SOUNDTRACK: Love Is Stronger Than Death by Christian Hovda (orig. The The)
Soundtrack to Paul Monroe Mysteries: Death Tells A Tale by A.P. Eisen a.k.a. Felice Stevens
Love Is Stronger Than Death for a book about helping people find closure after years of grief and heartache.
In our lives we hunger for those we cannot touch
All the thoughts unuttered and all the feelings unexpressed
Play upon our hearts like the mist upon our breathBut, awoken by grief our spirits speak
How could you believe that the life within the seed
That grew arms that reached and a heart that beat
And lips that smiled and eyes that cried, could ever die?Here come the blue skies, here comes the springtime
When the rivers run high and the tears run dry
When everything that dies, shall riseAmong the many covers, I liked Christian Hovda’s version the most but you can also listen to the original below:

Soundtrack to Arcane Hearts: A Touch Of Fever by Nazri Noor
Fever Dreams, a song about wanting to be whisked away to fantastical places, for a book about the brave and handsome hero taking the magical boy of his dreams to grand adventures all over the world.
The book is from the POV of the hero so I loved that the lyrics of the song speaks from the POV of the magical boy. He was literally magical. The guy’s a mage.
The sun will rise at night
Burn so bright
Take me to another world
Where your fairytales and fever dreams can set me free
You could be the one for me
I want you to beAnd I’ve figured it out for real
And I’m trying to let you know
If I need you enough
When the going gets tough
Just imagine
Way-oh way-oh
All the places where we could be
All the pretty things that we could see
In a magical world
I’m your magical girl
Just imagine way-oh way-oh -

Waiting for the faintest lie and waiting for these wounds to heal
No, we’re never as lost or as found as we think we are
No, we’re never as lost or as found as we think we areLove takes some time to bloom
When it’s right, it’ll find you
When it’s right, it’ll find you
Like sunlight breaking through -

Fall Together by Temper Trap, a song about sworn enemies who kept being drawn together for a book about two rival assassins taking the saying “keep your friends close and your enemies closer” to heart.
You and me know we’re meant to be
Maybe we’ll never know
You and me are worst enemies
Cause we don’t believe anymore….
Shallow dreams will tell me everything
I’ve been listening, but all I heard you
Pulling strings
And you’ll do anything to keep me hanging on your every wordOut on the streets
Our colors bleed
Are you the one to speak to me?Soundtrack to Wages Of Sin: Head Games by Onley James & Neve Wilder
Bleed Together by Matt Lange for a book about an uptight psychiatrist venturing into serial killing. He found his perfect match and mentor in a very laidback hitman who breezed his way into his tightly regimented life.
Loved how the lines, “Can you carve your name into my heart” and “Can you cut yourself in symmetry”, resonate with the the MC’s weapon of choice, the knife.
So this is the way
You wove your thread into my fate
Echoes in your eyes and through your hair
Mirror blue and I stare
Entwined in crimson desire…
Can you carve your name into my heart
Tear it open, yours for taking
Can you cut yourself in symmetry
Birds of a feather bleed together -
