This very well may be the darkest book I've read. I absolutely loved it. I could barely put it down, I just wanted to keep going to see the bad guys get what they deserved. I this whole book in one day.
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.
