This took me FOREVER to finally finish. I had to force myself out of sheer will. Honestly the dark kid situations are awful but honestly it was the characters themselves I couldn’t stand along with the writing and their relationship. Toxic and not in a sexily dark romance redeemable way (at least in my opinion). There was only one spicy scene that I found enjoyable and everything else was just not my cup of tea and unnecessarily long. Overall a let down for me personally.

I stumbled upon this book and heard it was bad. And out of pure curiosity I picked it up. My normall reading doesn't usually fall in line with the dark romance sub genre, so it was definitely a new experience ( I attempted Haunting Adeline and DNF'd it couple chapters in) which tells you I'm probably way out of my league here. 

I did not care for the romance in the book, I mainly stayed because as many people reference, Dolly and Rabbit have a very joker and Harley Quinn relationship. In that aspect, character development is definitely up there which is why I stayed. Definitely TW galore in this book. A little hard to read, definitely gives you icky vibes after reading it because of the trauma these poor characters were put through. 

I will say that I was sorely disappointed at the ending. Not to spoil the ending too much, but the final revenge fell flat. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I was hoping for more revenge than what was given to them considering the person who set up this entire thing played a major role in what they went through. 

But hey, that's just me.

A darkly depraved and perverse literary virtuoso!! 

Author Tillie Cole drags even the most seasoned readers of dark romance down the proverbial rabbit hole with SF, and leaves them questioning everything they thought they knew abut the genre- And themselves. 

****Multiple trigger warnings with this one, NOT expressed by the author. SF is intended for mature readers ONLY and even then, triggers should be carefully researched prior to beginning.

Really strong imagery and thought put into a sensitive and evocative subject. It's not just done for shock value. Dolly and Rabbit have quite realistic if somewhat over exaggerated reactions to what they were subjected to in the story and as it is a work of fiction are able to live out a version of revenge not possible in reality!!
The dynamic and connection between the two characters, although twisted, is beautiful.
