Soundtrack to The Elite: Danger Zone by Brooke Blake & Ella Frank

SOUNDTRACK: Unfinished Business by White Lies
Soundtrack to Badlands: Loose Ends by Morgan Brice
According to the band, this song is about “a boyfriend’s ghost trying to communicate with the girlfriend who murdered him and has now taken to self harm.” Perfect for a book about lingering ghostly lovers and vengeful exes haunting happy couples.

SOUNDTRACK: The Hands Of A Teacher by Public Affection / Live
Soundtrack to The Brothers Grime: Eddie: Grime Doesn’t Pay by Z.A. Maxfield
This relatively obscure song by Public Affection, better known as the 90s band Live, is THE song for a book where teachers play very significant roles. Eddie, the MC, has a learning disability that caused him to be written off by his teachers. A more perceptive mentor helped him overcome his dyslexia. As an adult, he fell in love with his niece’s teacher.

SOUNDTRACK: Space Age Love Song by A Flock Of Seagulls
Soundtrack to Earth Fathers: Earth Fathers Are Weird by Lyn Gala
A Space Age Love Song for our unlikely pair of intergalactic lovers. I like these lines that goes “I saw your eyes/ And you made me smile / For a little while / I was falling in love” because Rick has many eyes and he’s proud of them. Also, loved Max for appreciating Rick’s asymmetrical features.

SOUNDTRACK: I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor by Arctic Monkeys
Soundtrack to Joker’s Sin: To Die For by Davidson King
-
SOUNDTRACK: Bullet by Riot Child
Soundtrack to Hitman Vs Hitman by L.A. Witt & Cari Z
A song about bullets for our hitmen on the run, with lines that go “I, I never ask why the wicked live and the good ones die / Time, time ran out of time, we all kill to survive“. I found a couple of pop songs with more accurate lyrics but their softer melodies don’t fit the mood of this high-octane book. Riot Child’s rockin’ tune captured the book’s energy better.
