1949 by Mallory Knox

When my grandma passed away, my brother created a video of her. My brother loves alternative rock music so I'm not surprised that the background music that he used is a rock music. I don't object cause I can handle his genre in fact he is my influence why I like listening to his kind of music. We played the video on the third night of the wake of my grandma and I'm really surprised the melody is very smooth and the lyrics just blew me away. I've cried while watching the video cause I've missed my 'Ima', she is the one who took care of me when I was young, the video shows a lot of picture of us happy. My tears just keep on flowing cause I can feel the meaning of the song it really capture my heart, it is a story of an old couple with undying love for each other. Even as they aged she is still beautiful in his eyes.
I wanna share some of the lyrics of the song, 1949 by Mallory Knox.

Fear of Falling by S.L. Jennings


I can’t remember the last time I felt completely safe. Security seemed more like a luxury to me, reserved for those who were fortunate enough to have picture perfect childhoods. For those who didn’t bear the ugly scars that keep me bound in constant, debilitating fear. I’ve run from that fear my entire life. But when I met him, for once, I couldn’t run anymore.

He scared the hell out of me in a way that excited every fiber of my being. It wasn’t the tattoos or the piercings. It wasn’t the warmth that seemed to radiate from his frame and blanket me whenever he was near. It was just…him. The scary beautiful man that threatened to alter 23 years of routine and rituals, and make me face my crippling fear.

My name is Kami and I am constantly afraid. And the thing that scares me the most is the very thing I want.

“Don’t worry,” he smiled, pulling me into the hard warmth of his chest. “I’ve got you. I’ll always catch you when you fall.”


And just like that, Blaine had staked his claim on the untouched part of me that no living soul had ever moved. He had captured every fear, every reservation, and crushed them in the palm of his inked hand.

My Review

Fear. What do you feared the most? is it to be hurt? to be broken into pieces? to be left alone? or to be loved?

Most of the books that I've read nowadays is all about the secret past of the lead characters it differs on what secret they supposed to hide. In this story is all about the abuse that Kami encounter when she was a child and she carries the scars until adulthood. All the while she knew she can handle her past and move on she meets the hot and sexy bartender Blaine, the ever loving Blaine, who's willing to accept and catch her when she falls.

The story is well written, very clear, and heart warming, and not just your ordinary story it tackles a very sensitive topic that most women encounter in their childhood. I love the choice of songs included in the book, I love the part when Kami sang one of the famous songs of Paramore, "The Only Exception" I cried at that part of the book, cause you can feel her struggles and fear and willing to open up just for one more person who can actually save her.

Love, love, love the story I'm looking forward to read more books from this talented author! It is simply the best.
