There were parts I loved, such as the authors writing style which drew me in and kept me at the edge. But this was overshadowed by the fact it was a dark and vile read, without a proper trigger warning list for the type of acts inflicted upon characters.
A book that involves kids as young as 10 needs some type of warning. And I will stand by that due to how explicit and degrading some of these scenes were.
My rating will most likely change after I think it over and digest what I just read. This is due to the fact my mind is still wondering why I kept going just for a mediocre revenge plot line and horrid child abuse scenes 🤷🏻‍♀️

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

Masturbated and didn't get the soul wrecking rush you expected?
This book is the same.
I mean I loved the sinister MCs and the whole Alice in the Wonderland turn it took but, the end was so damn anticlimactic, a complete contrast to the whole book.
If they would've died looking into each other's eyes and I use half of my aqueous humour, then it would definitely be a 5 star reader for me.
Anyways we love some unbothered maniacs who always leave their DNA sprawling around and with their luck with the police, I might as well steal some hardbacks.
