Archer’s Voice
Author: Mia Sheridan
Trope: Slow Burn, Small Town
Point of view: Dual, First person
In a nutshell: When Bree Prescott arrives in the sleepy, lakeside town of Pelion, Maine, she hopes against hope that this is the place where she will finally find the peace she so desperately seeks. On her first day there, her life collides with Archer Hale, an isolated man who holds a secret agony of his own. A man no one else sees. Archer's Voice is the story of a woman chained to the memory of one horrifying night and the man whose love is the key to her freedom. It is the story of a silent man who lives with an excruciating wound and the woman who helps him find his voice. It is the story of suffering, fate, and the transformative power of love.
Content warning: Recovering from trauma, abuse
What I thought: I’ve got to be straight. This book wrecked me. It is a highly emotional read and will tear you apart but put you back together again. This is a story of two people living with trauma and slowly healing together. This is not your typical love story, and thank goodness it’s not. This is so much more, a story full of patience, understanding, kindness, friendship, respect and ultimately love. A phenomenal book and worth your time to read (and reread).
