Sweetpea trilogy by C J Skuse

 



****SPOILER ALERT****

I have been waiting to review this since I read the first book. By the time I had read it there was an announcement that there was a second and then a third so I couldn't review just the one. These are by the same author as The Alibi Girl I reviewed before.

Starting with book one 'Sweetpea' we see learn about Rhiannon who suvived a gruesome incident as a child and living as the daughter of a vigilante father. Rhiannon has her quirks with her Sylvanians and her urges to make sex offenders and rapists suffer.

Book two 'In Bloom' see Rhiannon deal with her dick of a boyfriend who was shagging someone else. Then to find out she is pregnant and the baby is like her inner voice, telling her not to kill. Not that that really stopped her. Her boyfriend gets arrested for the murders that she committed.

Final book 'Dead Head' starts at the end and Rhiannon goes on to tell her story of what happened after she had her baby and had to go on the run. The people she meets and the things she must do to avoid being caught and sentenced for her crimes. She meets some great people in this book. What i loved in this book was how The Alibi Girl was referenced in the book.

Over these 3 books I have really got captured by the characters and their stories and couldn't wait to see what would happen next. When I found out that firstbook was going to be written into a TV series I was so excited. I hope it is well done and they tell the whole story with additional series for books 2 and 3. 

Sweetpea and In Bloom are available now and Dead Head is released in February 2021.

I gave these books:
