“If you've been looking for your newest horror obsession after The Haunting of Hill House, read this one next.”—BuzzFeedShe didn't run from her dark past. She moved in. For the lucky among us, life is what you make of it; but for Dixie Wheeler, the theme music for her story was chosen by another long ago, on the day her father butchered her mother and brothers and then slashed a knife across his own throat. Only one-year-old Dixie was spared, becoming infamously known as Baby Blue for the song left playing in the aftermath of the slaughter. Twenty-five years later, Dixie is still desperate for a connection to the family she can’t remember. So when her childhood home goes up for sale, Dixie sets aside all reason and moves in. But as the ghosts of her family seemingly begin to take up residence in the house that was once theirs, Dixie starts to question her sanity and wonders if the evil force menacing her is that of her father or a demon of her own making. In order to make sense of her present, Dixie becomes determined to unravel the truth of her past and seeks out the detective who originally investigated the murders. But the more she learns, the more she opens up the uncomfortable possibility that the sins of her father may belong to another. As bodies begin to pile up around her, Dixie must find a way to expose the lunacy behind her family’s massacre to save her few loved ones who are still alive—and whatever scrap of sanity she has left.

"Theme Music is T. Marie Vandelly's debut novel, and I loved it so much. This book is a fantastic blend of horror and thriller, and I would recommend it for fans of both. I could see this book still being on my favorites list at the end of the year. It's a fascinating and gruesome story. I think the bloodiness of it is much more on the horror side than thriller, so thriller fans, just be aware going in that this one is super graphic. Theme Music is well-written, grim, and entertaining. I was completely captivated the entire time I was reading it, and I can't wait to see what T. Marie Vandelly does next. This is a must-read for this summer!"
"This book was INSANE! I was hooked from the first page and it just kept getting more intense. Highly recommend if you’re looking to read a very scary book this fall:) I will say it gets pretty descriptive of the gore so if you’re sensitive to that then please don’t read or look at trigger warnings first!"
"Interesting plot twists. Creepy and the prologue was a little too gruesome for me but the book was fantastic "
