Have you read dark books before? Yeah? I promise you, they were fluffy kittens, and newborn puppies compared to "Madeleine, Abducted". This book was the type of dark that twists you up inside. My heart hurt. My stomach hurt. My brain hurt. I put the book down. Then I picked it up again, 2 minutes later. I LOVED this book. I loved this book so much, that I finished it 4 days ago, and I am just writing this review now. Why? Because I needed to let it sink in, just a little bit more. Never in my life has my entire being been so affected by a book."Her name is Madeleine Clark, and when she was abducted, she was not only dragged into hell...She took over."^ That little gem right there, is in the ONE PAGE prologue. That one line STILL gives me chills. I was hooked, literally, from page one.Madeleine, the concert cellist, the quiet one, the recluse, the girl you want to hug. Behind that quiet little mouse, is a bad-ass bitch waiting to break through. A girl with balls of steel and almost too levelheaded for her own good."She would never be used to those words; slave, master, belong; she was now property and nothing more."Aaron, thrown into a role he would do anything to avoid. Fighting against the life he was handed. Forced to be a person that disgusts him. But, what other life does he know?"He was the kind of monster that you didn't see coming; his demeanor refined and calm so that there was no visual warning of the evil lurking within."However, Madeleine and Aaron both of the same goals in mind. A bond is formed, but not quickly, and not easily. There are still games to play, appearances to keep up with. All of which comes with a certain amount of training, that is unavoidable."His heart constricted at the thought that he would end up breaking her, possibly ruining the very thing that had brought him comfort in the unending nightmare he called life."Xander, Aaron's body guard/best friend, plays a huge role in this plan as well. I loved Xander from his first introduction. He has a horrifying story as well, which I am excited to hear more about in "Hope Restrained". But between the three of them, The Estate will never be the same."Madeleine, Abducted" is a tortured and beautiful story. Not one aspect of this book went the way I assumed it would. As usual, M. S. Willis' writing is phenomenal. She has such a way with words, that even while you are reading the torture, the death, the sorrow, you still find some sort of beauty in it. By knowing the characters through and through, you feel like you are in their heads, you know their thoughts, and it makes the hardest parts of this book just a bit easier to stomach.I honestly, cannot express how incredible this book was. Read it. Read it, like yesterday.  Just expect to feel like you have been cut open, torn apart, and slowly, oh so slowly, put back together, in the best way possible.Favorite Quote:"Dream of me, Maddy. See me as I want to be; not the nightmare who torments you, but the devoted and mystified man who worships at your feet."Read more of my reviews at [...]
