Playlist: The Music on Replay for Key Scenes By Julie Anne Lindsey

Deceived by Julie Anne Lindsey

When Elle's father, a single parent and a big shot in corporate insurance, moves her to yet another boarding school for senior year, Elle is disgusted when nothing changes. Her night terrors don't go away, and, soon, despite her father's caring calls and visits, Elle starts to believe she's losing her mind. She knows she's being followed; a ribbon is tied around her doorknob, and there are those cigarette butts that keep turning up on the doormat, in violation of a strict smoking ban on campus. Then there's Bryan, an intriguing boy Elle meets at a flea market and later finds out is a student at her school. Yet on campus, he pretends he doesn't recognize her - until the day he divulges just how much danger she's in. In her search for an answer to all the madness, Elle unravels the truth about her dad's real identity, why someone has lied to her all her life, and the terrifying truth that she may be the only one who can save her from the one who's following her now.

First, thank you so much for allowing me to come and be a part of your blog. Second, I read that you are a music fan and got excited. Music inspires, enhances and practically writes half my scenes for me. I used music to get into character, to set the mood and to add another layer of emotion to every scene. Which is amazing for me, but no one ever know it happened! So, I want to share some songs with you that brought Elle, Pixie and Brian to life for me. Now, if you’re a music snob, you will hate me because I’m very pop and not deep about music. I just know when I hear something that it is perfect for this or that and I use it to carry the story through those scenes. My knowledge of music, like my knowledge of everything else is very surface and I’m okay with that. I just like it because it makes me feel and I like all the feels.

Okay, I arranged them by chapter because I’m like that. LOL. I have playlists for each character too, but these were the songs I spent the most time with while writing.

Only happy When it Rains – Garbage (playing on Pixie’s alarm over the sound of the shower in chapter 1)

Spiderwebs – No Doubt (on inside Buzz Cup after she runs there from library, chapter 4)

That’s My Jam – Relient K (In Pixie’s Car chapter 4 when she picks Elle up from Buzz Cup)

You Really Got Me – The Kinks (Playing on the radio in the background/ inside his cottage during dinner)

Calling You – Blue October (on in the Jeep when he says he will always be watching out for her, even after she leaves for school in the fall and makes a life for herself Chapter 15)
