    SOUNDTRACK: Beautiful Mistake by Mango

    November 5, 2021 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Second Chances: Beautiful Mistakes by Felice Stevens

    This song reminds me of that unforgettable night Wolf and Spencer had in Italy. Wolf calls it a beautiful mistake. The memory haunted them both for a long time.

    SOUNDTRACK: I Found You by Andy Grammer

    October 29, 2021 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Scales N’ Spells: Origin by A.J. Sherwood & Jocelynn Drake

    I Found You is a celebration of finding that one person who makes everything worth it. It reflects the dragons finally finding a mage after 500 years of searching. It also speaks for King Alric who not only found mages for his clan but his beloved mate in one young, cheerful American-Korean mage named Cameron Park.

    I’ve lost more than a heart can take
    But I found you on the way
    (On the way)

    This are my favorite lines in the song because they remind me of the great war where the dragons and mages were almost wiped out. And yet they managed to survive and find each other again even if it took many centuries.

    SOUNDTRACK: Unhinged by Lydia Kaye

    October 22, 2021 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Necessary Evils: Unhinged by Onley James

    I liked how Unhinged the song speaks for Unhinged the book.

    What’s your colour underneath
    Layers of paint have dried
    Chip away to find the truth
    Let the wrongs be right

    This part recalls the mystery and their mission to find those who abused Noah.

    What lies underneath,
    Our ties that bind,
    Resistance, fail us now.

    These lines remind me of Adam’s found family and Noah’s very complicated relationship with his father.

    In the black of our eyes
    In the beat of our soul
    We’re all the same
    It just takes one look
    To define what you want
    So I know what to give

    This stanza reminds of how Adam and Noah navigate their relationship

    SOUNDTRACK: Just Stay by Mauve

    October 15, 2021 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Nothing Special VIII: Swat Ed: Fox & Bull by A.E. Via

    I just love the way you love me
    Please don’t ever change your ways
    And I keep all my promises
    Don’t you go away, just stay, just stay

    Just Stay reminds me of Fox who just wanted someone who would commit. He said people love the fantasy but are quick to bail when faced with the harsh realities of dating a SWAT officer.

    The song also speaks for Bull who wanted Fox to stay in the ranch forever.

    Soundtrack: I’ll Fall With Your Knife by Peter Murphy

    October 8, 2021 / 2 Comments

    Soundtrack to Exposed by H.L. Day

    I’ll Fall With Your Knife is a shout-out to the many and much loved knives of the assassin, X. The song is about commitment and there’s nobody more committed to Tate than the gruff killer, who watched over the man for more than a decade. But what I liked best about this song is that it speaks from Tate’s POV. I imagined this playing during the scenes where they were crossing the desert in search of utopia.

    “Well if the birds can reach the sky
    To this land I’ll be with you
    Till the Sun bursts from your side
    With my hands I reach to you
    When you think your chance is passing by
    When you blow your Moon away
    I’ll bleed like the reed
    Fall with your knife
    It’s here I’ll be with you

    Soundtrack to Game Changers: Role Model by Rachel Reid

    Because Harris is smells like apples and the lyrics that goes “Every day’s an apple pie / When I’m with you I’m not so shy / And I almost feel alive in your arms / Help me forget what I’m going through and I’ll give everything to you / It’s the least that I could do” reminds me of how his friendship with Troy helped the hockey player through some difficult times.

    SOUNDTRACK: Trouble by Cage The Elephant

    September 17, 2021 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to West Coast Forensics: Real Trouble by Elle Keaton

    According to the band, Trouble is a song about “honesty and adversity and struggle and stuff like that”. I think it’s apt for a book where one of the main characters obfuscates the truth about his identify, and struggles to rise above his criminal past.
