Archer’s Voice By Mia Sheridan

Archer’s Voice by Mia Sheridan is a story of two people, both very different and yet bound by one similarity. They are both broken and have faced great trauma in their lives which has forced them to live in fear. What happens when they cross paths and fall in love with each other is what Mia Sheridan sensitively and with heart wrenching frankness narrates in this novel where she raises the question “Is love enough?”.

I had been hearing so much about this book from quite sometime and while this made me really inquisitive, I also got a bit fearful of what would happen if I didn’t like it! It’s always a shame when I don’t like a book that majority of my reader buddies have already swooned over.

However, here in this case, I am so so happy to say that I absolutely, without question adored Archer’s Voice. It is one of the best books that I have read in quite sometime. A unique story that made a deep impression on my mind, I know I can re-red this book.

The cover is arresting and intriguing with a fine specimen of a man on the front. LOL

But it was the title and the blurb that really had me picking up this book up after I had already heard so many good things about it. It is both interesting with that balance of mystery and promise of a good heartfelt romance plus it also creates an urgency in the reader to go read the book.

This was the first book by Mia Sheridan that I read but I have already fallen in love with her writing. She has beautifully balanced mystery with romance and made me laugh, sniffle, be so angry that I felt like smacking a few characters in the book, cry my eyes out and then smile and sigh deeply like a love struck teenager, all in the span of one story.

Brutally honest, Mia depicts a scenario that looks all too true. She doesn’t try to gloss over the cruelty of mankind and society when they scorn everyone and everything they don’t understand, focussing on the fact that people never dare to go against the society and rarely once try to take up that courage to really stand out and try to understand.

The author’s writing style is simple, engaging and elicits emotions so beautifully that I felt like everything was happening to me first hand. All through, I felt this urgency to make things right for Archer and Bree and when a few times in the book, I thought something drastic had happened to these beloved characters, it was like my own heart stopped.

The story is mostly told from Bree’s POV but a few chapters are dedicated to share Archer’s POV too.

The mystery, suspense and a sense of foreboding to danger is beautifully captured by the author in the book. The pace is balanced and this book is so engrossing that you won’t be able to leave it once you start reading it. I missed all my work when I sat down to read it, despite the promise I had made myself that I would read only a few chapters.

The characters are people who seem all too normal with their daily routines and not-so-perfect lives. Archer is a true “wounded” hero who instantly endeared himself to me and I seriously wished I could meet and heal him. Taking Bree’s place would not be a bad idea here. LOL, just kidding. He is pure hotness with a mysterious and broken feel about him that instantly makes us want to make him happy.

Bree, on the other hand, is independent, bubbly and cute. She is a normal girl but one who has faced hell and is still reliving it due to her trauma. Her protective role in Archer’s life and Archer’s slowly developed but still soul deep love for her had me wishing for a happily-ever-after for them and hoping I could meet them someday! They make each other better and also make each other vulnerable, which is the beauty of true love.

The other characters are also suitably placed and act beautifully in their roles to take the story forward.

The book is a part of the “Sign of Love” series but still a standalone story based on the sun sign, Sagittarius. It has some adult content and so should be read only by people above the age of eighteen.

A definite winner, Archer’s Voice is a must read for all romance lovers. This book is so much more than just romance. It tugs at our heartstrings, makes us re-examine our behaviour towards people and then believe in the magic of true love that can heal all scars and all wounds. 5 super glowing stars to it and strongly recommended to everyone. I loved Mia and will be checking out her other books too.

Good book!! excellent work! worth the read!
Loved to read it and I literally lived it! Thank you mia dear for writing such a masterpiece.

Archer’s Voice has been my favourite novel ever since I read it last year. So when I found out a Special Edition was coming out, I knew I had to have it! This book was worth every dollar. It’s very high quality. I love the gold foiling, the sprayed edges and the annotations. This special edition is officially my most prized possession on my book shelf. Forever in love!

Here is my actual review from Goodreads from when I read the paperback edition:

“…the loudest words are the ones we live”

I do not know why it took me so long to read this book; I wish I had read it sooner. My love language is words of affirmation. But after reading Archer Hale’s story, I learned to value silence, everything happening in between words.

The love in this book felt so sincere and intimate. I was in tears because I could feel Archer and Bree’s love for one another illuminating off of the book. The story perfectly encapsulates love in a way that words cannot fully describe.

Archer’s Voice is more than just a love story. Who knew you could learn so much about life from a man who does not have a voice. That even silence can be the loudest and most beautiful sound you hear. To read about them falling in love and getting through their trauma together was a beautiful experience. Archer’s backstory had me wrenched. I cried so much because the plot twist threw me over the edge. I had to take a few breathers to absorb all the information.

I truly mean this when I say this is my favourite book of all time. ♾/5⭐️ I suggest everyone should read this at least once in their lifetime. It can truly change the way you approach and value life and others.
Teach you “to believe that maybe more light shines out of those who have the most cracks.”
Show that “there’s a masterpiece being woven out of all the knots and loose strings.”
And that “sometimes an understanding silence [is] better than a bunch of meaningless words.”

Please protect Archer Hale at all costs!! This is such a beautiful story and it holds such an important message – everyone has a voice. they may sound different, but everyone can and deserves to be heard.
Every single person needs to read this book right now.
