WOW! Where to begin. This was the first book I read by M.S. Willis, and it in no way will be my last! What a phenomenal writer she is! Her words find beauty in the darkest, ugliest of places. I absolutely cannot wait to read the other books by her... I am bumping them to the top of my TBR list for when I get some free time to read "me" books. Before I had started reading Madeline, Abducted people had told me that this was a seriously dark book. Now, I LOVE me some dark books so needless to say I was extremely excited to finally be able to open this up and sink my claws into it. At first I did find it to be somewhat dark, but not as much so as I was expecting... although I was REALLY enjoying it nonetheless. Well, let me tell you one thing... First impressions are not always right. As the story progressed, things got darker and darker and  by the last 10-15% my heart was racing... twisting and turning in ways I didn't even know were possible,  and my mind was struggling to grasp on to the idea that one person could be so completely and utterly evil.Madeline was such an amazing heroine. There was not one single thing that I disliked about her (which says a lot because I almost always find something irritating in the female lead). This girl had a crazy amount of inner strength, and it was inspiring in so many ways. Her outer shell showed a tiny, shy, delicate and fragile girl, but on the inside she was like a burning fire ready to destroy anything that got in her way.Aaron was trapped in a dark place which his father brought him into. He was scary and sexy  all wrapped up in a pretty little bow, and man would I love to be able to unwrap him all for myself. Seriously, he can have me as his slave any day and you would have NO complaints from me whatsoever. His character is so complex on many different levels, and it was absolutely incredible to get to know every side of him.With Aaron's father having "gifted" Madeline to him as his slave, Aaron found his insides waging a war against each other. A war between right and wrong, which could ultimately both save and destroy at the same time. A war between the darkness, and the light.Joseph (Aaron's father) was the most twisted, dark and effed up character I have ever encountered in a book. He just dripped of pure evil with not one ounce of humanity left in his soul. He thrived on the torment and pain of others, and there was nothing he would not do if it would benefit him, or bring him amusement. The fear which he created in others was the fuel which fed his fire. Someone must not have gotten enough hugs as a child!And Xander... Aaron's closest friend and confident. He was similar to Aaron in so many ways. He didn't want to be dark, but horrible circumstances beyond his control put him in this situation, and made him a member of the Estate. He did what he had to do in order to survive, and no one ever said it would be pretty. I was completely intrigued by his character and cannot wait to see where he goes from here. I need more of Aaron and Xander, like, NOW!Madeline, Abducted was such a twisted, yet hauntingly beautiful story. It turned me inside out, broke me apart, and put my pieces back together in a way that was foreign, yet the same as it had been beforehand. It was so unbelievably vivid in it's detail that I felt like I should be watching it as a movie, not reading it in a book. One of the most common questions I have come across in the blogger world is: "What ONE book do you think should be turned into a movie?" Well, for me it is Madeline, Abducted. This is one story that will stick with me for quite a long time. This is one book to be added to your MUST MUST MUST read list!for other reviews, check out my blog: [...][...]
