Angelbound by
Christina Bauer was not the most amazing book this year, but it was pretty
entertaining. It’s your classic (weird
that it is now a classic…) Angel vs Demon vs Humanity vs Souls. Myla is a quasi-demon, meaning she is a mix
of some of the previously mentioned groups.
She lives in a world where everyone coexists in Purgatory, with issues
of course, and she is the bottom of the totem pole. Have you read books with angels and nephilim? The whole time everyone is hunting down, or
talking down to them because they show the greatest weakness of the
fallen? It’s almost like that, but with
a twist. “I am a quasi-demon (mostly
human with a little demon DNA). I’ve
spent all eighteen years of my life in Purgatory (…aka the most boring place in
the history of ever).”
There is also a love story, and of course she falls for
Lincoln, someone she shouldn’t want to be with because of what he is and what
she is; however, there’s a twist! Myla
isn’t what she thinks she is, and her mother has been keeping it a secret from
her. Now Myla must figure out who her
father is, where he is, what she is, what she feels for Lincoln, pass school,
avoid being on Armageddon’s radar, and bring a revolution like Purgatory has
never seen before.
Was it exciting? Yes,
but sometimes I felt that it was too long, some scenes too unnecessary. What I did like was Myla’s personality… to a point;
she really likes killing (FYI). There are
some golden nuggets of conversations that were really funny. Overall the experience was not terrible, I
gave this book 3 out of 5 stars, and I will most likely be reading the next
book.
Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for an early ARC.
