Hate So Bad


Book Description

You'll never survive here, Princess. You're weak. You can't fight. You...don't...belong. I thought the hardest part of moving would be grieving my greatest loss. I thought wrong. Dropped into a savage school with no rules where violence was king, I stood out like a sore thumb. But even if I ditched the button-down shirts and fancy loafers, how could I fit in when my new peers stared at me with cold eyes and darkened souls? These students practically begged me to speak so they could show me their pain. All of which faded to nothing when I laid eyes on the beautifully cruel Colton Theroux. His derisive look declared I was lacking from our first connection. And when I refused to back down after a heated confrontation, he declared war. What followed was a game of hate that left me painfully exposed and raw. His beautiful knowing eyes followed me wherever I went. His sexy smirk drove me insane. He wanted me gone, but with every cruel turn, I was only more determined to stay. For he didn't understand, none of them did - the pretty princess they saw was nothing but a shell covering a soul just as dark and withered as theirs.

Hate So Sweet


Book Description

That was fun...That's it. Those are the only words Hayden Franks has condescended to speak to me since our sophomore year. Until today, until now... My grandmother once told me I have the sight, and if she's to be believed, the gift is given to those with blood so thick only the strongest can carry it on. And it's this which convinced me at ten years old that I already knew who my soulmate was, but Hayden Franks, with his dark stare and sexy smirk, is no white knight, and I guess I'm no damsel in distress. Either way...he's my weakness, but now that he finally sees me, I fear it's too late because even as my heart pounds to the beat of his darkness, I know - I'm broken, I'm bent, and I fear there's nothing left of my desiccated soul. For once upon a time, I thought I was special...and now I know I'm no more special than the next sad broken girl, only now I have the scars to show for it. And Hayden Franks, the bad boy who looked past me? Well, maybe, just maybe, he is the one...because I can't resist him, I never could...and with every dirty smile and moody stare, I see...it's strange just how sweet hate can be. ★★★Author's Note: This is book three of a trilogy, although it can be read as a standalone. The first two books in this series are Finn and Colt's story. Hate So Sweet is Ramie's story, and it's raw and beautiful but also contains strong language, violence and sexual situations that some may find triggering.

Bad Music


Book Description

Why are some popular musical forms and performers universally reviled by critics and ignored by scholars-despite enjoying large-scale popularity? How has the notion of what makes "good" or "bad" music changed over the years-and what does this tell us about the writers who have assigned these tags to different musical genres? Many composers that are today part of the classical "canon" were greeted initially by bad reviews. Similarly, jazz, country, and pop musics were all once rejected as "bad" by the academy that now has courses on these and many other types of music. This book addresses why this is so through a series of essays on different musical forms and performers. It looks at alternate ways of judging musical performance beyond the critical/academic nexus, and suggests new paths to follow in understanding what makes some music "popular" even if it is judged to be "bad." For anyone who has ever secretly enjoyed ABBA, Kenny G, or disco, Bad Music will be a guilty pleasure!
