Taken (Dark Legacy Duet #1) by Natasha Knight

BLURB

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.
 
*ARC received in exchange for an honest review*
I thought the premise sounded intriguing and a change in mafia type romance stories. This book turned out to be just as exciting and mysterious as I would have liked for it to be. The author gave just enough background on the characters for readers to be able to connect with them and enough breadcrumbs to the mystery to leave readers wanting more.

I had thought that Sebastian was going to be a one dimensional character but I was pleasantly surprised as the book went on. He wasn't a very kind or pleasant person but had a cleverness and further reasoning behind his darkness than I had first suspected. I wouldn't say that I liked him per say but he was a very intriguing character. His brother Gregory holds my attention easily in the book as well. I thought that the author did a great job of making him mysterious while giving readers breadcrumbs as to who he is. It was easy to like Helena as she felt like the only character to clearly root for within the madness of the deal between their two families. She tries to keep being brave and to fight even though she is a prisoner.

I want to know more about Sebastian's family in the next book because one of the aspects of this book that kept me reading was the family dynamic. It was uncomfortable and tense between them. I had a feeling that things would escalate but I want to know the secrets and the motivations of the family members. I'm also interested in learning more about Helena's family and why they continue to go along with the deal.
