AUTHOR'S NOTE — CONTENT WARNING
This book is dark. It is violent. It is about survival after the worst thing.
Poison Ivy contains: graphic depictions of sexual violence, murder of family including a child, gore, body horror, psychological trauma, suicide, and self-harm. The rape is not eroticized. It is written with disgust, rage, and grief. There are flashbacks and nightmares in explicit detail. If you have experienced sexual violence, please protect yourself first. You do not owe this story your pain.
This is not a revenge fantasy where it feels good. It's a revenge tragedy where it costs everything. Ivy was 19. She was a girl who thought the world was kind. The world proved her wrong. What follows is what happens when a system decides some crimes don't get to leave scars — so she becomes the scar.
You will hate parts of this. You are supposed to.
You will pity her. Then you will fear her. That is the point.
If you continue, you are walking into the thorns with her.
Clause 1: No one gets out unmarked.
