As you know, if you own a copy of Hunting The Empress, I mention a playlist and bonus material at the end of the book. The playlist is very long (and available in the Bonus section on this website!), and I have been adding new music there if it resonates with me or if a particular song pops into my head while I write. The following are a couple of the more recent additions and all I have to say is WOW! Spot on!

The first song is “The Beast” by Lady Gaga. My mouth fell open the first time I heard it because it triggered vivid images from the “mountain house” scenes to roll through my head! (HOT!🥵)! From there, I saw something from book 2, which is so very Viktor. Here are the lyrics:

Turn on the music

I touch your face ’cause I see panic, who rang the alarm?
I see you shivering, your eyes are red, your soul is gone
You’re out of breath, tick-tock, tick-tock, you’re almost out of time, yeah, yeah
Because at midnight, there’s a change in you that I have heard
You’ve kept this secret for so long, you whisper and it burns
You’re out of breath, tick-tock, tick-tock, you’re almost out of time, yeah, yeah

You can’t hide who you are, 11:59
Your heart’s racin’, you’re growlin’ and we both know why
Yeah, we both know why

Turn on the music
Turn off the lights
I wanna feel the beast inside
I know you’re hungry, ready to bite
I wanna watch you turn tonight
I wanna feel the beast inside

The girls are scared of you, a legend in your neighborhood
Last week, you left somebody dead, it’s all misunderstood
You got your hands on Little Red, tick-tock, you’re out of time, oh yeah, ooh

You can’t hide who you are, 11:59
Your heart’s racin’, you’re growlin’ and we both know why
Yeah, we both know why

Turn on the music
Turn off the lights
I wanna feel the beast inside
I know you’re hungry, ready to bite
I wanna watch you turn tonight
I wanna feel the beast inside

Ah
Oh, yeah
You can’t hide who you are, 11:59
You can’t hide who you are, 11:59
You can’t hide who you are, 11:59

Turn on the music
Turn off the lights
I wanna feel the beast inside
I know you’re hungry, ready to bite
I wanna watch you turn tonight
I wanna feel the beast
I wanna feel the beast
I wanna feel the beast inside
I wanna feel the beast inside

Love that one! LOL!

The second song is totally Nikolai. I can’t even believe how spot-on the lyrics are. Just wait until book 2 is released! LOL!

Here are the lyrics:

Closed eyes, never feel safe

I’m tongue tied, never let out my rage

Tried breaking this cage

But where would I go?

I’m stuck living a life of bad luck

Giving me nothing, doors shut

Alone in my head, I’m out of control

Ohh am I losing my sanity?

I’m over my head

I’m in dark dream

Ohh

I’m a prisoner here,

they’ll never let me leave

Losing grip on reality

I’m over the edge

I yell and I scream

I’m a prisoner here, come get me

Set me free

Hurt me, do what you want

I’m thirsty, feeding me bones

The hunger is all that I know

I’m starving for air

Trapped here, sinking in deeper

Cold sweat, wet from my my fever

I’m kept, locked in box

Nobody cares

Ohh am I losing my sanity?

I’m over my head

I’m in dark dream

Ohh

I’m a prisoner, here

they’ll never let me leave

Losing grip on reality

I’m over the edge

I yell and I scream

I’m a prisoner here, come get me,

Set me free

Dark dreams, every time I close my eyes

Demons coming after me

I’m tired, please

Every time I close my eyes

I see them coming after me

These dark dreams

Every time I close my eyes,

demons coming after me

I’m tired, please

Every time I close my eyes

I see them coming after me

Ohhh am I losing my sanity?

I’m over my head

I’m in dark dream

Ohhh

I’m a prisoner, here

they’ll never let me leave

Losing grip on reality

I’m over the edge

I yell and I scream

I’m a prisoner here, come get me,

Set me free

Dark dreams every time I close my eyes

Demons coming after me

I’m tired, please

few more recent additions;Every time I close my eyes

I see them coming after me

WOW…just wow! This song was released the year I began writing Hunting The Empress, but I didn’t hear it until after I had written Nikolai and was well into the story! It’s wild how similar energies, events, and storylines converge when you are in the flow. I always attract what I write, so it’s not surprising when specific things appear in my life. What’s next? Is someone going to roll up into my driveway in a Koenigsegg? 🤣HA! Or maybe I’ll see some strange lights above me in the sky….again. (No joke. That story for another time) 🛸✨

It’s funny how both gifs above are no longer the stuff of fantasy or Hollywood. Welcome to the age of Aquarius. LOL bring it on!

LOL!

And yes, please, beam me up, like now, if this awaits me…I’m down for some “Amok time.” 🖖🏻😋

Yum. That’s all I have to say. I love some Ethan Peck as Spock. His voice always gets me. 🥵

Over time, I will post more features from the Playlist and a new one for book two, which will appear in the bonus section. The book two playlist already has a different vibe to it. It’s very sensual. Loving it so much!

“May you always have sweet dreams✨🌙✨”
