review 1: The TransientBook One of The CastleTrilogy byMaree Ward-RussellReviewed by R. MurryThe five senses: sight, taste, touch, hearing and smell are very important to our livelihood as human beings. We can’t live happily unless they’re functioning correctly. Add in love and I think you have hit all the bases to a healthy life. Ms. Maree hits all the bases with words. She writes in a way that you use all your senses with emotion, while reading this paranormal suspense for Young Adults. However, us adults – I’m 64, will enjoy the turmoil that the main character Melody goes through.Melody falls in love as a seventeen year old. There’s nothing new in that. We all have had our first loves. From her home in the Pacific, she and her father move to a castle in New Engl... moreand, U.S.A., where she gets her first taste of another world.Her new adventure includes three delightfully diverse teenagers, who become her close friends. The other main character is a Transient. You’ll have to read the novel to get a correct explanation as to what one is. I’ll just say, not to give away the ghostly tale, is an image of a man that Melody falls in love with, as he does her. Teenagers- go figure? This story has all the ingredients that keep the reader on their toes. You’re always looking around the corners to see what lurks. All your senses will be used in reading this adventure. Ms. Maree Ward-Russell leaves you wanting to read Book 2, which I will gladly purchase, as I did this one.The novel was a great read for young and old. I learn something new every time I review a YA book - still young at heart, I guess. If you’re too, check Ms. Ward- Russell’s The Transient out.
review 2: How have I not read this book!!!! I absolutely loved it. Thestory focuses on a young girl, moved from pillar to post by her father from an early age. She has never made friends or settled in one place until a relative leaves them a castle that is now run as a bed and breakfast. Her father promises that this will be the last move and they will make this their home. Watching from a far is Joseph who has been isolated for far too long and longs for company. The relationship that forms is just amazing, it is so tender and innocent, a joy to read but also I loved the friendships he forms with her new found friends. The Christmas lunch with all of them is precious and so funny it just turns to mayhem. However this is not just a romance, it has a strong, dangerous storyline that puts all their lives at risk but it is just the beginning. If I was to make one suggestion it would be to leave the prologue, to me it felt like reading the end of the story at the beginning. I would recommend this book highly it is beautifully described and completely absorbs you in the story, I long for the next one. less
