Publisher's Note: Christina Bauer is a non-linear thinker who came up with ARMAGEDDON and then went back and wrote some earlier books. This is why you'll see ARMAGEDDON (Book 7) and the Offspring series available before THE BRUTAL TIME (Book 6). We've told her to stop this practice, but she keeps giving us lewd hand gestures in response. Apologies in advance for any inconvenience.
Angelbound

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . ANGELBOUND (Anglebound Origins, #1) . . . The truth of things has a price so different from love. The reality of things has a different price also. What is truth and what is reality? Myla Lewis finds the difference can be life changing. The reality of things may change this quasi-demon’s view on her world and her place within it.
Myla was a kick-ass kinda girl that did it all in a mature way. I fell in love with her and her independence. Her spirit. Her fight. Just her period. She knew herself even if she did not know exactly where she came from. She had her mom but what about dad.
This was a YA read that transported you. Tempted you to think beyond the borders of your imagination and cross lines of reality. This was a woman on the edge of adulthood but this was most certainly a ya read. The violence was violent but not explicit or over the top. The lustful thoughts of a teen were just that. Everything was well rated and contained to suit the audience it was intended for. I loved the read. I was excited to be able to pick up the next book in the series. The flow was great. The characters varied and complex.
The details of the world were vivid and rich. There were some over explanation in areas but I could appreciate what was being presented. A full picture of the world was give and it was well received on my end. It allowed for my imagination to take full hold of what was being described.
I got lost in this world created by Christina Bauer with demons, quasi demons, angels, purgatory, hell on earth and so much more. I was transported to a world that was so unreal that it felt so real. I look forward to taking the time to listen to the audio. Especially since it was done by Christina herself. I believe she will be able to add that just right touch to make it come to life.
BLURB
Eighteen year old Myla Lewis is a girl who loves two things: kicking ass and kicking ass. She’s not your every day quasi-demon, part-demon and part-human, girl. For the past five years, Myla has lived for the days she gets to fight in Purgatory’s arena. When souls want a trial by combat for their right to enter Heaven or Hell, they go up against her, and she hasn’t lost a battle yet.
But as she starts her senior year at Purgatory High, the arena fights aren’t enough to keep her spirits up anymore. When the demons start to act weird, even for demons, and the King of the Demons, Armageddon, shows up at Myla’s school, she knows that things are changing and it’s not looking good for the quasi-demons.
Myla starts to question everything, and doesn’t like the answers she finds.What happened seventeen years ago that turned the quasi-demons into slave labor? Why was her mom always so sad? And why won’t anyone tell her who her father is? Things heat up when Myla meets Lincoln, the High Prince of the Thrax, a super sexy part-human and part-angel demon hunter. But what’s a quasi-demon girl to do when she falls for a demon hunter? It’s a good thing that Myla’s not afraid of breaking a few rules. With a love worth fighting for, Myla’s going to shake up Purgatory.
Scala
(Angelbound Origins, #2)

Monster House Books
The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . SCALA (Angelbound Origins, #2) . . . Myla has become a girl/young woman to be reckoned with. She has sharp tongue, quick witt, killer skills, and she holds the destination of souls in her hands. With all this she had to figure out a way to get the good souls to where they belong and not send all souls to hell. This book flowed so well from the first book of the series. We get going with Myla and her newly attained gift of transferring souls. Something stands in her way and she has to figure it all out and get things back on track.
Things in book one were more on the level of allowing you to get to know the world and to appreciate Myla. Now here in book two, the pacing has picked up and things are going off with lots of bangs. Lincoln and Myla are getting stronger with their relationship. Life is moving along for our Scala.
BLURB
Nineteen-year-old Myla Lewis has transformed into Great Scala, the only being with the power to move souls out of Purgatory and into Heaven or Hell. Trouble is, a magical object called Lucifer’s Orb is limiting Myla’s abilities. If she tries to move a soul, the Orb’s forcing her to send that spirit straight to Hell.
So, what’s a girl to do? Send innocents to the fiery down-under?
No way. Myla’s gone on a supernatural strike.
No souls go anywhere until the Orb’s history. It’s the right thing to do, but Purgatory’s Soul Storage buildings are turning into time bombs. No spirits are moving out, while millions keep coming in. Myla’s determined to find the Orb and send the innocent to Heaven, but she’s running out of time. Soon, the containment fields will burst, releasing a mob of homicidal ghosts.
With Soul Storage ready to explode, Myla’s got enough on her plate without her old enemy, Lady Adair, causing problems. Adair is launching an ingenious campaign to take away everything that Myla holds dear, including Myla’s Angelbound love, Prince Lincoln.
Between their clever ideas and toe-curling kisses, Myla and Lincoln are fighting back. But will they beat the clock or lose everything to Adair’s devious schemes?
Acca

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . ACCA (Angelbound Origins, #3) . . . "Supernatural warrior Myla Lewis must discover enough evidence to send the evil House of Acca to prison… or she’ll end up in jail herself, along with her fiancé, Prince Lincoln. No pressure."
This was just one heck of a way to go into reading this action-packed, adventured filled, supernatural fantasy romance. Myla had her hands full of getting the goods and keeping herself and her prince out of prison. This was no easy task. Things had a bite with twist turns and deception. Still filled with great well-developed characters and a plot-line that keep it coming. Sending Myla and Lincoln both back to high school, on Earth. There they get all kinds of things going. To find the truth Myla will do what it takes to survive.
Christina gave another great addition to this supernatural series that have me wanting more. Myla has all the witt, charm, gumption and strength to make a strong fierce role model for the young-ladies of today.
BLURB
In just one week, supernatural warrior Myla Lewis must discover enough evidence to send the evil House of Acca to prison… or she’ll end up in jail herself, along with her fiancé, Prince Lincoln. No pressure.
To gather proof, Myla and Lincoln go undercover at an all-girl’s high school on Earth. Lincoln acts as the new gym teacher; Myla becomes the school’s least popular transfer student ever. To stop them from getting the goods, Acca releases Hell on Earth. Literally. Good thing Myla and Lincoln aren’t afraid of a tough fight. This one promises to be the hardest yet. After all, who ever said high school wasn’t hell?
