Here's my pick this week:

Hungry Like a Wolf by Duran Duran brings to mind the conflict between Adam and Samuel.  Even though Mercy isn't necessarily part of either pack, both alpha males are trying to claim her was their mate.  To a lesser extent, the song also reminds me of Mercy's desire to find Jesse, answers, and justice for Mac.

Here's my pick this week:

Dizzy by Goo Goo Dolls reminds me of Georgina's relationship with Seth.  Even though she cannot change what she is, everything about her entrances and enraptures him.  And, in so many ways, she is a mess, but he still finds her beautiful.

Here's my pick this week:

Succubus by Five Finger Death Punch makes me think of all Georgina's victims, at to a lesser extent, the succubus herself.  Even though she made the choice, she still suffers with her inability to get close to a living person for fear of sucking their life.

Between books again >.<  Hopefully, the review for The Cold Dish will be up later today.  Since it's been running through my head all week, enjoy some Guns N' Roses:

I just started The Cold Dish a few days ago, so I couldn't think of a suitable song. However, I was reminded of the awesome Jalan Crossland who sings about the Big Horn Mountains! Without further ado:

Two picks this week:

Cry Little Sister cover by Season After and It's Been Awhile by Staind both encompass so many aspects of this book.  And, if I'm honest, the previous book, as well.  Even though It's Been Awhile is more than likely about a heroine addiction, a lot of the symbolism in the lyrics make me thing of Akiva's love for Karou/Madrigal and the fact that he, in his very essence, feels like a betrayal.  If he could, he would give anything and sacrifice anything for her.  However, because of their past, she cannot see that.  Since Cry Little Sister was a theme/written for Lost Boys, I feel the tension of in the seraphim and chimaera.  Both are telling Akiva and Karou that there is kinship and familial bonds in their group, and, once part of that, you cannot leave.

Here's my song this week, which comes from my grunge teenage years:

Long Way Down by Goo Goo Dolls makes me think of Rachel's struggles as a demon on this side of the lines, whether she wants to be connected to her demonic power, her fear that she is not moving on with her life, and, in a weird way, the change in her relationship with Trent.  I can also feel her need for others reflected in this song.  Even though she is strong, with her demonic powers, the charmed silver means she must rely on people like Wayde.  While she knows that she cannot do everything alone, it is hard for her to admit that she needs her friends.

Okay, I am completely and utterly behind this week.  I have a book review coming on Sunday, but I have yet to start another book >.<  Admittedly, other geeky avenues and helping out friends has kind of taken over my life this week.  So, since I have not started a book,a song based off of an awesome book!

Here's my song this week:

Cry of the Black Birds by Amon Amarth is Swedish Viking metal, and, even though I hate screaming metal, the song really captures what Bjolf's crew is fighting.  Since his ship is named after the raven, I thought this song was perfect!

Here's my song this week:

Freak Like Me by Halestorm goes out to all of those InCryptids out there!  This song is an anthem for everyone who is different and isn't afraid to show it.  So, screw the Covenant and embrace your freakish nature!  Honestly, I think Verity and the Prices would be proud ^_~

And, as a completely band-geeky side note, as a former drummer, Arejay has to be one of my all-time favorite drummers out there!  He's such a goof and amazing at his craft!

Here's my song this week:

Spellbound by Lacuna Coil reminds me of the pseudo love interests between Alex, Tybalt, and Toby.  I'm not far enough into the book to determine whether Alex is involved with all of the shenanigans; however, there is definitely a little sparking between the two of them.  Further, I desperately want Tybalt and Toby to get together.  McGuire has been hinting at it since the previous book!

This week is a little different.  Gabriel's Inferno really got into my head, and it has been rattling around in there for awhile.  It is one of the rare books that I find myself composing a soundtrack for.  So, this week, the following videos (no particular order) are the soundtrack I found myself compiling in my head over the time I read the book.  I hope you enjoy!

Here's my song this week:

Live and Let Die cover by Guns 'n Roses reminds me of the waning of Jack's childhood on his quest to find the Talisman.  Even though he sees magical things, the weight of the world, his mother's life, and huge adult issues are placed on his shoulders.

Here's my song this week:

Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones perfectly describes Jack's feelings for Gia.  Even though they went their separate ways, he doesn't want to let her go.  And, if she is completely honest with herself, she wishes he was still in her life.

Here's my song this week:

Cego Hill Rambler by The Natchez Shakers just came to mind while I was reading this book.  Honestly, there is not real rhyme or reason to it.  The sound just reminded me of Mardi Gras in 1800s.  By the way, this group is awesome in concert ^_~

The World Spins Madly On by The Weepies always makes me think of Harry.  After everything he has done, all the things he has lost, the injuries he's received, and so on, the world keeps spinning and still needs him.

Two songs this week:

Hand That Feeds by Nine Inch Nails & Night Bus by Lucy Rose represent different aspects of this book.  For me, they are both poignant.  The first song makes me thing of Kira's desire to buck the system, her overwhelming convictions to find a cure, and the fact that she doesn't care about the consequences.  In some ways, it is also a challenge to Marcus and the others in the society.  The song by Lucy Rose is kind of the way I see Marcus looking at Kira.  He loves her, but, at some level, I think she confuses him.  She was the girl he thought he knew, loved, and wanted to be with the rest of his life; however, her desire to act outside of the Senate shakes everything he thought he knew.

Here is my pick this week:

Disarm by The Smashing Pumpkins kind of represents Eugenie standing at the crossroads in her life.  After a startling revelation in the Otherworld, she realizes that her feet are firmly planted in both worlds.  When she originally thought she was one thing, she finds out that she is not.  Even though she has a certain view of the gentry and Otherwordly creatures, she must face some hard realities and choose a side.  However, doing so could change everything.  And, in some ways, she would rather be a child and hide under the bed refusing to acknowledge the real world.  The song also makes me think of Dorian and the part he plays.
