* I received a free copy of the book from the author in exchange for an honest review. All opinions contained within this review are mine. They are my thoughts and are in no way related to the fact that I received said book for free.*When I first heard about this book I knew it was one that I had to read. This book is dark, it has some difficult subject matter in it that may not be for everyone and the ending is not a typical “Happy Ever After.”This book had me at the Prologue…it sucks you in. The last sentence propels you forward. If you had any doubts about whether you would continue reading it, this last sentence cements your decision to keep reading.“Her name is Madeleine Clark, and when she was abducted, she was not only dragged into hell….She took over.”The book was pretty fast paced and the storyline progressed nicely. The characters were well-developed. Madeleine and Aaron’s relationship was a surprise for me. I didn’t think it would take on the twist and turns that it did. I was pulling for Aaron the entire book, hoping he didn’t lose himself anymore, than he already had. I hated Aaron’s father so much. It’s obvious that he is a horrible, twisted, depraved soul….but the lengths that he goes to, to torment people (even his own son) is just unbelievable. I would like to have known what really caused him to be the way he was…to have an insight to his sick and twisted mind. Xander, he is the reason (well one of the main reasons) I kept reading. I would like to have seen more from him…I know the story is about Madeleine (and Aaron) but there is something about Xander that stuck with me. He doesn’t seem to fit into “The Estate.”The only thing that I really didn’t like about the book was that you didn’t really get much insight to why “The Estate” was started. Overall the book was a great read and I will recommend it to anyone looking for a darker read.”*This review is also done in conjunction with Nerd Girl Official.
