Am I ridiculously happy to have stock of Darling Bud, the companion novel to the Sweetpea series by in stock?
YES, YES, I AM! 🎉🎉
Here's the blurb:
Murder can be a family business … Even wallflowers have to bloom. Sixteen-year-old Ivy is your average teenager. She’s annoyed by the scratchy labels on her school uniform, old men who wolf-whistle, and her mother the serial killer.
But is murder in her roots? Ivy was raised far away from the shadows of Rhiannon Lewis, the Sweetpea killer, but when the local predator – better known as Ivy’s football coach – is found dead, could it be that she has discovered a taste for blood? As suspicion grows deeper, Ivy’s only way out is to get some motherly advice. But when the internet’s unlikeliest vigilantes determine that Ivy must be punished for her mother’s crimes, she must decide whether to control the rage burning inside her. Or to unleash her thorns…
