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?
Scala, by author Christina Bauer, is the second installment in the authors Angelbound Origins series. 19-year old Myla Lewis rose to become the Great Scala at the end of Angelbound. As the Great Scala, Myla Lewis (part human/part demon) is the only being who can move Purgatory’s souls to Heaven or Hell. But there is a huge problem. No, there's actually two problems. The first is something called Lucifer's Orb, the ultimate source of demonic magic, is interfering with Myla sending souls anywhere but straight to Hell.
The second problem is much more dangerous. The
containment fields where the souls are waiting are bursting at the
seams. Myla
wants to stick to her beliefs and not risk the souls of those meant for
Heaven going to Hell, but she is running out of time and risking all of Purgatory if
the souls break free and overrun the living. Lastly, Lady Adair, is sabotaging Myla at every turn. But she has also found a way to steal
some of the igni which is what the Scala uses to move souls, from Myla.
How is she able to do this? And Adair obviously has help.
There are some positives. Myla's new Scala robes can change to armor, very resourceful when you are part wrath demon and under constant attack. Her relationship with her mother, who is now the President of Purgatory, and her newly discovered father Xavier, has grown stronger. Each of her parents have their strengths that come in handy when Myla needs help the most. I am also glad to report that Lincoln's own mother is much more helpful now that she knows that Myla isn't a one hit wonder, as it were. Myla has an attitude, and can almost always back up her swagger. Just like Lincoln's mother.
As with Angelbound, Bauer adds an addition 4 chapters she's calling Epilogue. I do not believe one can read this book as a standalone as everything is connected. Just like I don't think one can read Acca, without reading the first two installments. Once I am finished with Acca, I will determine whether to continue to the rest of the series or not. Depends if I can get another fantastic deal on a boxed set.
