Being in a band is hard.
Being in a band where your lead singer is human, your guitarist is a half-vampire with feelings he refuses to acknowledge, your drummer's a deaf siren on the verge of snapping, your bassist is one broken KitKat away from a meltdown, and your backup vocalist is a hot werewolf who flirts like it's a competitive sport?
Welcome to The Sound of Sin.
🩸 Corbin - rhythm guitarist, half-vampire, 196 years of anxiety, probably wrote "I'm fine" in blood on a wall once. Accidentally (read: obviously) in love with the lead singer.
🎤 Vinny - human frontman, disaster bisexual, sings like a god and makes (mostly) terrible choices. Thinks he's in charge (he's not).
🥁 Cyrus - deaf siren drummer, permanently exhausted™, hiding trauma like it's a game he needs to win.
🎸 Heidi - fawn bassist, sweet and soft until she absolutely isn't, currently held together by duct tape and iced coffee.
🐺 Felix - backup vocals, resident werewolf flirt, comic relief, and proud owner of zero boundaries and a heart of gold.
They make music. They make out (sometimes). They make mistakes.
Expect:
✨ slow-burn queer romance (or not slow at all 👀)
🔥 steamy moments that you've been waiting for
💀 trauma bonding (literally)
💋 monster yearning, messy hookups, and emotional whiplash
🎶 plus at least two scenes where someone storms off dramatically (probably Vinny)
If you like monsters with feelings, found family with issues, and bandmates who can't keep their hands off each other or their emotional baggage...
you're gonna love this chaotic ride.
🎤 I made a Spotify playlist of songs the band would actually perform-aka their setlist 🎸🔥 Check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6VlOjMAgJwkWgLhNQp63Ei?si=EXNRWvaXTNKpsV5YH1GCnw&pi=CCssx3SsRjWI0

I cheated on my fiancée.
Sophie and I were building our future. In love, happy, peaceful. Then she found a lump in her breast and I made the worst choice: I numbed my fear by sleeping with someone else. My worst mistake and my biggest regret. Now I see Sophie around town with him. She's radiant and laughing with people who actually show up. I'm trying to learn how to be a man who does. If she lets me, I'll spend the rest of my life proving I can choose her when it's hardest. If she lets me...
SOPHIE
I thought the promise was in sickness and in health.
But he buried his fear in someone else. On the same night, I walked into a bookstore and meet the gentle giant owner who invites me to his book club full of misfits.
I'm laughing again, I smile more than I ever have, I heal my heart.
My ex says he can learn to stay, but my bookstore owner keeps showing up like it's as easy as breathing. I don't know what the future holds; I don't know if I'll win this battle against cancer, but I do know I'm done wasting time on people that love only when it's easy.

She came in to Rivers & Rhodes Bookstore and asked for books with happy endings only.
I gave her a recommendation, an invitation, and an offer of friendship. Now, this beautiful brave woman is completely under my skin. I'm not here to win a competition against him. I'm here because choosing someone, second by second, is the only way I understand love.
