Bookish Playlists - Tha Maze Runner series



Music is a very important part of our life. I myself played the violin for nine years and attended music school for quite a few years thus music always had been present in my life. Also I'm always listening to music while writing therefore I'm full of different playlists and so it popped into my mind that I could create playlists to books and feature them here. As a result, Bookish Playlists was born, a new feature here on Rebook424. Each week I'm going to post a playlist related to a book, mostly one that I recently finished reading.
And as last week and this week I was reading The Maze Runner series, the first Bookish Playlist is  Maze Runner playlist.
I warn you in advance, I have a pretty quirky taste in music. I listen to from the softest pop to heavy metal and everything between. ;)

The Myths Behind the Most Famous Paranormal Creatures 6 - Demons

Angels and demons often come together, especially in books and as last week I presented angels, let's see demons now.




Demons are very popular in modern belief and can be broken down in three categories.


Hell Demons: The "Actual" demons, as in the ones that are born from all the Hate and all evil in Hell, along with the Dark Fallen Angels.


Dimensional Demons: Beings that inhabit different dimensions or planes of existence. They could have dark intentions or be born out of spite, vile, and evil. These demons usually have an epheral existance or a not very solid composition in our plane of reality and the physical.

Earth's Demons: Beings that inhabit the Earth.

Synopsis:



Problem number one: Asher Evans, her best friend and long-time crush. A lover of piercings with tan skin and a posh British accent, he’s spunky, fun, dirty-mouthed…and clearly more than what he seems.

Then there is Hunter Slade, who, although cold at first, becomes surprisingly good friends with her. He also works her last nerve. But when she finds out his deadly secret, their friendship comes to an abrupt end—or so it may seem.

Hunter and Ash are the least of Hazel’s worries. Someone is out to kill her, and she has no idea why. Monsters seem to come from left and right. Invisible wings follow her everywhere she goes. There’s a voice, soft and strangely familiar, inside her head. After a series of scary encounters, Hazel doesn’t know who or what to believe, although she isn’t about to go down without a fight. Armed with some old self-defense lessons, two Butterfinger candy bars, and her ever-present camera, Hazel will seek to find out the truth—no matter how much it costs her.

If high school is all about social status, Indigo Blackwood has it made.

Who wouldn’t want to be her?

Then a guy dies right before her eyes. And the dusty old family Bible her mom is freakishly possessive of is stolen. But it’s when a frustratingly sexy stranger named Bishop enters Indie’s world that she learns her destiny involves a lot more than pom-poms and parties. If she doesn’t get the Bible back, every witch on the planet will die. And that’s seriously bad news for Indie, because according to Bishop, she’s a witch too.

Suddenly forced into a centuries-old war between witches and sorcerers, Indie’s about to uncover the many dark truths about her life—and a future unlike any she ever imagined on top of the cheer pyramid.
