** I recieved an ARC of this book for an honest review**

Madam X was a contined story that followed the life of a mysterious ex-Madam, Desdemonda. I went into this book with high expectations of the author and the story she sought out to tell. I will say 25% into the book and the mental back and forth the main character as well as the story unfolding really dragged for me and I fought to continue until the end. My intrigue of Madam X and the possibility of something happening kept me reading but the high points were not exciting enough for me. I can tell this is a seasoned and talented writer, this story however just didn't my expectations.
