The Transient
Book One of The
Castle
Trilogy by
Maree
Ward-Russell
Reviewed by R.

Our 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 mental points to a healthy life.
Ms. Maree hits
all those points 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 in this adventure.
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 England, 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. Ms. Maree Ward-Russell leaves you wanting to
read Book 2, which I will gladly purchase, as I did this one.
The novel is a
great read for young and old. I learn
something new every time I review a Young Adult book - still young at heart, I guess. If you’re too, check out Ms. Ward-
Russell’s The Transient out.
