Scala (Angelbound Origins #2)

I honestly feel like this series just keeps getting better. There are little quirks in Bauer\’s writing that some people might not like, but I love the snark, I love the sarcasm, and most of all, I LOVE the world that she\’s created.

Myla is back in book 2, picking up a few months after the end of book one. Myla is now the Great Scala and with those powers come some terrible responsibilities. Number one being moving souls to either Heaven or Hell, but with the hidden orb in Purgatory, the only place the souls can go is Hell. So while trying to find the orb, Myla is also trying to keep the overflowing souls contained, steal some alone time with her hunny Lincoln, and dodge Lady Adair, who has made it her goal to be the thorn in Myla\’s side. Just another day in Purgatory for Myla. I literally could not stop listening to this book, I was so on the edge of my seat worrying over everything Myla had to deal with. Seriously, this was stressful and real life kept getting in my way, and I loved every minute of the story. I was sucked into the plot and everything Myla went through, I went through right along with her. The book was such a good mix of non-stop action and conflict, with romantic tension and complex, continuing to evolve characters. Also, the few sweet encounters with Myla and Lincoln were heart melting and 100% confirmed that they belong together- the fact he supports her in any capacity is swoon worthy. The author was back to narrate the second book and I could not have been happier. Keep in mind I own all the books in the series as ebooks, but I will gladly wait until the author has created audio versions for me to listen to because she brings them to life in a way I probably could not have imagined if I read them on my own. Christina gives all the characters personality and voice, creating a full picture for the reader (listener) to get wrapped up in. Myla is hands down my favorite, due in part to her personality, random ramblings and special touches Christina uses to bring her to life. I know that if Myla was a real person and not the Great Scala living in Purgatory, we would be good friends- my snark would recognize her snark. I can\’t wait to continue the series, but I will patiently (ok not so patiently, but I have no other option) wait for the rest of the series to become audiobooks. I have forced book 1, Angelbound on so many people (who eventually gave into my demands, mwhahaha) and they loved it as much as I did. This series is so much fun, with great characters and world building unlike I have ever seen before, that I would easily recommend it to anyone looking for a supernatural read with a great female main character. In case from my ramblings it was not apparent, I love this book and can\’t wait to read (aka listen to Christina read) more.

I love it…. the series as well as the author narrating her own book it really gives the story the intended life and energy it was meant to have!!!

Christina Bauer performs her story amazingly, great story… I can\’t wait for the last few books to drop in the series…

The first two books in this series are phenomenal! I rarely stay engaged with a series if it is a template of the previous book in the series with minor changes. With Christina Bauer you get a fresh approach throughout each book. She also does an extremely stellar job on the audible narration. Thanks Christina for going the distance for your readers….it shows.
