Let’s combine two things I love. Rin Chupeco’s book, Wicked As You Wish and music! I am so happy to be a part of this blog tour and Wicked As You Wish releases tomorrow! Are you ready for some good release day music inspiration?
Wicked As You Wish
An unforgettable alternative history fairytale series from the author of The Bone Witch trilogy about found family, modern day magic, and finding the place you belong.
Many years ago, the magical Kingdom of Avalon was left desolate and encased in ice when the evil Snow Queen waged war on the powerful country. Its former citizens are now refugees in a world mostly devoid of magic. Which is why the crown prince and his protectors are stuck in…Arizona.
Prince Alexei, the sole survivor of the Avalon royal family, is in hiding in a town so boring, magic doesn’t even work there. Few know his secret identity, but his friend Tala is one of them. Tala doesn’t mind—she has secrets of her own. Namely, that she’s a spellbreaker, someone who negates magic.
Then hope for their abandoned homeland reignites when a famous creature of legend, and Avalon’s most powerful weapon, the Firebird, appears for the first time in decades. Alex and Tala unite with a ragtag group of new friends to journey back to Avalon for a showdown that will change the world as they know it.

Fight Song by Rachel Platten
My power’s turned on
Starting right now I’ll be strong
I’ll play my fight song
And I don’t really care if nobody else believes
‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me
Raise Your Glass by Pink
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty, gritty, dirty, little freaks
Won’t you come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Character Songs
Tala Warnock: Bamboo by Kimie
Thought love was easy and I kept Belivin’
In that old fantasy, that fairytale dream
Real life has shown us it’s a rollercoaster and, oh
We had to learn where to take our turn
Alexei Tsarevich: Skin by X-Ambassadors
Who do I know in here
See, I struggle to be
Two different people at the same time
So I keep running, running my mouth, trying to be somebody
Trying to be somebody I’m not
Ryker Cadfael: Suit and Jacket by Judah & the Lion
I ain’t trading my youth for no suit and jacket
I ain’t giving my freedom for your money and status
So don’t say I’m getting older
‘Cause I’ll say it when I do
Kensington Inoue: Where My Love Goes by Lawson
My love goes out of my heart and into the wind
Out my guitar and under your skin
Into your house and out of your headphones
That’s where my love goes
Kay Warnock: Low Life by X-Ambassadors
I’m nothing but a low life
Thinking about my own life
I’m trying to fight the good own fight
But after it all, I’m still just a low life
Lumina Makiling-Warnock: Maybe the Night by Ben & Ben
Moon has never glowed this color
Hearts have never been this close
I have never been more certain
I will love you ’til we’re old
Nya: First Time by Lifehouse
Lookin’ at you
Holdin’ my breath
For once in my life
I’m scared to death
I’m takin’ a chance
Letting you inside
Loki Wagner: Renegades by X-Ambassadors
Long live the pioneers
Rebels and mutineers
Go forth and have no fear
Come close the end is near
West Eddings: Take My Hand by The Cab
Now take my hand
And we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over
Zoe Carlisle: New York City, 1964 by Shawn Amos
Winter came so soon
We watched All About Eve in the afternoon
I see her, east of the sun
One last bow and the curtain comes down
Can you believe I’m on my own?
Cole Nottingham: Who Did You Think I Was by the John Mayer Trio
Here is a line that you won’t understand:
I’m half of a boy, but I’m twice the man
Carry the weight of the world in the palm of my hand
Who did you think I was?

a Rafflecopter giveawayAbout the Author
Despite an unsettling resemblance to Japanese revenants, Rin always maintains her sense of hummus. Born and raised in Manila, Philippines, she keeps four pets: a dog, two birds, and a husband. Dances like the neighbors are watching.
She is represented by Rebecca Podos of the Helen Rees Agency. She is also fond of speaking in the third person, and may as well finish this short bio in this manner. While she does not always get to check her Goodreads page, she does answer questions posed to her here as promptly as she is able to.
