Book Tunes is a new meme that will be held on Fridays and the point is to share the book your reading and a song you think represents it. Be sure to include the novel you are reading, the summary, the song you think fits it and an explanation of why you chose that particular song.

Sleepless by Cyn Balog

From Goodreads:

Eron DeMarchelle isn't supposed to feel this connection. He is a Sandman, a supernatural being whose purpose is to seduce his human charges to sleep. Though he can communicate with his charges in their dreams, he isn't encouraged to do so. After all, becoming too involved in one human's life could prevent him from helping others get their needed rest.

 But he can't deny that he feels something for Julia, a lonely girl with fiery red hair and sad dreams. Just weeks ago, her boyfriend died in a car accident, and Eron can tell that she feels more alone than ever. Eron was human once too, many years ago, and he remembers how it felt to lose the one he loved. In the past, Eron has broken rules to protect Julia, but now, when she seems to need him more than ever, he can't reach her. Eron's time as a Sandman is coming to a close, and his replacement doesn't seem to care about his charges. Worse, Julia is facing dangers she doesn't recognize, and Eron, as he transitions back to being human, may be the only one who can save her. . . .

 Even once they've become human again, Sandmen are forbidden to communicate with their charges. But Eron knows he won't be able to forget Julia. Will he risk everything for a chance to be with the girl he loves?

 Cyn Balog's follow-up to Fairy Tale has more wit, more supernatural delights, and more star-crossed romance! Teen girls will love this story of a Sandman who falls in love with his human charge.

The Tune: Goodnight by Evanescence

The Lyrics:

Goodnight, sleep tight

No more tears

In the morning I'll be here

And when we say goodnight,

Dry your eyes

Because we said goodnight,

And not goodbye

We said goodnight

Why this tune?:

I'm not terribly far into this novel but it seems to be the theme. With her boyfriend dead, Julia won't let herself feel it or says she doesn't. This song seems to fit Eron who seduces Julia to sleep every night. He remains outside her window longer than he should and though she can't seem him, he's usually there. Since he's going to be turning back to human soon, he's trying to deal with saying goodbye to her. Plus, you have to have a lullaby for this book. It goes with the territory!

And not goodbye
