Title: Sick Fux
Author: Tillie Cole
Genre: Dark Contemporary Romance
When Ellis Earnshaw and Heathan James met as children, they couldn’t have been more different. Ellis was loud and beautiful – all blond hair, bright laughs and smiles. Heathan was dark and brooding, and obsessed with watching things die.
The pair forged an unlikely friendship, unique and strange. Until they were ripped apart by the sick cruelty of others, separated for years, both locked in a perpetual hell.
Eleven years later, Heathan is back for his girl. Back from a place from which he thought there was no return. Back to seek revenge on those who wronged them.
Time has made Heathan’s soul darker, polluted with hatred and the thirst for blood.
Time has made Ellis a shell of her former self, a little girl lost in the vastness of her pain.
As Heathan pulls Ellis out of her mental prison, reviving the essence of who she once was, down the rabbit hole they will go.
With malice in their hearts and vengeance in their veins, they will seek out the ones who hurt and destroyed them.
One at a time.
Each one more deadly than the last.
Tick Tock.
Dark Contemporary Romance. Contains explicit sexual situations, violence, disturbingly sensitive and taboo subjects, offensive language and very mature topics. Recommended for ages 18 and over.
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⭐
