Censored Soul by Anne Malcom

5.0

It has been quite awhile since I’ve read a MM book and I honestly do need to be in the mood, but when we learned that Noah was going to be getting his book, I knew I needed to read it. This novella of Noah and Gideon was amazing!!! The pain Noah was in was so heartbreaking! Even though his bandmates knew something was up with him, no one really understood the amount of pain he was in and I think that is what made it so much worse! He was definitely on a downward spiral and after the most unimaginable incident, he fell to rock bottom. The healing he needed from his childhood to the present was long and so very difficult. But with the support from his friends (one took a bit longer, which was warranted) and the amazing relationship he developed with Gideon, he was able to slowly dig himself out.

I absolutely loved this story so much. Like in many of Anne Malcom’s books, it is not for the faint of heart. Both Noah and Gideon were so damaged because of outside influences, and it tortured their souls but to finally see the peace and happiness they give each other definitely made it all worth it. Another fantastic story from one of my favorite authors!
