Taken by Natasha KnightMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
If you are familiar with Natasha Knight's books then you know she likes to play with the darkness in her stories. With Taken, first book of the Dark Legacy Duet, she took matters way farther, sending me spiralling down all along with Helena.
With each new generation of the Willow quadruplets daughters, the elder Scafoni son chooses the one who will be his to torment and do as he pleases for the next year, before passing her off to his brothers.
One of the first things to came to my mind when I'm writing my review is that it's is one of these books I absolutely loved to hate. The emotions it evoked in me were very strong and painful, yet I loved them and couldn't stop reading with eyes, I can imagine, wide like saucers.
Sebastian is a hero (or should I say, villain?) who could be Jethro or Tony's brother. Do you see what I mean? Ruthless and merciless, he takes great pleasure in Helena's distress. The thing is that there is also that mystery surrounding him, his complex personality I couldn't decipher, which intrigued me.
The author explored with a poignant realism the heroine's emotions, propelling me into the depth of Sebastian's sadism. I felt everything she felt, every humiliation or beating hitting me in the gut. I wanted to rebel and cover, to scream and lash out. Omg, I was so spent by the intensity of this story! Hot, cold, up, down, I was as disoriented as the strong and resilent Helena.
But the strong emotions aren't the only thing that compelled me: the tight plot kept me on the edge of my seat from the get-go, glued to the pages, looking for some revelations or deeds that would eventually explain everything and make it all better. Did I find my answers? You'll have to find out by yourself but let me tell you that the ending was explosive and left me with my heart pounding. Fortunately for me, book #2, is coming very soon!!!
Enjoy the ride ladies!

I’m one of four Willow daughters.
He’s the first-born son of the Scafoni family. And we have history.
For generations, the Scafoni family have demanded a sacrifice of us. A
virgin daughter to atone for sins so old, we don’t even remember what they are
anymore.
But when you have as much money as they do, you don’t play by the rules.
You make them.
And Sebastian Scafoni makes all the rules.
The moment I saw him, I knew he would choose me. Even though the mark on
my sheath declared me unclean. Even though my beautiful sisters stood beside
me, offered to him, he still chose me.
He made me his.
And then he set out to break me.
