I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.Wow, I didn't know that M.S. Willis had that in her. Surpassing my expectations, Madeleine, Abducted was incredibly beautiful while being darkly decadent. It was stunning and didn't pull it's punches with the horror of what was happening at The Estate.When Madeleine, a brilliantly talented musician is kidnapped and introduced to the world of The Estate. She becomes apart of a very dangerous game between the crazy man that rules and his son, the assassin, who desperately wants to take his father down. Right off the bat Madeleine was consistently likable and I couldn't help but root for her. Stronger than she appears, she was meant to be Aaron's destruction but instead she breaks thru his walls, bringing a light that had been missing. I loved every second of it.I really loved Aaron and being able to know what he was thinking was an important part of why I loved him. That being said, he isn't a good man, don't get me wrong he is good to her, eventually.  He is her good man but to everyone else he is scary, lethal and dangerous. With an edge to him that is never completely tempered, he does bad things, he is good at them and he doesn't really apologize for being the assassin, which I really liked.Which brings me to Aaron's best friend and right hand man, Xander. I really, really liked him. Like major book crush like him. I liked how he was with Madeleine and his friendship with Aaron was great. I can't wait for his book.Overall, I knew that I would love this book but I didn't know that I would LOVE it, and I definitely didn't expect for it to go where it went. M.S. Willis is an extremely talented author and is definitely on my automatic read list. If you are looking for a book that has amazing writing, some fantastic characters and a story that drives you to continue reading til' you reach the very end. Then Madeleine, Abducted is the book for you. Go check it out, it's amazing.Originally posted on Me, Myself & Books Blog
