That cliff hanger is just unfair. How can you do this to me knowing there’s one book left. Torture.
Not fully 5* because, like the second book, it felt like a little bit of a filler for the big finale. However, loved Rhiannon’s character development this time.
It’s a shame most of these plots/scenes are not safe for TV because I would love to see how they would continue the series.

I am just 👏🏽 obsessed 👏🏽 with this series!! I read the first two books (SWEETPEA & IN BLOOM) back in the prime bookstagram era of 2020 and it’s been a while since the third, so I was so excited to jump back into Rhiannon’s twisted mind and this did not disappoint!
Violent, twisted + hilarious, with the trademark dark humour + witty (very British) sarcasm, this was so damn captivating and I could not put it down. Our MC Rhiannon is as foul mouthed, blunt and sardonic as always, but we are seeing some growth and her priceless ‘kill lists’ are just as entertaining as book one. I feel like I shouldn’t enjoy these books as much as I do (she is a serial killer after all) but they are just brilliant.
My one complaint… that ending should be illegal. What in the emotional rollercoaster crash was that!? WHEN IS BOOK FIVE? 😭 Aside from the torturous cliffhanger, this was such a fun, fast paced + thrilling fourth instalment and this unique series is one of my all time favourites.
If you love dark thrillers, have a questionable sense of humour + enjoy the anxiety of watching Joe Goldberg kill people who annoy him + then get nail-bitingly close to being caught, you need to grab a copy of these books immediately! You’re welcome, in advance 🫶🏽
