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. Myla lives for the days
she gets to fight in Purgatory’s Arena. That is, until she meets Prince
Lincoln, a super-sexy half-human and half-angel demon hunter. But what’s
a quasi-demon girl to do when she falls for a royal demon killer? With a
love with fighting for, Myla’s about to shake up the after-realms.
Christina Bauer's Angelbound is the first installment in what's being called the Angelbound Origins. 18-year-old Myla Lewis is a Quasi-Demon, mostly human, with demon DNA. Myla lives in Purgatory with her mother Camilla. She has no clue as to who her father was due to her mother's failure to enlighten her about what happened 20 years ago that saw the Quasi become slaves to Ghouls. Purgatory is
populated by Demons, Ghouls, and Quasi. What makes Myla interesting is that she's an arena fighter who is called to service whenever a soul is to be judged.
Myla doesn't use weapons. She has a tail like most Quasi, and the tail makes her nearly indestructible. Every Quasi-Demon has one of the 7 deadly sins they're aligned with. For Myla, hers is wrath. When a soul arrives in Purgatory, they are given a choice. Trial by Jury or combat. If they choose combat, those like Myla steps in. The fight is always to the death. If the soul loses the challenge, they go to Hell. If they win, they go to Heaven. As
the best fighter, they save the nastiest ones for her.
Myla enjoys her battles in the
arena, particularly when it’s against a demon and she keeps extensive
notebooks on how to beat the various demon races. To make things more interesting, Myla and her friend Cissy attend a party where Myla meets Lincoln, the High Prince of the Thrax who has no love for the Quasi since his people hunt demons. Myla also has part lust demon in her which makes it hard for her to stay away from Lincoln who is half-human, half-angel.
When the demons start to
act weird, even for demons, and the King of the Demons, Armageddon,
shows up at Myla’s school, things begin to change. Angels are visiting the school, which never happens, and the Angels want the students to learn to fight and protect themselves which offends the Oligarch, a group of 4 Ghouls who are aligned with Armageddon. Something is up and
when it comes to Armageddon, that something could indeed have dire
consequences.
Myla starts to question everything, and doesn’t like the answers she finds. Around
twenty years ago, demons invaded purgatory and left ghouls running
things. There's a reason why Myla’s mom is super over-protective and won’t say anything about
her life before the war. The only person who seems to have any concern Myla's people is Verus, an Angel who is also an oracle who seems to be pushing Myla towards something greater than an arena fighter. It is through Verus that readers will come to solve the mystery of what happened 20 years ago, and what's to come for Myla, Cissy, Walker, and Lincoln in the near future.
Angelbound is part of a Angelbound Origins Box Set which includes the first three installments in this series.
