This book is sick and twisted, Would I recommend it to someone? Certainly not without listing all the potential trigger warnings because there is a lot!ĭid I enjoy it? The answer to this question would be yes, I read it in 18 hours and was addicted to the story, no matter how much certain parts sickened me.

I found some parts of the book a bit creepy, parts where as an adult, Ellis/Dolly still prefers to dress up as Alice and carry a doll around with her and that Heathen/Rabbit likes her like this also but again, I also understand that it’s a coping mechanism for everything they have been through. I have read reviews comparing this to a retelling of Alice in Wonderland and I don’t think it is, I think it’s a person who is so broken that the only way they can protect their mind is to pretend they are in a different world and use alter egos (Rabbit & Dolly).

I do get that it sets the foundations of the story, to understand why Heathen and Ellis turn out as they are and is the whole reason they set out on this rampage of revenge. I was expecting a dark, spicy, sexy romance and I got the dark part! The first 60 pages of this book were about child exploitation and rape and as a person with no trigger warnings, even I found it a bit hard to read. This review is really hard for me to write due to the topics in this book. Contains explicit sexual situations, violence, disturbingly sensitive and taboo subjects, offensive language and very mature topics. With malice in their hearts and vengeance in their veins, they will seek out the ones who hurt and destroyed them. As Heathan pulls Ellis out of her mental prison, reviving the essence of who she once was, down the rabbit hole they will go. Time has made Ellis a shell of her former self, a little girl lost in the vastness of her pain. Time has made Heathan’s soul darker, polluted with hatred and the thirst for blood. Back to seek revenge on those who wronged them. Back from a place from which he thought there was no return. Eleven years later, Heathan is back for his girl. Until they were ripped apart by the sick cruelty of others, separated for years, both locked in a perpetual hell. The pair forged an unlikely friendship, unique and strange. Heathan was dark and brooding, and obsessed with watching things die. Ellis was loud and beautiful – all blond hair, bright laughs and smiles. When Ellis Earnshaw and Heathan James met as children, they couldn’t have been more different.
