Tuned Tuesday

Tuned Tuesday is my new weekly post matching a song (or more) to a book. And this week the song is...

Anklebiters by Paramore

Another One Bites the Dust by Queen

Okay, so I kind of had to have two songs for this book. I think they both fit. And I'll explain once you look at the book cover and description below.

Synopsis:

Between the pissed off creatures that want demon-hunter Lily Marks dead and the fallen angel who just...wants her, Lily is about ready to trade in forever for a comfy job in a cubicle farm.

The fact that she and Julian are civil to one another is enough to have her thrown out of the Sanctuary, but she can't shake her not-so-angelic stalker or how he brings her dangerously close to ecstasy.

Her forbidden relationship with Julian provides the perfect fuel for suspicion when a traitor is discovered to be working within the Sanctuary. Lily quickly finds herself hunted by well, everyone.

Her only hope is to discover the real traitor before she loses everything--and she'll need Julian's help. That is, if Julian is really there to help her...and not destroy her.

Yeah, being a Nephilim isn't everything it's cracked up to be.

So, the first song was Anklebiters by Paramore. It's from their new album they self-titled Paramore. Now if you have had a chance to read Unchained, you may guess why I think Anklebiters fits. How about I break it down for those of you who have no clue what the hell I'm talking about? First off, what is an ankle biter? One definition is a child who follows on your heels. Another definition is a person who blindingly follows someone else, often misleadingly. If you've read Unchained, you'll know that Julian accuses Lily of doing exactly that.

The second I would sincerely hope everyone has heard of. Another One Bites the Dust by Queen is a classic. If any there are any oldies out there they'll know what I mean. Well, not old-old people. They'd probably hate the music. I mean middle-aged. But I'm so young anyone over 30 is old to me. No offense meant to anyone, by the way. I digress. people with good taste will know Queen. Or if you were alive when they were really popular too. Anyways, I'm going all over the place here. Lily goes around killing minions, deadheads, and of course the Fallen. And whenever an evil thing is killed by Lily and her friends I keep thinking of this song. Listen to it and you'll understand.

Hope you read Unchained if you haven't already. Happy reading!

Tuned Tuesday

Tuned Tuesday is my new weekly post matching a song (or more) to a book. And this week the song is...

Monster by Paramore

 

Monster by Paramore reminds me Finale by Becca Fitzpatrick. The reason? Well, listen to the lyrics. The notable verse is this:

"I'm only human,

I've got a skeleton in me,

But I'm not the villain,

Despite what you're always preaching,

Call me a traitor,

I'm just collecting your victims,

They're getting stronger,

I hear them calling,

Calling, calling..."

It reminds me of Nora battling against fallen angels and banding together with nephilim. Nora starts off as only human, and against all odds she wins several battles against neph and fallen angel alike. It seems a fitting song.

Synopsis:

Will love conquer all?

Nora and Patch thought their troubles were behind them. Hank is gone and they should be able to put his ugly vendetta to rest. But in Hank's absence, Nora has become the unwitting head of the Nephilim and must finish what Hank began. Which ultimately means destroying the fallen angels - destroying Patch.

Nora will never let that happen, so she and Patch make a plan: lead everyone to believe they have broken up, and work the system from the inside. Nora will convince the Nephilim that they are making a mistake in fighting the fallen angels, and Patch will find out everything he can from the opposing side. They will end this war before it can even begin.

But the best-laid plans often go awry. Nora is put through the paces in her new role and finds herself drawn to an addictive power she never anticipated.

As the battle lines are drawn, Nora and Patch must confront the differences that have always been between them and either choose to ignore them or let them destroy the love they have always fought for.
