Mad World by Hannah McBrideMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review.
Wowzas! I am insanely in love with this book!! From the very beginning, I loved Maddie and I loved this story. It's not your normal storyline with twins split at birth, and I feel that Maddie did a fantastic job rolling with the punches and surviving in a crazy, messed up world she willingly walked into. Honestly, even though her life was pretty crappy, she was ALMOST free, and I don't think I would have deviated my plans for a chance to be in a rich lifestyle. Because I know the rich lifestyle is never how it looks, and that kind of pressure would have intimidated the heck out of me.
I am glad she was able to find some people to be friends with, but boy, Maddie is one trusting girl. With her history and her past, you think her guard would be up at all times. But I think the glam and glory of the new possibilities got to her and let her defenses down a bit. I'll give my girl the benefit of the doubt.
And Ryan. Boy, do I have mixed feelings about him. Yes, he's smoldering, he's intense, he's powerful. But he jumps to conclusions, won't listen worth a darn, and it's his way or the high way. He can destroy someone with a single look (not really, but pretty close to accurate, I'd say) and having that kind of control can really mess with a person. I think Maddie is perfect for him, but he let's society determine his actions, and as a person in power, you can't let that happen. So the ending was really gut wrenching for me to watch, seeing traps set and ensnare characters.
This book is a pretty hefty book - but you honestly fly through the pages and are done so quickly, you will be left wanting more and more. I cannot wait for the next book in the series, and I know this is going to be a book, a series, I'm going to want to re-read over and over again to feel all of the emotions that oozed out of these pages! I love it so much!
