TGIF at GReads! #6: Musical Stories

Another TGIF at GReads!

This Friday's Question:

Musical Stories: If you could read a book about any song, which song would you love to see written down in story form?



There's so many songs I would love to see written down! But there's currently few bands that I really adore, especially the lyrics.
I really want to start writing when ever I listen any of these following songs!

Florence and the Machine - Cosmic Love A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then, it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

..and some Opeth (lyrics here)


..aaand some Von Hertzen Brothers! (lyrics here)


Perhaps some heartbreaking lovestories ;)

Violet Ambrose is grappling with two major issues: Jay Heaton and her morbid secret ability.
While the sixteen-year-old is confused by her new feelings for her best friend since childhood, she is more disturbed by her "power" to sense dead bodies — or at least those that have been murdered. Since she was a little girl, she has felt the echoes that the dead leave behind in the world... and the imprints that attach to their killers.

Violet has never considered her strange talent to be a gift; it mostly just led her to find the dead birds her cat had tired of playing with. But now that a serial killer has begun terrorizing her small town, and the echoes of the local girls he's claimed haunt her daily, she realizes she might be the only person who can stop him.

Despite his fierce protectiveness over her, Jay reluctantly agrees to help Violet on her quest to find the murderer — and Violet is unnerved to find herself hoping that Jay's intentions are much more than friendly.
But even as she's falling intensely in love, Violet is getting closer and closer to discovering a killer... and becoming his prey herself.

*MAY CONTAIN SOME SPOILERS*
Violet is in love with her best friend. And she can "hear" dead bodies. Isn't that intriguing or what? I've never heard a story exactly like this before, so I was beyond excited to read this.
And I really wasn't disappointed. Kimberly Derting managed to tell a sweet and innocent love story of two best friends falling in love. That was one of the two main plots. The other one scared me speechless. Since there's insane serial killer killing off young girls.

The most terrifying part in this book was when author wrote from the serial killer's point of view. Because she really did a good job, and I really didn't like to be inside killers head! It was really scary. Few times my phone rang during these parts and I nearly peed my pants! I was seriously scared in few occasions. And it was kind of thrilling, since nowadays I avoid scary books on purpose. But because of the supernatural elements and young love, I didn't find this book too scary. By the way, this was the first time I've read about two best friends falling in love, and I absolutely loved it. I had a suspicion it might be boring, since they've known each other always etc., but I was glad to see I was proven wrong, and I actually want to read more books containing this little twist.

As mentioned earlier, what makes Violet so special is her ability to hear dead bodies, especially those who's been murdered. No surprise, she doesn't think her "talent" is an actual talent, or useful in any way.
So it's nice to see how she starts using her abilities for the "greater good", but it's still quite creepy and scary as hell! It's creepy enough how she starts digging up bodies, but when she goes after the killer, I was actually physically terrified.

I don't do scary books, so I was surprised to find this a great read. So, if you're up to be scared speechless and don't have any heart condition, feel free to grab yourself a copy!
I just received the second book from the series and the third, The Last Echo is released in few days, so I'm all giddy now!

Kate Winters has won immortality.

But if she wants a life in the Underworld with Henry, she’ll have to fight for it.

Becoming immortal wasn’t supposed to be the easy part. Though Kate is about to be crowned Queen of the Underworld, she’s as isolated as ever. And despite her growing love for Henry, ruler of the Underworld, he’s becoming ever more distant and secretive. Then, in the midst of Kate’s coronation, Henry is abducted by the only being powerful enough to kill him: the King of the Titans.

As the other gods prepare for a war that could end them all, it is up to Kate to save Henry from the depths of Tartarus. But in order to navigate the endless caverns of the Underworld, Kate must enlist the help of the one person who is the greatest threat to her future.

Henry’s first wife, Persephone.

*MAY CONTAIN SOME SPOILERS*
Six months has passed and Kate is back from her "summer vacation". Which she spent with James *gasp*! So prepare yourself for some more moping Hades!
Story begins with the revelation that the King of Titans is trying to break free, and thanks to that, we'll have lots and lots of action.
And as mentioned, we'll be seeing Persephone! So Hades won't be the only one moping and filled jealousy.

And warning: If you can't stand main character who is feeling sorry for herself and is overreacting and all whiny and drives everyone crazy, don't read this! You'll just get angry.

But, if you're able to turn off that voice of reason, you'll love this! Believe me, since first I was thinking that she's really, really overreacting, but then I thought "What the hell!" and next thing I know, I was screaming "You go girl!!" and made a little happy dance. Cause, you know, this is a book. And it would be so fun to be all whiny little girl IRL, but there would be consequences, so this is a great way to bath in those emotions!

Okay, I have to admit that it was quite unreasonable for Kate to expect gazillion years old god to be a virgin. Especially when he's already been married once. And that marriage lasted quite a long time. But beside that, it was a fun ride.

The cliffhanger in the end was a little odd at first, I was just.. astonished! Seriously, my mouth was hanging open. But after little thinking, it made sense. Sort of. I just hate that kind of cliffhangers, I wanted to read the next book right away, but, as we all know, that's not gonna happen any time soon.

Overall, this was a great sequel, and I actually liked this little bit more than the first book. There was more action in every field and I especially loved how Persephone came back to picture and mixed things a little. And it was quite interesting finding out who's slept with whom in the past. I love dirty little secrets like that ;)
And I wish we'll get to read more about those dirty little secrets soon! I have my fingers crossed that everything isn't over between James and Kate. And that Kate will be alive in the next book, that's quite important, I guess. So, hopefully we'll get more desperate moments and love triangles! :)

My thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin for providing the review copy!

Don't You Wish by Roxanne St. Claire

Expected publication July 10th 2012


When plain and unpopular Annie Nutter gets zapped by one of her dad's whacked-out inventions, she lands in a parallel universe where her life becomes picture-perfect.

Now she's Ayla Monroe, daughter of the same mother but a different father — and she's the gorgeous, rich queen bee of her high school.

In this universe, Ayla lives in glitzy Miami instead of dreary Pittsburgh and has beaucoup bucks, courtesy of her billionaire—if usually absent—father. Her friends hit the clubs, party backstage at concerts, and take risks that are exhilirating . . . and illegal. Here she's got a date to lose her V-card with the hottest guy she's ever seen.

But on the inside, Ayla is still Annie.

So when she's offered the chance to leave the dream life and head home to Pittsburgh, will she take it?

The choice isn't as simple as you think.

"I can't believe you don't want anything.
It's going to be a boring birthday."

Freedom, I thought.

That was the only gift I longed for.

Freedom to make my own choices.

Freedom to love who I wanted.
