SOUNDTRACK: Starlight by Jai Wolf feat. Mr. Gabriel
Soundtrack to Sucker For Love Mysteries: Acsquidentally In Love by K.L. Hiers
Starlight for Sloane, the Starkiller. Also the lines, “Wake up in your crystal sky / We’re floating till we fly” and “We’re slowly falling through the night / Illuminating coastlines / Headlights toward the afterlife” reminds me of the part where Loch took Sloane to the city in the stars where the ancient gods sleep and dead go.

SOUNDTRACK: Stranger by Covey
Soundtrack to More Heat Than The Sun: Love Is A Stranger by John Wiltshire
The book is written entirely in Ben’s POV so I loved how this song seems to speak from Nikolas’s perspective.
The lines “Oh I’ve been a stranger / Sleeping with you in my bed / I wish I could save you / From the thoughts up in my head” is basically what the book is all about.
“We all come from broken arms / But still I keep you close / I’m an empty hollow shell / On a one way trip to hell / And all these thoughts inside my head / Are fears of loneliness from years I can’t relive” sum up his history and his state of mind. Also, he way he kept Ben in his life through the years.

Soundtrack: Matter by For King & Country & Cuddles by The Tired Flame
Soundtrack to Bad Behavior: Protective Behavior by L.A. Witt & Cari Z
The entire song resonates strongly with book. The lines “You felt the pain of a bitter defeat / Where the weight of the grief is more bitter than sweet / It matters, I’m telling you it matters” reminds me of the scene where Mark visited the grieving family, looked the mother in the eye and promised to give her murdered son justice.
Soundtrack to Bad Behavior: Cuddly Behavior by L.A. Witt & Cari Z
Cuddly nonsense for the cats who rule our lives.

SOUNDTRACK: Wake Me by Message To Bears & Silence by Before You Exit
Soundtrack to Lords Of Discord: Waking Bel by Jocelynn Drake
Soundtrack to Lords Of Discord: Embracing Winter by Jocelynn Drake
Wake Me has only one line “Wake me when I fall” for Bel who realized there’s more to life than his scientific experiments after meeting Wyatt and River. Also, bird sounds for the vampire who can talk to animals.
The lyrics “Talking / Why’s everyone always talking? / Noise in my head / But it’s nonsense / I can’t feel love” is the dark secret Winter carried most his life. “But every time I look in your eyes /The world gets quiet” is Fox and his gift of Silence.

Soundtrack to Claimings: Claimings, Tails, and Other Alien Artifacts by Lyn Gala
Soundtrack to Claimings: Assimilation, Love, and Other Human Oddities by Lyn Gala
“Don’t let them / Control you again / Just tell them / What i said / Choose your life / You can rise / Don’t give up / Who gives a fuck / You’re the one I love / Give me your trust
Ondry wins Liam’s trust and rescues from the bumbling fools who abused his service and doesn’t recognize the value of He Who Serves.
“It would be an honor to have my heart broken by you“
Liam honors Ondry with his complete submission. But really, the honor goes both ways.

SOUNDTRACK: The Space Between by Dave Matthews Band
Soundtrack to Noah & Cole Thriller: The Murder Between Us by Tal Bauer
According to songmeaningsandfacts.com, this Dave Matthews Band classic is a song about “a complex relationship between two people who are most likely incompatible yet long to be with each other“. After reading The Murder Between Us, I couldn’t help but relate this to Noah and Cole.
“You cannot quit me so quickly / There’s no hope in you for me / No corner you could squeeze me / But I got all the time for you, love” is Cole patiently waiting for Noah to come to terms with himself.
“The Space Between/The wicked lies we tell/And hope to keep safe from the pain” is Noah hiding a part of himself because of his many fears.
“Take my hand / ‘Cause we’re walking out of here…The Space Between /Your heart and mine/Is the space we’ll fill with time” ｡ﾟ.(*♡´◡` 人´◡` ♡*)ﾟ °・

SOUNDTRACK: My My My! by Troye Sivan
Soundtrack to A True Lover’s Story: Wood by A.E. Via
With lyrics that go “Now, let’s stop running from love/ Running from love… Let’s stop running from us”, My My My! is a song about liberation and sexuality. It’s talks of two people who were in initially in denial about their feelings but eventually stopped running away and came together. I relate this to how Trent, who liked to think he was straight, came to terms with his attraction to Wood.
