling read.

Hidden Bodies (You, #2) By Caroline Kepnes



Hidden Bodies is the second installment in the You series. Joe has a new obsession and her name is Amy. Amy has her own agenda and one day she goes missing. Joe heads out to Hollywood hoping to find Amy but Joe meets Love and Amy quickly becomes old news.

Love and Joe quickly find themselves loving life together but Joe's past demons keeping calling him back and Love's ex boyfriend and brother monopolize her time and energy.  Joe is not pleased and acts out in  typical Joe fashion. Joe might have to met his match with Love's family!

Hidden bodies does not have the same zest that You has but Joe's psychopathic tendencies keep you turning the pages. Kepne's writing keeps you entertained and his dark mind and personality will give you some chuckles but the magic of You has fizzled a bit.

It's been 20 years and the Griffin Sister music still lives in popularity and fans new and old want new music. Cassie has gone off the grid in a remote area of Alaska and then video surfaces of her singing ...

Weiner is one of my favorite authors and I read her books without knowing what they are about as sometimes the synopsis give too much away. This book isn't my favorite of hers but I did enjoy it and found myself drawn to the characters and storyline.
