A review by booklirious
The Architect of Song by A.G. Howard
5.0
"Love is inside each of us... a dormant seed. Once it has been planted, whether in the soils or the fallows, it will take root and either flourish to something beautiful and dramatic or grow dormant, content in its stasis. But there's no right or wrong season for it to bloom"
Juliet Emerline was silenced from the world at the age of six when an illness took her hearing. At Nineteen, Juliet is battling a loss that has left her stricken with grief and her sanctuary of an estate is being threatened to be bought by an Architect, Lord Nicolas Thornton. While wandering the cemetery, she stumbled upon the Architect at a grave filled with rage. When he left, Juliet found an unusual flower next to grave. Curiosity got the best of her and she took it. With the beautiful flower in her hand, she gently stroked the petal and a handsome Ghost, named Hawk appeared. In purgatory, Hawk only hears one name and its Thornton. Apparently there is more to Lord Thornton than what society deems him to be. With Hawk, Juliet will help uncover the secrets of Lord Thornton but when the truth starts to unravel, who will she trust more?
The Architect of Song was bloody brilliant. The writing was amazing, I love the Victorian dialect. It makes everything ten times more swoony from the banter and the flirting egads my heart! Although the book screams romance romance romance, it was so much more than that. The mystery between Lord Thornton and Hawk had me pulling out my thinking cap because whenever we received clues a huge twist happens and you're back at square one. A devastatingly beautiful story that kept me hooked from page one. Highly recommend :)
"It didn't matter that I couldn't hear them. For in their silence, there was a melody, sweet and pure"
The steamy scenes were a bonus, hue hue.
