Roan stands on the high street, dressed in a suit of armour. People stare at him, beads of sweat roll down his face. Soon he’ll be in a trance again, just like yesterday and the day before. Since he learned to escape reality, nothing troubles him. Nothing, but the insect he sees at night. Across the city, Milo, a brash self-destructive twenty something, is trapped in the desperate monotony of his job. Married young and once in love, he’s now losing his wife and his sanity to a compulsive drug habit. He needs a second chance, and goes looking for it in the most unlikely place. As their lives slowly converge, Roan and Milo are drawn into a sinister underworld of addiction, manipulation and murder. This is the place people go to disappear. A place that no one understands, no one but Pepper Hansell - the Magician. Tiptoe is a stark and harrowing tale of love, loss, depression, neuroticism and fear. A psychological thriller of new proportions, set in a hedonistic and tumultuous urban wasteland. Kit O’Conor seamlessly draws you from one character to the next, leaving a trail of unnerving clues that will leave you questioning your sanity, but unable to let go.

It is now being offered for the first time in the U.S. since its publication two years ago, where it garnered critical acclaim and many five-star reviews on Amazon UK’s site. Tiptoe is his first published piece of long fiction, and it's a winner.The book chiefly tracks two compelling characters, Milo and Roan through everyday London as they try to make their way: Milo as a dissatisfied call center worker soliciting business for a local eye doctor; and Roan, a struggling performance artist who stands for ten hours a day on London street corners dressed in a suit of armor.We follow both young men as they struggle along, Milo through heavy ingestion of a white, milky drug called Tiptoe, and Roan through a tortured, daily examination of his art and how it might be changing him.The author paints rich word portraits of his characters, once saying of Roan that "Humour had become a peculiar thing to him. In recent months he had watched the world ever more intently, searching for it." Indeed, Roan finds nothing funny about his existence, the world's situation, or even his friends—including Pepper, a quirky street magician who sells flaming wallets, among other things.Milo, however, is arguably the most central character and is chronically bereft of direction. He goes each night to a club where he drinks Tiptoe and gyrates to the music and lasers, mostly dancing with himself or, occasionally, with the girls he picks up. These encounters should be a bright spot for Milo, but his depression robs him of any pleasure from the heated unions.And, of course, there's one other little detail that stands between him and happiness: Milo's married to Ivy, an elementary grade schoolteacher with an inordinately giant heart for her students. To complicate matters, he disappears regularly for days on end, sleeping in seedy walkup lodgings. This singular habit eventually leads to friction with Ivy, who has friction of her own from her younger sister, Ruth, who "wore a thin, braided headband and a sleeveless top to show off the tattoo she regretted."While there is no plot, per se, to the book, it is enough to be carried along on O'Connor's wonderful writing style, which is direct and, again, refreshingly full of satisfying description. Of one man in a story being told to a child about knights chasing dragons, he says, "One day, when (the knight's) face was thick with frowns and whiskers, he reached the ends of the earth."And another laudable turn of phrase: "As he handed over the whisky, he inspected Milo, from his missing shirt buttons to his wired pupils." And yet one more: "Months passed, and he began to wonder what would be the most appropriate way, if he were to go mad."Needless to say, I liked Tiptoe very much and look forward to O'Connor's next literary endeavor. I hope it won't be long.

It follows a few different characters that I wish were (better) connected, as that would have made for a much more cohesive story.The main characters are Roan, a former actor who is now a street performer knight statue; and Milo & Ivy, a telemarketer and teacher. Milo uses a party drug called tiptoe, hence the name of the book and some interesting party scenes at a former hospital, which seems to be the only connection to Roan. Ivy has a pupil with an unusual, poorly-described affliction.This student and some things with Roan hint at the desire for some magical realism or fantasy elements that are not fully realized.Overall, this is a somewhat confused book with a great deal of potential due to the interesting characters and dialogue -- especially the absurdity of Milo's office setup and the crazy reactions he gets from his callers, as well as his partying and disappearing acts.

Can it be drug induce, mind games or just plain ludicrous. Ahh . . . The thrill of this story kept me guessing and complex as it seems I needed to know. The characters were just as off kilter as the dream induce scenes played out but I still don't know if it was a dream. I found it intriguing downright exciting to say the least. Of course the ending, well let's say 'nothing' I am stumped. You choose the ending, so with that, I want you to know the author impressively written a story to mess with your mind stealth like., good job! I received a free book, winner Goodreads First Read Giveaway. Thank you, Darlene Cruz
