Nothing like a deadline to put the exclamation point on the troubles Myla and Lincoln have. Seven days stand between them and the ambiance of an Aca prison. In a desperate play to find proof that dark magic has been used to usurp the honor of Myla’s rightful title as Great Scala and to save their upcoming nuptials, Myla and Lincoln must head to Earth and Myla’s personal version of hell, high school. It is here they must uncover the proof they need in order to save Hell overpowering all the realm ...more

Another amazing book in the Angelbound series! This is one of my favourite series and I absolutely cannot wait to read the next book, as well as the last one in the series.

We continue the story basically where Scala left off. After the death of Adair, Aldred goes straight to work to ruin the lives of Myla and Lincoln. This time, while Myla and Lincoln are out gathering evidence to send the House of Acca to prison, all their evidence is stolen and the guard killed. With Myla and Lincoln about to ...more

In this third book, Myla and Lincoln are up against Lady Adair's father, Aldred, and of course Armageddon. If Aldred and Armageddon get possession of a magical coin, demons will be able to leave hell and create havoc everywhere.

Once again we follow Myla and Lincoln’s intertwined fates as the Great Scala and the Crown Prince of the Thrax.

We find them gathering evidence to use against Aldred, the earl of Acca, who had been against Lincoln since his family had taken the crown and especially since a lust demon, a.k.a. Myla, captured the heart of the soon to be King.

First off, let me start by saying, finding the first book AngelBound in my local library, is one of the BEST things ever! This series is a whole lot of amazing and a ton of badassness!

CB truly has brought a whole new look to sci-if/fantasy and I am completely in love. The AngelBound Origins Series proves that just because you are a demon and live in purgatory doesn't mean you're bad and can't help save the world!

My Review:
After the last book, this one begins with Prince Lincoln and Myla demon hunting. They've bit off a little more than they can chew, but that's not going to stop them. They're trying to find a special book and a certain coin to keep safe from the devil himself, and the Acca household is trying to set them up for failure once again. Only this time, they have to go to Earth. It's a shady little all girls school called the Wheeler Institute. I started this book and knew I wouldn't be able to put it down until it's done.

Overall I don't really have to say much about it. This book was an enjoyable read. Although the characters haven't really developed through the series, they've stayed the same people we know and love, consistently. The book gets straight to the point, and is exactly what you would expect. Exciting, full of action, and a little romance. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in the next book. Definitely check it out if you get the chance, if you like supernatural demon girls from another world who always get the bad guy in the end, this series is for you.

I loved the first book of the series so much. So, imagine my disappointment when I ended up hating this.

My favorite thing about the first book was Myla's character; she seemed so funny and all-out kickass. But here, I only identified her as.... juvenile. She actually yelled "Eat death" before fighting. No, she was not joking, she was completely serious. I repeatedly found myself questioning her age and kept going back to reread the fact that she was about 20. She did not seem 20. At all.

After all, who ever said high school wasn’t hell?

Acca could be read as a standalone as there is enough information during the course of the story to catch a reader up on the events of previous books. However, for the full affect, I think it is better to read at least the first two in the series. I've also read the last book in the series Armageddon (as it was already out) and the two Angelbound Offspring books, so picked up on a bit of foreshadowing in this book!

THE WEDDING! Totally not a spoiler because Myla is wearing her wedding dress on the cover! Oh it was all kinds of perfect! Just Myla and Lincoln from start to finish! I was reading the wedding scenes with a smile on my face, and there's little doubt as to why.

Myla and Lincoln's relationship is well and truly established by this point. Despite the fact that the two of them have some major hurdles to overcome (like their people hating each other), their foundation is solid. The two of them work together well as a team and there is mutual respect. While they do want to protect each other, neither of them goes about it in a way that suggests the other isn't capable of that.

I'd forgotten how funny Myla is as a narrator! The last two Angelbound books I read where Maxon and Portia, the Offspring books which were narrated by their namesakes. Each of them is their own person, but neither of them come close to Myla in snarkiness! (Probably a good thing or I'd end up feeling very sorry for poor Lincoln!)

This book had it all, there was action, romance, and snark enough to make you smile! ...more

But the 3 days to get there has a lot of obstacles.

Then, Aldred is looking for Lucifer's coin to open up Hell and get Armageddon through...again. He's a thorn that keeps on growing in Myla's life.

Then they have to go to Earth to find both missing items, and act like a teacher and a student. But the things they see on that island would make anyone worried, so now they have to make sure the humans are safe before they go to court.

And to top everything off, both Lincoln and Myla's people hate the other one, and they have to get over that hurdle to be able to rule both worlds without a huge fight on their hands.

So it's safe to say that life for Lincoln and Myla will never be boring. Let's just hope they are able to make it down the aisle.

Such a great novel full of funny lines, kickass scenes, and lots of scheming and figuring out the next step. I very much love Myla. She is awesome and amazing and I want to be her friend. I also love how much she has opened up now that she's with Lincoln, and how confident she has become.

I am so so so frustrated with Lincoln's parents. They are spinless turds who just need to retire and live life with one another on an isolated island and never return. I thought his mother was cool, but the way she lets things get away when it comes to her husband is just terrible. They are supposed to be king and queen of their people, yet they are so blinded by things in their personal life that they cannot possible take care of their people. I am so glad Lincoln will be the new king because he cannot possibly be worse than Connor is right now.

I'm so excited to see what happens in the next book. I definitely recommend this series! :) ...more

I received a complimentary copy via NetGalley for review purposes.

