About this listen
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.

Story
There’s only one rule in the world I come from. Keep our existence a secret. Period. The day my sister broke that rule one too many times, I knew there would be consequences. I expected us to be sent to one of those schools for “troubled” kids - and maybe Daizlei Academy was, in a way. But really, it was far more complicated than that. You see, I thought that world had forgotten me. Forgotten us. For years we were left alone, and one day...we weren’t. It was only when I got there that I remembered the second rule: Trust no one.

I thought I had everything figured out. I’d gone to the academy for witches and mastered my magic. I’d opened my own witchy occult store, just as I always wanted. And my family was as close as ever. Everything was going according to plan. Until the wolves showed up and dragged me back to their land. It was all a misunderstanding. They had the wrong girl, the wrong idea. I was just a witch. And then I shifted. But nothing is as it appears…and now my life is in danger.

Love it!!!!!
I loved this book. The narrator voice takes the first 2 chapters to get used to but once you get used to her it’s highly addictive to listen to. I’ve read (listened) to it multiple times. I think her descriptions of the world and characters is great. I love the main character especially since she’s a kick ass warrior. I love the words the writer used to. Overall I loved the book. Great storyline!

Angelbound was fantastic!
Myla lives her existence in Purgatory, kinda sorta following the rules of the quasi-demons, living for the days she is called to serve in the Arena. There she is able to use her kickass fighting skills to battle evils souls to send them to Hell. Her humdrum life is thrown of its head when she encounters an arrogant Thrax boy, who just so happens to be the Prince of all the Thrax. Not to mention her mom is even more evasive about her mysterious father, her best friend (aka only friend) Sissy has a time-consuming boyfriend, and she has been getting some unexpected attention from the Angels and the Demons during the arena matches. Myla has no idea, but her world will never be the same.
I have owned this as an ebook for the last few years but I never got around to reading it. When I was offered the chance to listen to it as an aubiobook I was interested. I was a tiny bit hesitant since the author was reading it and not a trained professional (I have no idea if audiobook narrators get training, but I am just throwing it out there), and I am super picky about my narrators but I figured that I would give it a shot. Which, by the way, I am so glad I did. I absolutely loved this book as well as everything about the performance from the author. After finishing the audiobook, I immediately went and purchased all the available books in the series, but honestly, I would (happily) rather wait and have them read by the author. Make sure you listen to the afterward (acknowledgement?) by the author after the story, it was hysterical.
Myla was such a great character. She was strong, competent, snarky, considerate, no-nonsense and knew who she was and liked herself the way she was. She always did the right thing, even if she knew there would be consequences. I loved seeing the Wrath demon side of her and how emotions brought out different aspects of the demon. Also, the fact her tail had a mind of it's own was incredibly entertaining.
The author created such a multilayered world, with so many unique types of supernatural created and a crazy hierarchy and rules unlike anything I have seen. I enjoyed the history of Purgatory as well as how everything fit together.
Overall this was a great fantasy/action/mystery with some touches of romance and a heaping of humor (with an awful cliffhanger like ending that had just a hint of hope). I can't wait to read the rest of the books (ie have them read to me) and now I am a super fan girl (and I heart Lincoln).

Fantastic strong female lead character
I like the world she has created and find the story intriguing.
I love the strong female lead character that does not need men to do her fighting for her.
I will introduce this story to my daughters when they are older.
The main characters use of her tail adds an interesting and believable element to the fight scenes that makes them so much better.
.
I would recommend this book to any young adults and mature children.

Great, fun story!
Have you listened to any of Christina Bauer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
The author/narrator knows how she wants her characters to be portrayed, and she generates that exact energy into her narrative. And she didn’t record it in her bathroom. This audio book is legit. The story is fun.
Any additional comments?
I am surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I am not very big on horror, per se. To be honest, I don't think i even noticed that detail while listening. It felt like a paranormal and I didn't feel like it was gory. Not only was the story entertaining, but the author’s visualization of the characters and what transpires throughout the book, it’s all very lively and adventurous. I finished reading, listening to this book while sitting in my new bedroom without internet. I would like to apologize that this review is up so late. I honestly thought I would have my internet back in time to post on my date, but sometimes things are just out of our control. Right?

Nothing Better Than A Book Read by the Author
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Christina Bauer's stories are engaging, humorous, and keep you wanting more! She spends just the right amount of time developing her characters, and still leaves you with a hearty plot to sink your teeth into. I recommend this book to anyone who likes inventive fantasy, gripping characters, and the perfect touch of romance.
What does Christina Bauer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Christina wrote these characters and therefore knows better than anyone not just how they should sound, but the inflections, moods and intentions behind each line of dialogue. Her voice is easy to listen to and keeps you engaged in the story without any distractions.
