"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."
Told in alternating views, mostly of Madeleine, Aaron and Xander.
Although it is captivating and thrilling, this book is not for the faint of heart. There is violence, gore, brutality, slavery, greed and utter madness.
Aaron and Xander are both hot characters but are not the usual hero we read about. They come from the dark side, meaning they are killers and they are definitely not out typical good guy. The hero is Aaron and Xander is his loyal bodyguard.
This is the first book in The Estate Series and it focuses on Aaron. The next book is about Xander.
The setting is an estate ruled by Aaron's father. The ruler has gone mad and really brutal and the son has become sick of it. There was a scene where it became really hard to read and fathom.
The story is also about Aaron and Maddy and how their struggle to fight for the love they feel for each other. I felt their connection at first, even before Maddy was abducted and i felt how strongly they feel about each other.
Initially i thought there's a love triangle between Aaron, Maddy and Xander but the connection of Aaron is Maddy is so strong that any character would have felt wrong for her.
The book reminded me of The Black Dagger Brotherhood series because of the power struggle and the muse behind the king. Only this has more violence and mature topic because of the use of slaves. And it also had a somewhat erotic feel to it but not really that high. There were only a few love scenes and it was heart felt and a breath of fresh air from the heavy topic.
This book is recommended to those who enjoy reading action packed books with a bit of romance, but be reminded of the dark topic underneath.
