MY REVIEW:
CAUTION: ADULT CONTENT NOT MEANT FOR ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18
Every child disagrees with their parents. Every child argues and fights with their parents. But for Madison Grace Wescott, childhood is a whole different Hell on Earth.
Madison grew up as the daughter of Baptist Preacher Wescott, who took the Name of the Lord to a whole new level. Madison's father has her convinced she is a sinner and at the tender young age of 15, she is already damned to hell.
Madison has no clue as to why...more

Madison's Life Lessons is actually a prequel to Gracen's Road to Hell Series. It may be "out of order", but I read this book first. I was immediately sucked into the story. I actually had not read anything about the book before I started it and am so glad that I read it blind. I am going to try really hard not to give any spoilers. I found myself really engrossed in the characters and even routing for the "bad guy". Immediately after finishing this book, I ordered and read the next book in the s...more
I started to read this story because I wanted to win a Pandora’s Box by Gracen and reading these lessons was one of the conditions of winning. But the story has totally gripped me and now I think I would have read it, if this wasn’t a part of any games and there weren’t any prizes.
The story starts as an ordinary love story. There is a young, beautiful girl, Madison, who has very strict parents, including a chaplain father. Madison can’t measure up to his father’s standards, she tries futilely….

This book made me want to read more....and I will with book one.
I felt that the whole book was permeated with this sense of dread, like something truly evil will happen the next page. But nothing really evil happens.
I put it in my paranormal shelf for that reason, not because anything paranormal happens. Just little hints that actually do not explain anything, but you just get this feeling that things are not what they appear to be.
The story is simple: an adolescent girl, psycologically abused by her father and neglected by her mother, falls in love with a c...more

I kept hearing about this book series from my three dear friends: Candace, Kathryn and Kelly. They kept going on and on an on ..... OMG, you think they liked it or something!! *HAHA* So, I caved and read this book first because the girls told me it was prequel to the series.

This is the prequel, to The Road to Hell Series. And it is one damn good book, that I could not put down.
Madison's Life Lessons is about Madison and how she met Micah, what her family life was like. This story takes place when she was fifteen, and takes up to when she married Micah and details about their married life.
Gracen Miller is the Queen of Hell, and I mean this in a good way or should I say bad way :D. She has now had me go from loving Nix and hating Micah. To where now I have a soft sp...more

This is (I believe) the beginning of The Road to Hell series...which was the type of short story that sucks you in and makes you want to continue down the road...I guess-to hell. ;) There is just enough information to get your mind rolling as to where this will all lead...I'll find out in the next book!
Gracen Miller does a great job in developing the characters, while not giving you all the information or history needed. She did such a good job, I found myself wanting to kill Madison's "parents"...more

Micah was a dream come true, especially for Madison who grew up in a very religious home with a strict father. Madison had seen more in her older teen years with her mother than any young adult should want to see. She falls in love with Micah a man that can give her everything should could ever dream of having in a lifetime and more. There is something sinister about him but she can't figure it out, thinking it's all her. One day, after she has had their son, Micah walks out of their lives with...more

Only one word can summarize Madison's Life Lessons on the Road to Hell: AMAZING! Once again, Gracen Miller has woven a spectacular tale that leaves you dying for more. She does an excellent job of making us feel Madison's emotions right along with her. I read Madison's Life Lessons before I read Pandora's Box, which is book one of The Road to Hell Series. I'm glad that I did. Reading the Life Lessons really helped me to understand Madison's actions and reactions in Pandora's Box.

Madison’s Life Lessons is a prequel in the Road to Hell series by Gracen Miller. It gives us insight into Madison’s life growing up and shows us how and why she fell in love with Micah. We get to meet Madison’s parents and step into the world she was raised in. In Madison’s Life Lessons, we get to know Micah and get more insight into an otherwise hard to redeem character.

Madison's Life Lessons is a great prequel to Gracen Miller's Road to Hell series. Though you do not need it to understand what is happening in Pandora's Box, it does give you great insight as to why Madison is the way she is. What I really liked about it is that it did great job if not giving away anything that's going to happen in the first book in the Road to Hell series. If you are one of those people who likes to know a character's background, this is a great read that will be worth your whi...more
Madison’s Life Lessons started like an ordinary love story. But this book isn't just that simple. This is a story filled with intrigue, misery, romance and most of all mystery. A naive, teenage girl's journey which led her to a world that no one would want to experience. Madison's Life Lessons is an outstanding novel. And this is just the beginning.

Wow! I happened upon Pandora's Box, the first book in the series, and knew I had to read it. Then I noticed this prequel. I'm not sure how many pages are in it (I'd guess around 75?), but it was so interesting that I breezed through it, and it was so good that I went ahead and purchased Pandora's Box. This series is totally different from anything else I've ever read, and my head is full of questions that I need answered! On to Pandora's Box!
Madison's Life Lessons is a jaw-dropping, heart-stopping, gut-wrenching journey that leaves you drooling for more. The early experiences of Madison's life, creates a spark in the reader, that will solidify a connection with her that will carry on throughout the series. A fantastic, can't put the book down, real page turner type of read that I highly recommend!
Madison's Life Lessons is a magnificent start to Gracen Miller's Road to Hell Series.
From the very first page to the last you will be drawn into Madison life and eagerly awaiting each and every chapter.
If you are looking for a great read get this book you won't be disappointed. I hope you love it as much as I did.

With everything Madison has going on in her life on the Road to Hell... you can't help but wonder how it all got to this point, what happened all those years ago.... and now you know! A great insight into an amazing character. Explains so much while giving away nothing about the series itself :)
I don't know what to say. Ok, yes I do, Micah is such a sweet demon hotty, haha. *Blush and giggles* So many secrets in her family and with Micah. I just about died when it said how excited he was when he found out she was pregnant, awwww. I could go on and on about this book :D. I really don't like her parents and I would have ran away from home if they were mine. Wonderful story, great action, hoty with secrets, and much more is waiting for you in this great story. :D Thanks for letting me rea...more
I have had Pandora's Box on my TBR list for awhile but a friend told me I need to read this first. I am so glad I did because it help put the story line in perspective. I love seeing where Madison came from and how she got to be the person she is in Pandora's Box. Now I am off to finish Pandora's Box.
Wonderful! This book gives you insight as to what transpired before Book #1, Pandora's Box. It fills in any gaps in Madison's life and what makes her who she is today. Her past is very interesting. Read it! Gracen Miller Rocks!!!
I just couldn't stop reading this. I enjoyed it.
This was really interesting, and completely new to me. I just couldn't get enough, I liked that it was able to hook me.
This is the prequel to Gracen's Road to Hell Series, It details the events that led to book one, which is awesome, cause we all love a good background story.
I can honestly say that I will be starting book one like, now.

Wow! Finally decided to read this book and now I'm wondering why the heck I waited so long! Great book! I would write more about it, but I'm too eager to start the next one! ;)
Ugh! I hated it. Maybe my expectations were too high, as I had read a bunch of rave reviews. My final thought: Don't bother.

What a great prequel! I was looking for something different and I can already tell this series is just that. The prequel did a great job wetting my appetite for the rest of the ride down The Road to Hell. This has a bit of everything but the mystery portion was what sucked me in the most. I can't wait to start on book 1 and unearth all the secrets and lies surrounding Madison's life.
This is a MUST READ before jumping in to the Road To Hell Series!! LOVED it!!
Throughly good read. Now just need to buy the rest in the series. Never expected to end on such a high note
