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.

Ok, before I begin my review- this book contains subject matter that may trigger some. It is dark, twisted, and a little bit crazy. It deals with children being raped and abused- so if that is something you can't read I recommend skipping this book.
"And with malice in his heart and darkness in his veins, smiled and said, "Tick tock."
Ellis loves playing pretend, her favorite things include her doll, tea parties, and her copy of Alice in Wonderland. She even dresses like Alice. When a new boy moves in, she is enraptured by him. Dark hair, dark clothes including a black waist coat, and silver eyes Heathen has always been feared. But Ellis isn't scared. She quickly becomes his best friend, and even names him Rabbit, after her book.
But quickly, things take a turn for the worst, and Heathen and Ellis are subjected to a hell neither of them could claw out of, and then separated, plunging them into two different worlds of darkness. Plus Rabbit vowed to return, and return he did, to take Ellis on an adventure and annihilate the men who decided to hurt and destroy them and their childhoods.
When it comes to dark romance, for me I have to be in the right (or wrong) mindset for it. Don't get me wrong, I love me a good dark romance, but sometimes the subject matter is hard for me to read, especially if it's something that resonates with me- something I personally relate to.
This book, was sometimes hard to read- with the sexual, and physical abuse of children. BUT the men who hurt them, in the end got what was coming to them. It was a dark and twisted take on Alice in Wonderland. And I loved Rabbit. I always gravitate towards the guys who are broken. The vulnerability, and what makes them tick, to find out what made them the way they are. And Rabbit is no different. He was broken even before he was abused, and my heart went out to him.
This book was dark, twisted, and insane. It was hot, and bothersome. It was everything that plunged this into a fucked up version of Alice in Wonderland.
4.5⭐ out of 5⭐

Oh my goodness.
So this is a reread of Sick Fux, & I still very much love it as much as the first time.
Definitely check TW on this one, bc it's fake, and twisted and fucked up.
Heathen "Rabbit" & Ellis "Dolly" deserved sooo much better in their childhoods - but they grew attached to one another, until they were ripped apart.
Now Rabbit is back to collect his Dolly, and take revenge on the twisted bastards who destroyed them. One at a time. Each one more deadly than the last.
Tick Tock.
I loved Heathen. He was dark even before the men ruined him- he enjoyed watching things die. And the moment Ellis stepped into his life- he had his eyes set on her. Always her.
Ellis was sweet, innocent, and pure. She was the light to Heathen's darkness. The two making an unlikely pair. She loved to dance, loved Tea, and Alice in Wonderland. Heathen would do anything to prevent the darkness from tainting her - until he was ripped away from her, not able to protect her. He waited eleven years in hell - biding his time. Until he could escape. Steal his Dolly back and seek revenge on all who have harmed her.
This book has MANY triggers, so definitely look them up before going in.
But it is dark and twisted. Heathen and Ellis painted the world in the blood of all those who have wronged them. My heart hurt for the pair. As always, I fall for the most dark and twisted and broken, and this was no different. I love Heathen. And loved their story.
If you would love a dark and twisted Alice in Wonderland tale, then I recommend picking up this book.
5⭐ out of 5⭐.
