I couldn’t just buy 12 kindle books could I? I mean, we all know I have a book buying problem! I have terrible self-control! I was looking for something else but Amazon started to recommend these psychological thrillers that were only £2.00 and so I bought 12 books!

All 12 books are psychological thrillers and this time I actually managed to get more books that aren’t in series. Phew! So, lets go ahead and show off the books I shouldn’t have bought and the blurbs that made me buy them!!

Sweet Pea by C. J. Skuse

The last person who called me 'Sweetpea' ended up dead...

I haven't killed anyone for three years and I though that when it happened again I'd feel bad. Like an alcoholic taking a sip of whisky. But no. Nothing. I had a blissful night's sleep. Didn't wake up at all. And for once, no bad dream either. This morning I feel balanced. Almost sane, for once.

Rhiannon is your average girl next door, settled with her boyfriend and little dog...but sh'es got a killer secret. 

Although her childhood was haunted by a famous crime, Rhiannon's life is normal now that her celebrity has dwindled. By day her job as an editorial assistant is demeaning and unsatifying. By evening she dutifully listens to her friend's plans for marriage and babies whilst secretly making a list. 

A kill list.

From the man on the Lidi checkout who always mishandles her apples, to the driver who cuts her off on her way to work, to the people who have got it coming. Rhiannon's ready to get her revenge.

Because the girl everyone overlooks might be able to get away with murder...

In Bloom (Sweetpea 2) by C. J. Skuse

If only they knew the real truth. It should be my face on those front pages. My headlines. I did those things, not him. I just want to stand on that doorstep and scream it: IT WAS ME. ME. ME. ME. ME!

Rhiannon Lewis has successfully fooled the world and framed her cheating fiance Craig for the depraved and bloody killing spree she committed. She should be ecstatic that she's free.

Except for one small problem. She's pregnant with her ex-lover's child. The ex-lover she only recently chopped up and buried in her in-laws garden. As much as Rhiannon wants to continue making her way through he kill lists, a small voice is trying to make her stop.

But can a killer's urges ever really be curbed? 

And there we have it. 12 blurbs for 12 books I shouldn’t have bought. £24 for 12 books was pretty good value though and I only picked books that made me excited just thinking about reading them. I have started to clear some space on my shelves at home, but realistically I know I have my work cut out to read them all. I just wish I had some more self control when it came to book buying. Some times I feel pressured to read all the books I’ve bought but other times I feel excited because of all the books I’ve bought. It’s a vicious cycle!

Let me know if any of you have read any of these books and what your thoughts/opinions/ratings were.
