The Messenger is a time-travel YA series. The book is done well and kept me wanting to know what was happening next.
First, the plot is riveting. The whole soul mate thing was an added twist that I didn’t even think about while reading, and I was pleased as the relationship between Samuel and Madeline grew.
A few other characters shaped Madeline’s life, whether for good or evil, but it did seem like there were quite a few villains. I did not trust anyone.
This period is not one that I have read about before. Samuel is half-Native American, which adds to the suspense. Pamela DuMond does not rush into the romance in this book, and she takes it slow. I thought this was not only refreshing but also more realistic.
I am looking forward to reading the following books of the series because I want to find out what will happen to the main characters.
