Rhiannon Lewis is back, or is she? New name. New appearance. New life? New attitude?

I devoured the first two in the series so was giddy to get my hands on the audiobook and get a bit of sarky and twisted Rhiannon back in my life. As I initially started to listen I was a bit nervous Rhiannon had lost her edge and that this book was going to be the one that let me down. Thankfully Rhiannon's usual dark, sick and absolutely hilarious self makes a reappearance quite quickly. Without spoiling anything I had also been unsure as to whether there was going to be the same level of gore and excitement as the previous two. Again, Cj Skuse did not disappoint.

This is another whopper from Skuse which again is carried brilliantly by Georgia Maguire the narrator. The ending is left open enough for Rhiannon to return in whatever form she decides to take and I am so excited to see her return. Long live Rhiannon.
