Another great novel with everyone's favourite serial killer Rhiannon!

Our girl has escaped the UK and is now on a cruise trying to figure out her next steps. What follows is a very tense but also hilarious insight once again in Rhiannon's brain as she sets onwards on her new life.


Would recommend this!

An absolutely brilliant book in a series. I was so excited about this and it really didn't let me down. Dark, hilariously funny. Brilliant. Highly recommended.

Well!....I finished this last night and my heart was in my bloody mouth for the last 20% of this, I feel like I went through every emotion and I just adored every moment of it.

I read this over two days in pretty much two sittings, it was so good to have Rhiannon back and doing what she does best, I loved how the story progressed and when I started it I just had no idea where it would end up. From the opening scenes which had her familiar dark humour and observations back again, to the Cruise she is on and the people she meets there (the commentary in her head provides many gems) and her unlikely friendship she strikes up while on board (which not only delivered more dark humour but also some really tender and heartfelt moments between the two of them which I loved!) and then the last section of the book where she is in Mexico and so many things go down!.

This, the same as previous books, never has a dull moment, has a constant narrative which I just bloody love so much and could read and enjoy if was 1000 pages long, id still want more ha. Rhiannon is just such a brilliant character who you will relate to (on some levels not actually going off and doing the killing but thinking about it) she is funny, she has heart and she is just so entertaining and gripping to read about and follow. I just adore this authors writing and also...loved the references to The Alibi Girl, such a cool inception type moment which the book geek in me loved. This book had everything that the two before it did; lots of dark humour that we love and enjoy, gory killings, some C bombs dropped here and there for good measure and just a nice sprinkling of emotional moments thrown in to balance things out.

An absolute easy 5 ⭐️ read for me!
And so excited that I have been included in the thank yous, genuinely means a lot, so thank you!

Synopsis:
Since confessing to her bloody murder spree Rhiannon Lewis, the now-notorious Sweetpea killer, has been feeling out-of-sorts.
Having fled the UK on a cruise ship to start her new life, Rhiannon should be feeling happy. But it’s hard to turn over a new leaf when she’s stuck in an oversized floating tin can with the Gammonati and screaming kids. Especially when they remind her of Ivy – the baby she gave up for a life carrying on killing.
Rhiannon is all at sea. She’s lost her taste for blood but is it really gone for good? Maybe Rhiannon is realising that there’s more to life than death…

Review:
So.. I am a HUGE advocate for the Sweetpea series and when I say huge, I really do mean huge! I read the first two books of the series one after another and completely and utterly fell in love with it (if that's the right word for this type of series haha?!)
First of all, I am SO glad the kill lists have remained throughout this book. There was one point where I was worried that they were gone for good and I was genuinely so upset about the idea of them going as they really are one my favourite aspects of the series (and in some way relatable).
I have to admit, this book started off slightly slower than the first two and I was unsure where it was going to go but, it soon picked up and gave me the dose of dark, twisted humour that this series has given me from the start!
In this book, it was nice to see a completely different side to Rhiannon. I liked seeing her not being able to repress her emotions, especially when it came to Ivy and how she began to feel towards Rafael too.
I cannot wait for book 4 (as come on, after that cliffhanger there HAS to be a book4?! *hint hint*) to see how what Rhiannon will get up to next!

Another massive well done to CJ Skuse for another amazing novel in the Sweetpea series. If you haven't read this series yet then it's a definite must read.

Thank you so much to NetGalley, HQ publishers and CJ Skuse for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
