Star Rating: 4 starsHeat Rating: Dark, Intense, Gritty HOT!Madeleine, Abducted is one of those books that you almost feel dirty reading and enjoying, but at the end you don't care what it says about yourself because the story was just that damn good (messed up and very disturbing, but good).  This story won't be for everyone, it was violent, raw, degrading, intense but more than that, it is a powerful story that will  leave you reeling.  M.S. Willis is a fantastic writer, I have read and enjoyed all of her books and I truly believe this woman can create stories that will linger on your mind and in your heart for days (if not weeks) afterwards.  Her talent at story-telling is amazing.Madeleine, Abducted will not be for everyone.  This book goes beyond a dark, erotic novel and explores depravity, rape and power hungry men mixed with insanity and violence.  There were points that I even cringed (and that takes a lot!) and almost had to stop reading to take a break from the all the turmoil.  I know, it sounds bad but when you get past the dark you see the lightness shining out from this story and you get to experience how one woman can change the people around her and eventually, an entire network.M.S. Willis proves to me me, again, that she is a master at story-telling; she creates strong characters and describes such brutal circumstances so realistically that you almost forget you are reading a book not watching a movie.  What is most fascinating about Madeleine, Abducted is that it wraps you up so completely in a dark story, but gives you glimpses of moments so beautifully touching that you can't help but become lost in this world craving more lightness.  I found myself stunned, shocked, horrified and hopeful many times during this story. It takes talent to take such a dark tale with characters that are drowning in evil and make the reader root for them, hoping that they will be able to find their way out of all the darkness, and M.S. Willis has this talent.This is definitely a story you need to read without being spoiled, so I am not going to talk about the characters or plot.  If you can handle dark, erotic novels with a level of violence that are typically found in horror books, then I highly recommend Madeleine, Abducted.  M.S. Willis is an instant buy author for me and with this new series it still proves true; I will read (and truly enjoy) anything she writes.
