I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.Woah, what did I just read!?!! I knew going into Joseph Fallen, that it was going to be a doozy and that there would be no happy ending, but even knowing that, I also knew that I was going to get a crazy awesome story simply because it was written by M.S. Willis. I am completely blown away and find myself appreciating the story of Madeleine, Abducted, book 1, even more.After Madeleine, Abducted I was very curious to know how The Estate came to be and how an individual could be so fracking twisted. Well, I got my answers and most of them were entirely painful. Don't get me wrong there is a slice of light in this otherwise dark tale, but it is small and you have to have read Madeleine, Abducted to really grasp it.Joseph was one twisted crazy individual, what was interesting to me was seeing how he got to where we see him in Madeleine, Abducted. How he went mad was slow but inevitable and it was very sad to see it progress. Arianna, was a woman living in a hellishly impossible situation. I really liked her and desperately wanted her to find her own slice of happiness, in the end I think that she was the strongest one of them all. The writing was definitely on the wall for these characters.I would strongly suggest that you read Madeleine, Abducted before reading this book, I am really glad that I knew what I knew before reading this book. I really don't want to give spoilers about Joseph Fallen but I will say this much, brace yourselves, because this is not a happily ever after romance full of erotica level sex. This is a sad and tragic story about the downfall of a man who deeply loved his wife but wanted power and money more and in turn twisted his love into something dark and horrible.Originally posted on Me, Myself & Books Blog
