The Messenger by Pamela DuMond

4.0

*This book was given to me by Xpresso Book Tours in exchange for an honest review.*
Madeline is just a 16 years old teenager woth anxiety problems... what she doesn't know is that she's a Messenger, a soul that can surpase time and space and bring messages of vital importance to one's life..
One day she travels to the Americas, hundreds of years before her time and falls in love with Samuel, a half-native boy that she can't love because their love is forbidden by the rules of a antiquated society.
Can Madelin live an impossible love? Can she escape the deadly Hunters that try to kill her? And, most important, can she be a Messenger?
I have to start by saiyng that I came to this book with little to no knowledge of what it was about and I did not regret it!
An adventure that surpases human logic while debating the antiquated and outdated rules of society that make you appreciate what you have and also teach you about family values and how important family is to you (even if you don't know it yet).
The way the author was able to create a new and refreshing story with characters that are tangible and at the same time spiritual and timeless. We all have Maddies and Samuels inside of us and we all want to experience their kind of love and companionship.
This book is a great start for a series and I really liked the way it ended: just on the right spot, not to soon that you were sad but soon enough that you urgently need to read the next installment.
If you like timeless journeys and a breathtaking learning experience about society's values with history and love in the mix, in a way that is so well blend together that you can't distinguish reality from fiction, then this book is right for you.
