Book synopsis
Sometimes, you can be your own worst enemy…
Rhiannon Lewis thought she finally had it all: thanks to the pandemic she’s had to keep a much lower profile but has found happiness with her fiancé Rafael and his family. For once, she is surrounded by people who love her for who she is (or who they think she is).
After over 800 days without murdering anyone, the woman formerly known as the Sweetpea Killer thinks she might have finally turned over a new leaf.
That is until her soon-to-be sister-in-law has a run in with her abusive ex, and Rhiannon rediscovers her taste for revenge. This time, with a loving family in tow, the stakes are much higher. Wedded bliss and life as a normal person are finally within Rhiannon’s reach, but you can never keep a good serial killer down.

My review
When I heard that there was going to be a new book in this series I was so excited! I have read all of the other books, which are Sweet Pea, In Bloom, and Dead Head. Each one follows the story of Rhiannon Lewis. Each one makes me laugh out loud at some parts and shocked at others and this one did not fail to do that.
In this book we see Rhiannon with her husband to be Raf, you can see how much she has grown as a person and she has gone a long time without killing. They embrace her into the family. She is hugely protective about her family and sometimes that is the downfall of her too. I love the character of Rhiannon and the storyline is well plotted and wrote superbly.
I would definitely be in the Bad Seeds fan club! Never thought I would love a serial killer but I adore her and what she stands for . This was left on a real cliff hanger and I know the next book will be amazing!
Love this book so much, well the whole series and cannot wait to read more! If I could give this more than 5 stars I would.
