A Gothic Romance

The Architect of Song by A.G. Howard

This was the book that came in my September Lit-Cube, which was curated by the author herself. Not sure why it took me so long to read, as the book is quite good. I guess I am just not feeling like myself, as I usually get through at least a book a week, and this has not been the case since school started.

At any rate, I highly recommend this new adult book.

Juliet just lost her mother. Juliet is deaf, and has been since she was eight years old, when she contracted an illness that also took her father. Her uncle helped raise her, and now he is pushing for her to marry a viscount who wants her house. Juliet is not happy about this, and plans to do everything she can to keep this from happening.

I need to back up a smidge.

While at the cemetery for her mother's funeral, Juliet wanders and finds a man who is trying to get into the grave area of a man named Hawk. The man is angry. There is an unusual flower planted at the grave. Juliet digs it up, and discovers that the petals of this flower allow her to see the ghost of the man who is buried there.

Juliet finds that she is in love with this ghost who has some unfinished business. She also finds that she ultimately likes, and maybe even loves, the man who was intent on taking her house. How will she juggle these two loves, and what mysteries surround the two of them?
