5.0

Brilliant!

In this case I firmly believe that Nicky James is the Maestro. Her ability to weave words together creates a vivid vibrant picture and for this beautiful romance, the picture comes even more alive with the use of music. Whether it be written musical notes, performed musical notes or random musical notes hummed quietly under one’s breath. 

Niles and August are superb, imperfect, flawed and strongly developed characters with plenty of baggage who find themselves bouncing around each other in the music rooms of a private high school. Their story is not an easy one with plenty of uncertainties and doubts both from internal and external factors and the angst that this author is well known for. Niles and August had to overcome a fair few hurdles before they got their well deserved and hard earned HEA. It was a bit of a rollercoaster that gave me plenty of feel’s throughout leaving me relieved, happy and super smiley at the end. 

“Symphony of Salvation is the story of growth and self acceptance. It’s a depiction of a love I never knew could exist.” - August
