Is anyone else out there a child of the 80s and like me, still swoony when it comes to INXS?
I've got a special treat for you today. My oh-so-fabulous critique partner, Lisa Desrochers, has a big day tomorrow - her debut novel PERSONAL DEMONS hits bookstores. It is sizzling!!
While Lisa had already created her own fantastic playlist for PERSONAL DEMONS, as someone who always conjures music to accompany reading I think that INXS could do a pretty great job of soundtracking this addictive and original story.
First there's Frannie, who's struggling with both literal and metaphorical PERSONAL DEMONS might relate to this:
Of course Luc, the hotter than hell demon complicating her life make you feel like this:
And then there's Gabe, equally hot but brings heaven's lightness to counter Luc's darkness.
Congratulations to Lisa - I'm so excited that the world can get their hands on this fantastic book.
Bonus: Prizes!!! Leave a comment here and you can win this fabulous prize pack.
AND if you read the Amazing Race posts from the past we and can create the correct phrase from linking all the highlighted words in the posts, you can win big on Lisa's page tomorrow. Details here!! To collect the words, start with Elana Johnson's post!! You can follow the race through the other blog posts from there. Good luck!
I grew up Australian, so of course I adore their music :-)
ReplyDeleteYay! I love collecting all the words and stuff! It's so much fun :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for having the contest! And love the song choices ;)
I was born in the 80's (84) but have no idea what you're referring to, so guess that doesn't count. Well, I should say... I didn't recognize the name, I do recognize the music. Devil Inside = good song.
ReplyDeleteEven though I'm not reading any angel/demon novels due to working on my own paranormal romance draft with both, I have no problem adding books to my "to read" list. Personal Demons is one book I can't wait to add.
LOL! My PD playlist posts later today and there's no INXS =( Glad you fixed that for me! Thanks for the awesome post :p
ReplyDeleteI did not know INXS but now I do and I like what I hear:-)
ReplyDeleteI have been so excited for this release for months!! Whoo hoo! Hoping it hits Aussie Bookstores tomorrow too or I'll have to wait to have it delivered... *cringes at the horror* ROFLMAO :D
ReplyDeleteINXS is kicking!
Emma :)
I can't believe it's out tomorrow!! Screech!
ReplyDeleteOne more day! and One more monthish for Nightshade :D

I'm a big fan of INXS, so explaining anything related to them works well for me!

ReplyDeleteThanks for participating!

I keep seeing so much buzz about this book. Now that I have Nightshade out of my system I really should check this one out. And the INXS references sooo don't help me resist I grew up on INXS. I even watched that silly reality show where they were looking for a someone to sing for them.
ReplyDeleteOh heck with it... Amazon here I come. Thanks a lot Andrea. :P *downloading INXS tunes and adding Personal Demons to cart* My husband is gonna kick my butt for buying another book this week. lol XD
Cool song choices! I'll keep them in mind when I read. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway, too!

This is so fun one more day to find out...
ReplyDeleteI was born a good decade after the 80s and so I have no idea who these are--but hey, I'll have to admit, they don't sound half bad. Actually, that's an understatement--I'm liking these guys!
ReplyDeleteSo, so excited for Personal Demons. Plus, I'm hearing lots of positive feedback for Nightshade. I'm looking forward to reading both books!
Great music picks! Thanks for the givewaway!

ReplyDeleteMy name is Andrea, and I am a child of the 80's, but not a fan of INXS. I was obsessed with Madonna and New Kids on the Block.
ReplyDeleteThanks for helping with the contest!

ReplyDeletelookaftermyheart1901(at)gmail(dot)com
I was lucky enough to receive and ARC! Personal Demons is so terrific! I enjoyed it every page and had a grin on my face a mile wide most of the time...
ReplyDeletePoor Frannie sure has a difficult decision ... to choose between Good or Better... or maybe better and BEST! hmmmm. Luc wins for me though!
What a terrific series! I'm certainly a fan of Lisa Desrochers.
Good song choices! 80's music rocks.
ReplyDeleteI love the songs that you picked! :)
ReplyDeleteStopping by to say hi, pick up your words and to let you know that Nightshade too is on my wishlist. I'm in love with the fabulous cover.
ReplyDeleteThis Amazing Race is fun. The book sounds really good! (And so does Nightshade for that matter!)
ReplyDeleteAh! I'm finishing this contest late!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Those songs were weird, but in a good way. Lol.
Oh, and by the way Miz Cremer, I'm really excited for your book, Nightshade. I haven't had a chance to buy it yet, but I'll get it soon.
ReplyDeleteThis is soo much fun! Can't wait for the book! :D
ReplyDeleteLol. This is really fun! :3
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read this book!
ReplyDeleteI'm sooooo excited about Personal Demons!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLol I like that you took the time to find your own soundtrack to Personal Demons. :)
ReplyDeleteYay! This is so fun! Love the music choices! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to read Personal Demons! Love the music choices! So fun!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read Personal Demons! Awesome soundtrack!
ReplyDeleteOh how I love me some INXS! Can't wait to read Personal Demons (and Nightshade too!!)
ReplyDeleteYour post made me laugh so hard! And now I totally have this song from Dr. Who stuck in my head called You Put the Devil in Me! It's such a cute song, and just seems to fit this overall theme. Can't wait to read the book!!
