I really enjoyed reading this book as I do all of Matt Shaw 's books . The man really knows how to write about the Darkest side of the human race . An he delivers as promised ! This book takes you to all the stages of a stalker of the worst kind , and beyond your worst nightmare ! He can and will take you beyond stalking , this story has murder,kidnapping,cannibalism and all this is done in the name of love . A man so desperate to find his soul mate . Readers if you like reading murderer stories you'll find this book one you'll remember . I'm sure you won't be disappointed , you will feel it's money well spent . Now I get to read the next book of how he steps it up for his next poor victim . All for his quest of a Happy Ever After life of love ! Wow! The Crazy "B" !

I actually got the second book free and read that one first not realising that it was the second in a trilogy. I really enjoyed that one and this one was no different. I think the main character is soo creepy and out of his mind that I can't help but want to know what he's going to do next. The story kept me entertained and it's one I would definitely recommend to others. My only complaint is that there were a few grammatical errors that did occasionally distract from the story. And I thought the price was a bit much.

I am so happy I stumbled across Happily Ever After Trilogy!! I absolutely loved this book! Matt has a way of writing a story that just draws you in and refuses to let you go until you are finished! The main character Peter...poor delusional crazy Peter is absolutely great!! I noticed as I was reading this book I found myself at moments saying why can't someone just love him!?!? Then I remember oh yeah it's cause he's a psycho!! If you like stories that are wrong in all the right ways this is definitely for you!!

Deeper into the twisted mind of Peter Jenkins is where this story takes us.

Back to the start of his first obsession...poor Susie.

All Peter wants is his Happily Ever After....and he will stop at nothing to get it!

He just needs to get her away from all the interferences...just needs the two of them to be alone so he can show her that he really is the one for her.

She will understand in time...understand why it has to be this way.

This book was not what I initially expected, with its interesting twist I couldn't put it down. I would of liked it to be a little longer especially in the later scenes but overall I would definitely recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Uncomfortably entertaining
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2012

This is a very entertaining book that succeeds in making you laugh and feel extremely uncomfortable at the same time. The main characters are likeable and the story is a very quick read. I wasn't sure what to expect with the book and I was pleasantly surprised. There are violent situations in the book, so beware if that is not your cup of tea.

This is a must read series! I was not able to put this book down once I started. Peter just wants to find his Happy Ever After but when he finds Susie things just go horribly wrong,, well for Susie they do. Chilling but on edge story. If you like a book or series that keeps you on edge then these are the books for you, not to mention that Matt Shaw is sn awesome writer!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant. Nothing else, just brilliant.

This book sees the return of the ubiquitous Peter and his quest for love. I say the return because I read the second story (Happy Ever After - see review in earlier post) in this series first, which stands alone perfectly from the other two I have read. In fact, I would go so far to recommend that you read the second story first if that makes sense. I say this because the second book scared the pants off me whereas this one gave me an insight, and a sympathetic one at that, into Peter's personality. I cannot get into my head how the author has created a man that is totally deranged, yet still manages to make the reader fall in love with Peter. This story tells of Peter's first attempt at stealing love and ends with the promise that worse things are to come in the second in the series. I found the feelings evoked in this first story very different to what I felt in the second story. The second story left me thinking that Peter was completely mad, but the first found me growing strangely attached to the weird little man. Peter is a character that is so matter of fact. The way he describes things and the way he views the world is absolutely hilarious in parts, and this was a refreshing change to the horror I felt from the second book. Don't get me wrong, there is enough in this one to turn your stomach. Cannibalism, broken bones etc, but the author does it with a dark hint of horror. Peter claims Susie as his own, and the story tells of how he won her heart ( Peter style) and the things she did that created her sorry situation. The stairs episode, and Peter's explanation, will have you roaring with laughter....which is very wrong, considering what you will be laughing about. I love this author's style...he has created a character who lives in his own world and who is a psychopath....but he explains it all away so neatly that you end up thinking " Is Peter really deranged, or is his way of thinking the right one?". Have said it before, but I really wonder where the author got this addictive character from. Truly brilliant. To get your readers to love an evil character takes immense skill. Am hooked and am going to be reading everything I can get my hands on by Matt Shaw. He is an easy read, with no complicated threads to confuse the reader - just sharp and to the point. Love it.

Just finished G.S.O.H Essential, and I have to say I'm far from disappointed. Although it seems most of the book is repeated from Happy ever after, and it was a bit predictable, I love the fast-paced style in which Matt Shaw writes. It's impossible to get bored reading this. Very dark humour, and despite the morbid themes, Peter is a quick-witted, funny character. I would love to find out more about his past and what made him this way. I am looking forward to A Fresh Start, thank you Matt for a brilliant trilogy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another cracker in the life of Peter
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 30, 2012

This is the first in the 'Peter Chronicles' as I like to call them. It is the prequel to Happy Ever After. In this Peter is looking for 'The One' and he thinks he may have found her in the local supermarket. All he has to do is get her home...

Having read Happy Ever After before this, I knew somewhat what to expect and I wasn't disappointed. Just as dark and malevolent as it's successor, the events of this story serve as a sort of trial run for the events of Happy Ever After. Once again we find out Peter is not firing on all cylinders, and his idea of love and togetherness is truly warped. Seen through the eyes of both Peter and Susie in differing points of view, the story builds up to fever pitch tension. I recommend this totally, as a great start to a great series.

Not that I would class this as horror but the things Peter gets up to are downright horrible, I say that but it doesn't stop me from LOVING it!!! Although this is the second book it's actually a prequel so was interesting to see who came before Vanessa. Poor Susie would have been better off sticking with her ex, as gross as he was lol!!! I like the way Matt is still letting you know the story from both perspectives, makes it much more interesting. I've already started on the 3rd book, that's how much I'm enjoying this series. Buy it people :0)

Bought and read this after being impressed by Happy Ever After. Found it to be of an equivalent standard to the 2nd part of the trilogy and thoroughly enjoyed reading it from start to finish. Not quite as chilling as the 2nd book but every bit as captivating. It tells the story of Peter and Susie and sets the scene for why Peter made the decisions he did in the 2nd book. Definitely well recommended for all who enjoy horror.
