Oh.my.GodO_o !!!!!!!!Only minutes after reading the Prologue to this book, I was a MESS! I expected DARK, but never in a million years did I expect DARKNESS of this kind. I got heart palpitations, a sleepless night and a book hangover that I had to treat with a sweet fluffy read afterwards. This book completely INTOXICATED me! I usually don't read dark romance books, but I have to admit that since I reviewed my first one last month, I added a couple to my TBR list. From the moment I saw this book on my Goodreads feed, I knew that I wanted to read it. From the book cover to the blurb everything about this book was telling me to add it to my TBR list.Madeleine is living a quiet existence and loves losing herself in her music. It's her way to escape reality. On a night that she will never forget she meets mysterious Aaron Carmichael who claims to be an admirer of hers. After their encounter, Madeleine never imagined seeing Aaron ever again. On her way home from the concert she is abducted by Joseph Carmichael, Aaron's father, and the man behind The Estate. He ''gifts'' Madeleine to his son for his birthday. Aaron is livid that his father would fall so low and he is obliged to take Madeleine as his slave for fear that far worse things could happen to her.From the very beginning to the very end this book kept me on the edge of my seat! I actually had to put it down with two chapters to go. I'll admit it, I was freakin' scared of what would happen at the end. My stomach was in knots! The author did a PHENOMENAL job at bringing us a story that is so heavy, deep, raw, twisted, but most of all eye-opening. It was beautiful to see that even in the darkest place, there is always light. My favorite part of the book is the scene that you see on the book cover. This is where the story turns around.Madeleine is a true WARRIOR. What she goes through from the moment she is abducted is horrible!!! Images of disturbing scenes are stuck in my head. I have never read anything this dark! I had a hard time with Aaron at the beginning. I still can't forgive him for some stuff he did to Madeleine. Aaron is an executioner and he's not afraid of getting blood on his hands. He knows that he's on the edge of darkness and he shows Madeleine his true colors. From every humilation she gets stronger, for every painful moment she endures her need for revenge is bigger. From a world of darkness emerges a woman with a determination that just blew me away! Aaron did end up winning my vote by the end of this book. Madeleine took over his heart and made him want more.I have to give a special mention to Xander, Aaron's best friend, he is one intriguing character. I loved him from the beginning! Even if he did do some wrong things along the way, I always wanted to read more about him. Watch out for his story it's the next one in The Estate Series. I can't wait to read it :)Joseph Carmichael is getting his own book. A story about how The Estate began. I don't know how I'm going to read that book, but I have to absolutely find out how he became this sick, twisted, disgusting human being!I give Madeleine, Abducted by M.S. Willis 5 Huge, dark, phenomenal, raw, captivating, eye-opening, heart-stopping stars! I will NEVER forget this book! I am so happy that I stepped out of my comfort zone and gave this book a try!
