This is the prequel to Madeleine
Abducted (The Estate, #1).
This is the story of Joseph and Arianna
Carmicheal, Aarons parents.
This book is not for the faint of heart. It
is dark and gritty and full of sadness and disappointment.
Because I loved book 1 so much, I had to
read this and know more about the madness of The Estate.
The story
started out with the newlyweds Joseph and Arianna. Told in third person view,
it tells us of a time when Joseph is still human and has feelings and how his obsession
made him become the vile creature that he is until his death. The story tells
us of how his madness came to be and how it affected Arianna.
The story
was heavy all throughout and the only redemption we get is by the end of the
book when Arianna gave Joseph the final blow to his sanity.
This is a
really good supplement to the series. Now we know more about Aaron and Xander.
How they came to be and we get to know that Arianna is nothing like Joseph.
Oh and
before I forget, I really liked the cover of this book because it is relevant
to the story, it is actually one of the scenes in the story. Read it to find
out.
I cannot
wait to read about Xander’s life in the sequel Hope Restrained (The Estate # 2)
coming out hopefully within this month.
