After I finished this book I had to call Mistress M and rant for about half an hour. Then I decided that I needed to wait a day before I wrote my review. Logically, I knew that if I wrote this review immediately after reading the book, I would have had SHOUTY CAPS saying over and over again why not to read this book. So, I waited a day, and while I am still beyond angry with it, I think I might be able to give a few coherent thoughts as to why. So just beware I am going to spoil the hell out of this story because I want you to understand my wrath.Essentially this book is about a young cello player named Madeleine, who is kidnapped. Aaron our "hero" has a horrible father who has finally found his son's weakness in the form of Madeleine. Aaron has been obsessed with her and when his father finds this out, he decides to kidnap Madeleine and give her to his son as a birthday present. Aaron's father runs a compound referred to as The Estate. When Madeleine is taken she is intended to be used as a sexual slave for Aaron, but mostly the dad is just trying to manipulate his son into being a waste of a human and running The Estate with him. When Aaron finds out what his father has done, he takes Madeleine into his protection so that she isn't thrown to his father's men as an Estate house whore.My first major problem with this book came in the form of the writing. The only editing complaint I had was the switch of perspective as to which character was speaking and when. A lot of times a chapter started with Madeleine speaking only to change in the next paragraph to someone else. The thing that drove me freaking nuts most is that this book seemed to be written for people from the Middle Ages. It's like the author was writing for the Knights of the Round Table except this book was based in modern day times. It felt like every other line I was rolling my eyes at the absurdity of how someone was saying something. In my opinion, for a book to be amazing it doesn't have to be written to perfection. It doesn't have to be flowery or over the top. It just has to have a captivating story that makes me want to read it. I felt like this author disguised a shitty story with over detailing everything and ridiculous dialogue. If your story is good I will be able to see it. Stop deep throating me your vocabulary.Examples of the ridiculous writing:"This sight is enough for even a man of my status to grow nervous in your presence. I'm awed by the swiftness of your hand, Aaron. Great per obviously resides within a man of so few words.""You are correct, my old friend. It is only the executioner who so thoroughly enjoys the scent of spilled blood."Aaron moved quickly into his closet, emerging with a long strop of chocolate brown cloth, a silk scarf worn by men of esteem, of wealth.As the story went on, I realized that Aaron is a giant Ahole. That's not even a bad enough word to describe him. He is a piece of shit, but even scummier than that. There are no redeeming qualities to this guy. He blames Madeleine for getting his c*ck hard and for disobeying an order. He then proceeds to tell her he is about to go bang someone else so that he can empty his c*ck. Aaron goes to a woman named Emily whom he uses to get off. She is pretty much a glorified house whore for The Estate, but Aaron F's her because she can take the pain. He takes Emily in the a$$ because he wants it to be virgin tight because he really wants his c*ck in Madeleine's virgin snatch. When he finishes screwing her she is unhappy he is leaving her for his new slave and starts to get upset. In response Aaron beats her bloody and then takes a knife and gives her a jagged cut on her pretty little face. I don't understand why the author vilified Emily in this book. Yes, she was a whore. Yes, she slept with men for attention and money.... but did she deserve to be treated so badly because she wanted Aaron's attention? NO! Aaron is a freaking psychopath. Not only does he scar up Emily's face so that she is unwanted by other men, in a later part of the book, he takes pleasure in killing her slowly as more payback. WHAT. THE. FLIP?"I'll leave you bound while I go find that which I would not allow you, while I relieve myself on someone who deserves the sting of my bite, the pleasure of my c*ck as I rid myself of the poison you have left within me."Aaron is the executioner at The Estate. He is in charge of killing whomever it is that needs to be killed. I felt like Aaron was bi-polar. He is loving, then he's nuts. One moment he is killing/gutting people and screwing  whores and then the next he is trying to take over The Estate. I got whiplash from all the back and forth. Towards the end of the book there is a scene where Aaron's father makes him kill all the whores in the house and forces Madeleine to watch. Not only does Aaron have to kill all these women but the dad makes him disembowel them. As in cut their stomachs open and let their intestines and organs fall to the floor.... Wait it gets worse. Then the dad makes Madeleine clean it all up. This scene really has no bearing on the story. There could have been a thousand other ways to create the emotions Aaron needed to feel. I really felt while reading this book that this scene and similar ones were created for shock value. Parts of this story just felt like gore to me. It was like watching a Texas Chainsaw movie... no real substance: just gore for the sake of reaction from the audience.Madeleine was a terrible character. One minute she is weak and fragile, then the next minute she has a backbone. Then out of nowhere she wants Aaron to get vengeance against his father for her. At one point in the book, Aaron helps her escape and gives her a chance at freedom... but what does the dumb girl do? She says that she wants revenge and doesn't want to leave. And OF COURSE she's in love with him. I just didn't get it. How could she possibly feel anything for a guy like him? I could only roll my eyes at the author's attempt to make them connect.The sex wasn't worth it. Yes, there were a couple of scenes, but I didn't give a damn. These characters were underdeveloped due to the overly wordy descriptions in the story. There wasn't enough time dedicated to their relationship to make me want them together, or even to be happy that two freaking idiots found each other.70% of this book could have been deleted and I still would have been able to follow the story and understand what was going on. There are descriptions on top of descriptions of every single room she is in. The wall colors, the carpeting, the chandeliers. I was taken out of the moment so many times because I just wanted her to shut the flip up about the interior design. If this book was meant to create talk then I guess it did its job. But this book sure as hell wasn't written based on any kind on romantic relationship. This book is for shock value at best. I wanted to stop reading at about 30% in, but the 4 star ratings kept me wanting to see what I was missing. I don't know what everyone else read... but I was disappointed.This book worked me over emotionally because I was so irritated with the style of writing and the idiocy of the characters. I was never gripped by the characters or the story. I am tired of authors trying to shock me into loving a book. For those of you who see the books I 5 star, nine times out of ten they are messed up. I love when a story is dark. I love something twisted and sinister. I love a book that will push the envelope and make me think... but this book just made me want to punch a baby. The End.
