Release Day/Excerpt: Joseph Fallen By M.S.Willis


Book Description:

There is a fine line between genius and madness…
Between love and hate,

Between right and wrong.


Joseph had created The Estate for her…
His wife,
The woman he chose to bear his child.
She was beauty unsurpassed;
And her song was unlike anything he’d ever known.



However, their love was a story that would not find a happy ending.


In this prequel novel to the Estate series, follow Joseph Carmichael as he creates a world unlike any other. Because, in order to comprehend The Estate, you must understand Joseph; but, in order to understand Joseph, you must discover how a man falls from light into the pitch black depths of ultimate darkness.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Excerpt
He stood motionless around her, the heat of his body, his scent, bathing her as she waited – the broken promise and the reminder of who her husband had been was dangled before her in that moment, a dream she would never capture again.  He looked like Joseph, smelled like him, carried the same unspoken power and assurance – but he was no longer the man she’d believe him to be.
His jaw ticked, and when his sculpted lips finally opened, his voice brushed against her, seductive as silk, while, at the same time, sharp as the most lethal of blades.
The words spoken were so slow, so frightfully controlled, that there was no doubt they were the undeniable truth.  “When I married you, and on our wedding night, I promised you two things, Arianna – that you were mine and that I would do whatever was necessary to give you everything you could ever want.”  His eyes closed as he winced, his face appearing to battle against pain of the thoughts pounding against his skull.  “I have not broken those promises, so do not break yours. Do not threaten to leave me again.  There is no where on this Earth that you could run, that I would not hunt you down, find you, and drag you back here, chained if need be, to where you belong.”
His eyes opened.
“You are mine and I will not allow you to leave.  While I’m gone, I will leave Connor to watch over you.  He is loyal to me and will prevent any escape you attempt if you are foolish enough to try.  There is no escape from me, Arianna. You WILL accept what I have done.”

My Review
5 DARK, CAPTIVATING, HEART-WRENCHING STARS!

So when I saw the synopsis to this I thought hell yeah! dark, captivity book? Lets add that to my list.Then I got an arc *happy dance* saw the first page and the warning just got me even more excited!!

This is a story that is not meant for the faint of heart.If you are looking for inspiration, if you are looking for light, if you are looking for something that will help you sleep and dream, you've come to the wrong place.

C'mon after reading that you think..


"Madeleine didn't mind people hearing her music, she preferred not being seen, being protected withing the studia or her home, invisible to the eyes of the world."

Madeleine is a cellist,a shy quiet woman who has been sheltered all her life.She likes to stay hidden and through music she expresses herself.One night after an amazing performance where she takes center stage for the first time things change.That night changes Maddy's whole life, she will never get her sheltered life back again.

She is taken.

Abducted.
To become a slave to her master.
To only speak when told to do so.
She is taken to The Estate.


Joseph Carmichael head of The Estate, a sick, demented, disgusting human who is determined to get his son Aaron to follow in his footsteps, to have the evil consume him and for him to live The Estate lifestyle is the reason Maddy's life is flipped upside down. As Aaron is drawn to her music his father decides Maddy wrapped in a bow would be a suitable present for his son.

The last thing Aaron wants is to be like his father, an evil,sick man but he can't refuse his gift, he can't let Maddy die. Will he allow the evil to consume him?

Deep breaths, Maddy...you can do this..

Aaron has lived in The Estate since he was a child with his best friend and guard Xander..rape, slavery, abuse surrounded them.They have killed but never would they rip apart a life of an innocent and condemn them to slavery, abuse and rape.Together they have a plan to end it all..

I was intrigued and hooked on this, the story is written very well, with a slightly poetic touch to it.The characters were great I loved the light and darkness aspect to it.Even with all the darkness surrounding Aaron he found a way to cling to that little bit of light and Madeleine is a true survivor even with all the lightness she brings to Aaron's life there is much more to her.She is a strong woman who adapts to her traumatic life situation and learns to live, learns to rule and learns to carry on no matter what happens.

"Although it is easy to scream for a victim to run or fight when you see them in a movie or read about them in a book, the futility of the situation is far more evident when you find yourself in their place."

This book is in Maddy, Aaron and even some bits from Xander's POV. I didn't really understand why Xander's POV was required at the start I was worried it would turn into a love triangle, which I would have hated so yeah so glad when that wasn't the case. The next book is on Xander! Yay can't wait!!

"Although it is easy to scream for a victim to run or fight when you see them in a movie or read about them in a book, the futility of the situation is far more evident when you find yourself in their place."

Bravo M.S.Willis you have done an excellent job on this one!
So dark, disturbing book lovers this one is for you, go grab it ;)
