I hated what happened to Heathen(Rabbit) and Ellis(Dolly) when they were children. I hated what they had to endure at the hands of Ellis' father and his business associates and what happened to Ellis mother because she didn't agree with her husband's activities.
I loved that Ellis and Heathen eventually get their revenge on the men who hurt them and so many other children. And I loved that even though Eddie didn't hated Heathen for stealing his best friend he still let them go when he could've arrested them for their crimes. I also think Eddie may have a little darkness himself, just maybe not at bad as Heathen and Ellis. The way he reacted to wanting to be called the mad hatter and the fact he let them go when he didn't have to, made me think he may not be quite as straight laced as the other two thought.
So overall I absolutely loved this book. And is definitely recommend but beware of the trigger warnings. I do wish the author had put more specific trigger and content warnings instead of the generalized one she has on the book description. I was definitely shocked by some of the things in this book and would've liked more of a forewarning before getting into this book.

Wow, I was not expecting what I got.
Judging by the title and the news of how it was a banned book and everything, I knew it was going to be dark.
I was scared and hesitant in the beginning to start with thinking it be too dark for me.
But it was the perfect kind of dark I was looking for.
It was definitely a dark bloody red crime murder mystery SICK FUX read.
Trigger warning on a lot of things from; sexual assault, rape, paedophilia, trauma, abuse, blood, gore, graphic and descriptive details.
I actually enjoy that it focused on the revenge plotline of course with a side of romance here and there.
However, it's more focused on the character development of facing trauma, PTSD and all.
I love the Alice in Wonderland concept.
It was such a brilliant concept that I fell in love with it.
Although it was a very dark book, it was easy to read and I was going through it fast.
The pacing and structure of the book move flawlessly.
I won't mind reading more of it or about Henry\Hyde