It has been a while since I've read the previous books in Ms. Bauer's series that I'd forgotten how incredibly fun her character, the great Scalla truly is. A mix between Buffy and an millennial, her, first person narration is fun and flirty with enough sly Easter eggs for the book nerd out there, pages turn themselves.
Her world-building is excellent – her vision of Heaven, Hell and Purgatory with its royal families. Arch angels and arch-demons is nearly as eventful as the great master Dante Algeria.
However, there is a slight irritation of the constant use of first person, present tense to force a sense of tension that is unnecessary that draws away from the story. I will forgive, Ms. Bauer for that Hamiltonverse, the language usage is supreme and more of a weapon than any of the spells or ancient Angelic/Demonic weapons Ms. Bauer legacy will lie in the way her main character speaks and acts. And frankly, I want a demonbar for a nibble!
The side characters, from her future mother in law to Connor the keeper of all knowledge are interesting and half filled out but lacking in the Whedonverse in terms of fullness and completeness.
Again, her tail and it's absolute adorableness will win forgiveness as Ms. Bauer successfully combines Gen X and it's hispterness with Millennial's and their disaffectation.
The plot while not complex it certainly fun. It, again reminds one of the Buffyverse and should be highly complimented for this.
I particularly approve of the soon to be mother in law. Octavia. She combines both a 60's superheroine with and 80's diva. Out of 5, Octavia alone scales a 5.
The male characters seem to lack the depth of Ms. Bauer's female characters, something which I am willing to forgive her on the basis of how many male writers slim down their female characters to either pushy broads or flighty chicks.
All together, 6 out of 5 for the humor and sly wit. But since that is not allowed, 5 sly winks out of 5.https://smile.amazon.com/Acca-Angelbo... ...more

Myla and Lincoln are getting married! The two moms have the wedding all planned out. Lincoln’s mom has a ball planned for Myla before the wedding one which Myla does not want to attend but of course that would be so very rude. Although she doesn’t want to go to the ball she will because that is the right thing to do or the grown up thing to do.

Although she doesn’t want to go to the ball she will because that is the right thing to do or the grown up thing to do.

Oh and did I mention that Myla and Lincoln are on their way to jail if they can’t prove their innocents. They only have a few days to gather all the evidence to bring before the Arbiter so she can decide the outcome of the case. The house of Acca has it in for Myla and Lincoln and wants them out of the way so they can take over Thrax so they are trying to send them to prison. So Myla and Lincoln must prove their innocents and stop the house of Acca and send them to prison instead for all the things they have done against the house of Thrax and save their people.

Myla and Lincoln travel to Earth to gather more evidence for their case and they only have a small window of time in order to do this. They are going undercover at a school on Earth to find the evidence they need to clear their names. Myla will be going in as a student and Lincoln as a teacher. Although Myla hates high school she is kind of looking forward to being on Earth as she will get to use all these techy devices like a cell phone, a computer, ect. All the things they don’t have in Purgatory as they don’t have internet. But oh how she is disappointed when she arrives at the school and finds they have no internet either.

Can Myla and Lincoln get the evidence they need so they can present their case to the Arbiter in time or will they go to jail? Will they gather the evidence before the wedding? Is the wedding or off? Can they prove their innocents? Does the house of Acca have the evidence to put Myla and Lincoln behind bars?

I can’t say enough how much I love this series or how awesome it is. The world building is out of this world. The author did a fantastic job of describing hell, purgatory and the after realms. Oh and the Igni. Myla is still just as amazing as ever with her snappy comebacks and she is one bad a** fighting machine. She has a tail with an attitude. Myla is part demon, angel and human. Her mom is a demon and her father is an angel. I can’t wait to read the next book Tharx to see where Myla and Lincoln take us next because if I know those two they are going to take us somewhere amazing.

If you love reading about demons, angels and a good fantasy book then you are going to adore Acca and Angelbound Origin series. Check them all out today! ...more

So, I liked this book a lot more than the last one, and I still love the characters. Lincoln has even grown on me.

He's also quite wise beyond his years, and he often gives Myla some insightful pep talks, accrediting his knowledge to his mother. But I think it's all him. I mean:

"You're a symbol for something inside those people, nothing more. You represent some corner of their own souls that they love or hate. You can't take either their praise or their hatred too seriously."

"If you accept their praise and light, then you must take in their hatred and darkness, too. And that's a horrible road to walk down. Because, ultimately, you have nothing to do with how they see you or treat you. It's all inside them."

--Lincoln to Myla

Downside--I feel like Myla is far more childish than she should be. I mean, she's still a teen, but it's on the late end. I think she's actually almost twenty at this point. Some of her language and childish behavior detracts from her position as the Great Scala and leader of her people. Now factor in Antrum, and she's got a lot of eyes on her. But this is still the same issue I took with the second book. Not huge, but it bothers me at times.

Another thing (besides that and the recurrence of even more repetition) that is just a pet peeve of mine is when colloquial phrases are used incorrectly. Regardless/Irregardless. Things like that. In this case, the one that stood out to me the most was with/without abandon. My writing major is rearing its head. Sigh. Also, as before, the eBook is riddled with typos. It's such a great series that it deserves to have a better format.

On that note, there are times when the story seems to backtrack, going over familiar ground and acting as though it is the first time the information is introduced. It happens once with Xavier and a couple other insignificant portions of the book, but it was slightly confusing.

If not for these strange things that distracted my writing major brain then I probably would have rated this one right up there with Angelbound as a five star. It was action-packed and so much more enjoyable than Scala. Maybe it was because there was a different way of presenting the politics? Or perhaps it was the introduction of some sweet, new bad guys? I'm not sure. Maybe it's a collective of all of it. But I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and there is a depth that returned to this installment. I look forward to Thrax!
