Publisher's summary

***Anniversary Edition With Bonus Story***

In just one week, supernatural warrior Myla Lewis must discover enough evidence to send the evil House of Acca to prison or she will end up in jail herself, along with her fiance, Prince Lincoln. No pressure.

To gather proof, Myla and Lincoln go undercover at an all-girl high school on Earth. Lincoln acts as the new gym teacher; Myla becomes the least popular transfer student ever. To stop them from getting the goods, Acca releases Hell on Earth. Literally. Good thing Myla and Lincoln aren't afraid of a tough fight. This one promises to be the hardest yet. After all, who ever said high school was any but hell?

To Christina Bauer

I really love all the books I've read so far really love all the audio books enjoy all of them can't wait for the next thank you

Give us more!

I’m totally intrigued by the concept of the series. I really want more books more details... and you could totally spice it up 😉 totally did not see the ending coming. Thanks for creating a great new world.

Myla kicks butt and takes names!

Myla and Lincoln are approaching the deadline for gathering evidence to prove that the house of Acca is corrupt, with only a week left. On top of that, their wedding is the day after the court case. Just when it seems like everything is ready, something terrible happens and they are left scrambling to find the answers. If they can't prove Acca's guilt, they themselves will be found guilty. Their future and the future of the Thrax is on the line.

This is book three in the Angelbound series and they have to be read in order! Please don't start here because you will have no idea what is going on, and you will miss out on all the awesomeness that is Myla. I guess that this book was an add-on form the original series order, but I am glad that it was squeezed in because I enjoy the Myla-Lincoln relationship evolution and the snarky humor that I have come to love from Myla.

​I was a little miffed that at times the story had a lot or repetition that I felt was unnecessary and could have been left out. For example, every time Myla mentioned her best friend Sissy, she referenced Sissy as "her best friend Sissy". I know who Sissy is, I didn't need her position explained every time she was mentioned in the story. Also, her father has AMAZING powers and I heard all about it every time he was mentioned. In case you didn't know, he has powers, FYI. It was not a big deal, it was just a little tedious. Keep in mind that I pretty much powered through the first three books​ so there was a little more repetition than I needed since everything was fresh in my mind, but I did encounter more repeating of things than I care for in this book.

​I think this book was a good story, with LOTS of moving parts, I just don't feel like I was 100% engaged while listening like I had been with the first two audiobooks in the series. I feel like at times my attention drifted due to some redundancy in the story and then I would have to rewind the part I missed and I still felt like it may not have been important to the plot anyway. The last 3rd of the story was where most of the action and the super important reveal tidbits lived, so there if you blink (or you know, don't listen for a second) something crucial could have exploded in the story. For me personally, the first 2/3rds were just filler to get to the awesome stuff that I have come to expect from this series.

The narrator aka the author Christina Bauer did a wonderful job yet again bringing the characters to life and giving them their own personalities and voices, I really could not even begin to imagine someone else doing a better job than her. ​She makes the humor that already exists in the pages come to life, for example Myla's nicknames like Fish-Stick Grandpa, and the random commentary such as unfeminine forest rocks that make all human girls fall down, as per every movie and the demanding wedding gifts of kittens and baby pandas (totally normal, expected wedding gifts). And the acknowledgements are freaking hysterical, as per the norm, and I highly recommend that you listen to her after the story ends.

I have enjoyed all three books that I have read in this series (listened to?), and I highly recommend that you read them in order and listen to the audiobooks.

Love the performance

it's amazing when the author does her own book. she knows how she wants it to come across and it great. loved it.

my personal thoughts

I sincerely enjoyed the story in your voice especially a little cutscene that you did have a very end that made me laugh a lot and I would recommend this for people who just enjoy love stories and drama

Love it!

Loved it! Strong female character and I love her wit and her kick ass attitude. She's strong from beginning to end and I love that! Can't wait to continue with this series.

Cannot Wait

I did not expect this book to go the direction it did, and I cannot lie, I love how it went. There's just something so earnest about the way Bauer writes. You can honestly tell she LOVES her world, her characters, and most of all actually writing. This is one of those indie books that isn't uncomfortably indie--if you know what I mean. There's actual care and passion.

My one nitpick is the occasional repetition of things that don't necessarily NEED to be repeated. That includes, but is not limited to explaining what Myla's igmy (I apologize, I have to guess how to spell it, thanks audible) look like, and just occasional things like Sissy being described as her best friend multiple times. Yes, we know and love Sissy, we don't gotta hear it every time.

But like I said, I'm nitpicking. I love that Myla and Lincoln are so confident in their feelings for each other. I love that they don't ever just spend half a chapter worrying about how strong the other is, and telling each other "you can't do it because you're not strong enough" despite repeatedly showing that they're more than strong enough. It's a partnership through and through.

Awesome stories

love all of the angelbound books and Christina narrating style. can't wait to listen to next one!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

Another Hit!

This woman is hoot! except when action is needed they talk to much. He always gives chances where there should be none. too much as happen for him to still be that way to certain people. Nut other than that, it is still good listening.
