Thanks to Harper Collins for allowing me to read this one early.
Rhiannon is back.
Absolutely love this character maybe I’m a bad seed!
Having read all of the Sweetpea series I was waiting for this one and it has lived up to expectation.
The plot as usual is fast paced twisty and filled with humour. The writing keeps you reading and brings the places and people to life. The characters are both endearing and frightening but always with humour and leaves you routing yet again for Rhiannon.
Would definitely recommend to readers who like plots with quirky killers.

This book was everything I hoped it would be. The ending of book 4 smashed my heart into a million pieces, and I've been (im)patiently waiting to get my hands on this one ever since. I thought this was a brilliant conclusion to the series - it was full of the usual Rhiannon-isms and it ended just how I wanted it to end. My only negative is that I'm devastated that the series is over, I've loved every single page of it.

The one-liners in this are soooo good and quotable, yet I can't share them here because most of them are channelling sweary Rhiannon! My favourite concerns a coat with a fur hood, you'll know it when you see it...! This is the fifth in the Sweetpea series, and they just keep getting better and better. There's character development, added depths to characters we thought we knew, fun online forum segments, and OF COURSE Rhiannon's hate lists. It wouldn't be a Swweptea book without those!!

Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in return for an honest review. I was so excited to be accepted to read this new instalment of sweetpea as it is one of my all time favourite book series. I absolutely loved this new story and felt that it carried on so well from the last one perfectly. Rhiannon is an absolutely fantastic character who is hilarious and seriously entertaining. This may seem like a strange thing to say about a serial killer but you need to read the books to understand her. I really hope there is another book in the works as I’m not ready to let her go just yet. #badseeds! Highly recommended. 5 stars.

One of the main things I loved about this series was how truly different it was. There likely will be poor attempts to recreate it, but this was a one off, a true individual.

I’ve read all of them now and I know that I will go back time and time again to read them again.

Skuse is a hugely talented author (yes I read the others) and while I know my feedback won’t matter at all, I would say this book surprised me. It wasn’t what I was expecting and it didn’t end as I imagined.

I don’t even know if that’s a good thing. What I do know is it was a hell of a ride and a joy to read.

This book was an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review, which this is.

Compelling As Ever..
The fifth in the darkly amusing Sweetpea series finds Rhiannon with a dilemma on her hands. Once upon a time, everything seemed to be going well but then, due to entirely unforeseen circumstances, she finds herself needing to flee the USA for the shores of Britain. Knowing that this will pose a dangerous situation, what ever will she do next? Dark, dark, dark and in a much similar vein to the others in this series, seriously amusing and with a propulsive plot populated with a pitch perfect cast of characters. As compelling as ever.

This series has been so much fun and I’m so sad it’s all over! The final installment was a very fitting end to a gruesome, tongue in cheek, sarcastic, thoroughly rotten ride. 💯💯💯

After the cliffhanger at the end of book 4 I was desperate to read this next installment so I'm so glad to have had this ARC.
As with all of the previous Sweetpea books I struggled to put this down and I loved being submerged in this world again. The only negative is that this was the final book in the series. C.J. Skuse is a genius to be able to craft a loveable, humorous serial killer who is a breath of fresh air!

First of all i am kicking myself for reading this so fast.
The 5th and sadly the last in the series.
Rhiannon is in a terrible situation, if she returns to the UK she is likely to get arrested but she must.....for Ivy.
Another brilliant and hilarious/dark read which would make a fantastic series for television
If i could give ten stars i would.
C J Skuse is one talented author, i will be watching to see what she writes next.
My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my copy..

This is the fifth and final instalment in the fantastic Sweetpea series and it did not disappoint in any way at all. I have loved this series and I am sad to see it end but at least I can re-read the story again whenever I feel the need for some hilarious, murderous fun.

As an unapologetically feral Bad Seed, it should come as no surprise that I inhaled this book, barely coming up for air. A sensational conclusion to one of the best series out there, I'd follow Rhiannon anywhere (even if I would be on one of her lists 👀).
