I couldn't put this book down once I started it.  Ms. Willis weaves a story that takes us from the blackest evil to the purest light in seconds and we never know what path we are on.  Once I had finished the book the only word I could use for a while is WOW when thinking of the story and characters.Maddy was living her life as a cello player and performing in concerts.  Little did she know the attention she was drawing from one man would be enough to make her the pawn in one of the most evil games I have ever seen written.  A father whose mind is so far gone, uses Maddy to break his own son.  In a environment where love was not easily found, Maddy had to reach deep within herself to sort out the new emotions that became the norm for her life.  Where it would of been easy for her to give up and die, she continued to find the strength to go one more day, till that strength became fire to survive and win.Aaron hates his father and knows this game all to well.  He knows what is expected of him and what the rules are, but what he doesn't know is how to protect Maddy while he tries to rid the world of the evil, his father.  The Estate is set up for his fathers satisfaction, not only in the sexual department but in every other area of his fathers needs.  If he turns his back on Maddy, she will become a sex slave and soon be killed.  If he plays the game he is going to have to hurt and use Maddy, which makes him ill to even think about.  If it wasn't for his friend and body guard he would be alone in this world, until he realizes Maddy's wishes aren't as different as his.Ms. Willis draws us into a world we can't even imagine on our own.  So many times we forget who the good guy and the bad guy is because we are in such turmoil ourselves while reading.  I will give a warning now, this book isn't for the light weights.  If you are wanting a happy ever after this isn't for you, but if you love being sucked into a world of darkness and evil and not knowing which way is out for a while then you have a winner.  It is intense, deep, dark and powerful, just as most of her books are.  Watching Maddy sort out her feelings and decide that the best choice could be her last choice brought me to a point I wanted to scream and hide myself.  Reading Aaron give up his soul to save Maddy made me cry and hate him, but I couldn't hate him for long because I understood what he was doing.  It ripped my heart out watching him do whatever it took to save her life.  I think if you want an intense ride, this is the book to give that to you.  I LOVE this book, even if it did take me days to recover from it.
