{Audio Book Blog Tour: Review + Giveaway} Angelbound - By Christina Bauer


=================

Author: Christina Bauer
Website
Release Date: 12/30/2016
Purchase Info: Amazon ~ Audible


*Now an audio book!*
Eighteen-year-old Myla Lewis is a girl who loves two things: kicking ass and kicking ass. She’s not your everyday quasi-demon, half-demon, and half-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 has not lost a battle yet.
But as she starts her senior year at Purgatory High, the arena fights are not 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 is not looking good for the quasi-demons. Myla starts to question everything, and does not like the answers she finds. What happened 17 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 half-human and half-angel demon hunter. But what does a quasi-demon girl to do when she falls for a demon hunter? It’s a good thing that Myla is not afraid of breaking a few rules. With a love worth fighting for, Myla is going to shake up Purgatory.

Marvelous!

My first audio book review ever, and I couldn't be more thrilled than to review Angelbound!!

When I first knew that the entire book was being narrated by the author, I was a little skeptical, but she truly brought every character to life.

Myle is a badass, there's no doubt about it, she kick-ass and takes names. Making sure there is  balance in her twisted world is what she's aiming for, yet there is something lurking in the shadows waiting to take her down.....

One of my favorite things about this entire story line was how everything ended up intertwining together. All the plots, side-plots and details landed together at the end. The demons, Angels and everything in-between had a very organic combination. I commend the author on her fantastic plot development during Myla's entire journey through this novel. She was able to keep her sassy, smarta$$ quality, all while vanquishing those who do not belong.

I will say that I fell in love with the inner love story. It reminded me of something that J.R. Ward would write, but there was no denying it was 100% original. It warmed my heart and made me slightly jealous.

Now I cannot wait to see where Myla's badass-ness takes her in the next installment in this series! Because it's going to be a wild ride for sure!!

{Cover Reveal} Wolves and Roses - By Christina Bauer


 
================

Wolves & Roses  - By Christina Bauer
(Fairy Tales of the Magicorum #1)
Published By: Monster House Books
Release Date: 3/28/2017
Genres: Paranormal, Young Adult


Seventeen-year-old Bryar Rose has a problem. She’s descended from one of the three magical races—shifters, fairies, or witches. That makes her one of the Magicorum, and Magicorum always follow a fairy tale life template. In Bryar’s case, that template should be Sleeping Beauty.
“Should” being the key word.
Trouble is, Bryar is nowhere near the sleeping beauty life template. Not even close. She doesn’t like birds or woodland creatures. She can’t sing. And she certainly can’t stand Prince Philpot, the so-called “His Highness of Hedge Funds” that her aunties want her to marry. Even worse, Bryar’s having recurring dreams of a bad boy hottie and is obsessed with finding papyri from ancient Egypt. What’s up with that?
All Bryar wants is to attend a regular high school with normal humans and forget all about shifters, fairies, witches, and the curse that Colonel Mallory the Magnificent placed on her. And she might be able to do just that–if only she can just keep her head down until her eighteenth birthday when the spell that’s ruined her life goes buh-bye.
But that plan gets turned upside down when Bryar Rose meets Knox, the bad boy who’s literally from her dreams. Knox is a powerful werewolf, and his presence in her life changes everything, and not just because he makes her knees turn into Jell-O. If Bryar can’t figure out who—or what—she really is, it might cost both her and Knox their lives… as well as jeopardize the very nature of magic itself.

For Elea, there’s never been a better time to turn away from witch life. The Tsar is in exile. The Vicomte is dead. And Rowan? Falling for him only broke her heart. Instead of casting spells, Elea spends her days running Braddock Farm and enjoying the flirtations of the very handsome and non-magical Philippe. Everything is going perfectly, except for one problem. 
Someone’s trying to kill her. 
Shujaa is a Changed One, a Creation Caster mage whose mutated form makes him invincible in battle. Now that the Tsar and Vicomte are gone, Shujaa wants to rise and rule. To do so, he must eliminate all those powerful enough to oppose him, and Elea is top on his list. Anyone who offers her aid quickly ends up dead. 
In the end, there’s only one person who can keep Elea safe while helping her defeat Shujaa: Rowan. Like it or not, Elea must team up with her old love. With Philippe along for the ride, Elea plans to team with Rowan without losing her heart this time. But that’s when all her plans fall apart…
