Rhiannon Lewis should be happy. Her cheating fiancé is in jail – framed for the depraved killing spree she committed. Her ex-lover is chopped up and buried where no-one will find him. But there’s one small problem. She’s pregnant. And as much as Rhiannon wants to continue working her way through her kill lists, a small voice inside is trying to make her stop. Now Rhiannon has to choose – motherhood or murder.

Thoughts

I know it’s a little bit troubling to be on the side of a serial killer, but I do so love that we are reading fresh and realistic thoughts from an angry young woman. Usually these characters are male, so it’s great to read the developments in Sweetpea’s life, particularly how she deals with pregnancy and everything that comes afterwards. It took me a minute to get into this again, having loved the last one and needing to pick up the threads again, but it soon came roaring back and the story went down very well. Definitely keen to continue this series and see what happens next.

Rating: 4 / 5
