Coming Soon – Reaper Games

About Reaper Games (Angelbound Origins #11)

Live June 22nd on: Amazon / Nook / Kobo / Apple / GooglePlay

It’s a Death Match Against Grim and Regina Reaper!

The Great Scala Battles Regina Reaper

Myla Lewis is now a mother, wife, queen, Great Scala… and someone who adores a good battle. Cue Regina Reaper, a scythe-wielding ghoul who wants to steal the soul of Myla’s bestie, Cissy, in order to control every last ghost in the after-realms. Even worse, Lady Reaper is high-jacking Cissy’s wedding to finish her nefarious plans. To save Cis, Myla must cause new levels of trouble while Cissy and Zeke march down the aisle!

King Lincoln Fights the Grim Reaper

Regina Reaper isn’t working alone—her husband, Grim, is helping to enslave souls across the after-realms. It’s a good thing that Lincoln’s best friend, Walker, may know the secret to saving the day. But is Walker helping Lincoln… or secretly scheming with the Grim Reaper? 

It’s a race against time, ghouls, and wedding bells in this action-packed adventure!

In which Myla Lewis kicks ass and takes names. Nuff said.

Error Update – Angry Gods

Dear Readers,

As you may know, although preorders are live for my 2024 book, Angry Gods, on AppleGooglePlay, Kobo and Nook… things were a bit of a shit show on Amazon. My heartfelt apologies for the mix up 🙁

Did you get a placeholder? Let me know!

To offer pre-orders, some retailers/distributors require that I send them a placeholder copy of my book. In the case of Angry Gods, some folks received the Amazon placeholder as the real deal. Most folks were able to return the purchase. If you weren’t able to do so, please email me at cbauer (at) monsterhousebooks.com. I’ll make sure you get the book when it launches. And sincere thanks to everyone who has reached out to say they appreciate my efforts in both writing books and wrangling distribution. This is the indie life, and your support makes it possible for me to be a unique loudmouth in a world that’s becoming more artificially homogenized, if you know what I mean. 

A Look Behind the Scenes

As context, please know that I’m playing around with different ways to set up preorders so things move more smoothly. I feel like I have solidified a better system on other retailers, including my one-time nemesis, Googleplay. Amazon is still tricky, but I should have a new option for pre-orders by the time my book, Reaper Games, goes live next month. 

Don’t Want to Miss Angry Gods?

Sign up here if you wish to receive an email update when Angry Gods is live for preorders on Amazon. Again, other retailers are live now: AppleGooglePlay, Kobo and Nook.

Thanks once more for all your support and patience!

CB

Angry Gods Error

Dear Readers,

I am incredibly sorry to report that some of you may have received a placeholder copy of Angry Gods from Amazon as a “book.” The release date is actually 2024, which means that it should go live after next month’s book, Reaper Games. The date was/is correct in the distributor’s system, but that didn’t flow through to Amazon for some reason. I have a priority ticket through my distributor to find out what’s happening and how we can make this right. I could blame the disti but it’s also my responsibility to double-check their work. Going forward, I’ll make sure to do that. 

If you haven’t already, please email me at cbauer (at) monsterhousebooks.com so I can keep you in the loop directly. I’ll also post here with next steps as soon as I get word from the distributor.

Once again, my heartfelt apologies.

Christina

Reviewers are Talking About Archenemy

Readers are enjoying my new book about the true story of the archangel Xavier! Check out the reviews below…

“Snarky! Lovable! Worth the Wait!” – Sumita, NetGalley

“This is a new series in a familiar world with new characters and a new adventure. The re-imagining of Egyptian mythology is brilliant. I really enjoyed Xavier’s character; he is just a bad-ass, remaining true to Bauer’s characters as a whole. And that ending got me!” – Esther H., Amazon

“Christina Bauer has done it again! this book gives us the backstory that we’ve been missing and honestly gives us great insight on this world. loved it!” – T. Hillendahl, Amazon

“The story was entertaining, and I was hooked from the start; I think the story was well-paced, the worldbuilding was fantastic, and I love how the author used Egyptian mythology to add something more original to this fantasy story!” – The Book Enticer

About Archenemy (Angelbound Xavier Trilogy #1)

ORDER NOW: Amazon / GooglePlay / Apple Kobo / Nook

Ancient Egyptians. Powerful gods. Lost loves. And one badass warrior with wings. 

Welcome to the beautiful land of ancient Egypt… only it may not stay so lovely for long. The chaos god, Set, plans to destroy the human world. Fortunately, the angel Xavier has the perfect plan to imprison Set and fast. Even better, Xavier can enact his scheme alone… which is just the way he likes it. No partners. No complications. No problems.

Suddenly, a gorgeous woman materializes. Calling herself Camilla, she declares she’s from the future. All of which is strange enough, but things soon go from bad to weird when Camilla announces that she and Xavier must work together—it’s the only way to defeat Set.

Wow, does Xavier ever hate that idea.

The warrior angel decides on a strategic retreat. In other words, Xavier works to avoid Camilla at all costs. Turns out, that isn’t so easy. This mystery woman has set Xavier’s blood on fire in a way he’s never felt before. No matter how hard he tries, Xavier simply can’t desert her.

But is Camilla another element of Set’s destructive chaos magic… or is she Xavier’s only chance to save both himself and humanity?

Violins and Vampires – Now Live Across All Retailers!

My first adult book is now available across all major retailers, including:
Amazon / Apple / Nook / Kobo / GooglePlay

About Violins and Vampires (Vampires of the Daemonverse #1)

Lexa Uznetsov is trapped
To save my sister, I take on my father’s massive debt to Konstantin the Rus, leader of the New York Bratva. My life becomes a never-ending (and incredibly illegal) stakeout for the mob. There’s barely time to sleep, let alone find love. In desperation, I approach Caelin MacGregor, the handsome Scotsman who runs Empire Investments. After all, what’s the worst that can happen?

Caelin MacGregor is a lost king
Ages ago, I ruled a clan of Bloodkin vampires. My people are born to wield magic, drain humans, and live forever. That’s all over now. I’ve been alone for a thousand years. Today, I no longer care about the sunrise, let alone truly desire a woman. Then, I look upon Lexa. My world turns upside down…

“This is my new favorite series. And that’s saying a lot.” – Teresa H.

Scythe – The Apple Books Review

The Apple Books Editorial Board has reviewed my sci-fi book, Scythe! To celebrate, Scythe is free today across all major retailers: https://books2read.com/u/brqDXW

Please join me in thanking Apple for supporting independent creators and check out the review below…

“Set in a dystopian America with round-the-clock surveillance, Scythe introduces Meimi Archer, a 16-year-old tech prodigy whose stubborn outlaw streak quickly catches the eye of authorities. Kicking off Christina Bauer’s Dimension Drift series, this clever sci-fi/action romp also packs plenty of YA-appropriate comedy and even romance. Colourful characters (including love interest and would-be interdimensional prince, Thorne) and propulsive world-building put the reader right in the thick of things, where feisty and authentic Meimi proves to be the perfect guide.”
