Cover Description:
Follow the adventures of Myla Lewis in the ANGELBOUND ORIGINS SERIES, Books 1-3. This bundle may be read as a standalone or as a prequel to the ANGELBOUND OFFSPRING SERIES.
ANGELBOUND (Book 1)Myla Lewis is a girl who loves two things: kicking ass and kicking ass. She’s not your everyday quasi-demon, part-demon and part-human, girl. Myla lives for the days she gets to fight in Purgatory’s Arena. That is, until she meets Prince Lincoln, a super-sexy half-human and half-angel demon hunter. But what’s a quasi-demon girl to do when she falls for a royal demon killer? With a love with fighting for, Myla’s about to shake up the after-realms.
SCALA (Book 2)Myla Lewis has a whole lot of trouble. A magical object called Lucifer’s Orb is threatening millions of souls, and it’s Myla’s job to make it go away. Plus, an old enemy is plotting to separate Myla from her Angelbound love, Prince Lincoln. But Myla and Lincoln are fighting back. Can they stop the Orb, save Purgatory’s souls, and stay together… Or will both the after-realms and their relationship be destroyed?
ARMAGEDDON (Book 3)Myla Lewis once fought gladiator-style in Purgatory’s Arena. Now, she’s fighting again, only this time in Hell. And the stakes have never been higher. The King of Hell, Armageddon, has kidnapped Myla and Lincoln’s young son, Maxon. With so much at risk, Myla knows the time has come to kick Armageddon’s ass or die trying. Don’t miss the exciting conclusion to the ANGELBOUND ORIGINS series!
Read on for my thoughts on Angelbound Origins. No true spoilers, promise.
This bundle includes the 3 stories that make up the Angelbound Origins series. Each could be bought and read individually – while everyone’s definition of “stand alone novel” is slightly different, I personally believe that this is one series where starting at 1 and moving onward is necessary. Of course, if you have any intention of picking up the next Angelbound series Offspring – then this bundle is a very convenient way of grabbing all 3 novels in one shot.
I was very taken by the world building in this series. In a paranormal which includes demons and angels, and getting a glimpse of hell, the author really has to be able to visually take me into that environment. Reading is 90% imagination, but most of us need something to build on to make that imagination become realistic or the story falls apart… at least, that is my take on it. I had absolutely no doubts where I was or the horrors I was seeing throughout all three books.
The cover description gives a brief introduction to each story, so I don’t intend to rehash that. But I did enjoy the relationship between Myla and Lincoln as it grew from one thing and morphed into something totally different. It also helped that their romance was relatively drama free, there was enough of that in other aspects of the story. The secondary characters were very good compliments to the main characters. They didn’t take over the story, but instead enhanced it and enriched the main story.
If you are a fan of paranormal or even fantasy, then this would be a series I would recommend for you. Each novel takes you forward to a very rich and satisfying conclusion.
*I received an e-ARC of Angelbound Origins from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. That does not change what I think of this novel.*
