Madeleine, Abducted by M.S. Willis is one of those stories you love and you hate. The connections between the characters are intense. This is a vicious world where only the strong survive. Joseph Carmichael is addicted to power while being eaten alive by depravity. Every scene he is in is hard to read. As I got to know Madeleine, I connected with her and was saddened by the way she isolated herself. She lived through her music soaring to great heights and able to express herself. When Madeleine becomes the next tool to destroy Joseph's son Aaron the interactions break your heart.You need to be strong to read this novel. It is intense in its depravity, confused emotions and the love. Whether you are looking at Aaron's relationship with Maddy or Xander, there is caring and protection. They say you cannot appreciate soaring to the heights if you don't understand the tragic depths. This book has both. As M.S. Willis says in the beginning, if you are looking for a happy ending or HEA, this isn't your book. If you are looking for a fabulously intense ride in a world so cruel it peals away your weaknesses and wagers your future on what is left, you will not be disappointed. Maddy and Aaron are astounding. Enjoy the ride!!ARC provided by author for a honest review
