***Extended version with an all-new wedding epilogue!!!*** Eighteen-year-old Myla Lewis is a girl who loves two things: kicking ass and kicking ass. She's not your every day quasi-demon, part-demon and part-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 hasn't lost a battle yet. But as she starts her senior year at Purgatory High, the arena fights aren't 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's not looking good for the quasi-demons. Myla starts to question everything, and doesn't like the answers she finds. What happened seventeen 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 part-human and part-angel demon hunter. But what's a quasi-demon girl to do when she falls for a demon hunter? It's a good thing that Myla's not afraid of breaking a few rules. With a love worth fighting for, Myla's going to shake up Purgatory. "Loved it! A confident, independent, kick-ass heroine who doesn't suffer fools gladly...

This audiobook was given to me by Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
It's a fascinating world-building, it takes place between different realms with demons, angels, ghouls, and quasi-demons, Trax hunters formed by royal families.

Myla Lewis is a strong young character (quasi demon), a protagonist who rather go fight in purgatory’s arena, where souls receive a trial by combat for their right to go either to heaven or hell than go to high school. Between her mom never speaking about the past and always being overprotecting towards Myla, a lot in her past it's a mystery who is her father. One thing she knows is her best friend keeps her sane in school and she does not have an interest in buys, ever ... until she finds an urge between kissing and killing a stranger... 

The writing is good, the descriptive elements help us a lot to engage in Myla's world and perspective. The fighting scenes are well done and the plot is very interesting. but overall I found it very slow too much happening and a bit repetitive. Overall this is a good book full of action.

This is a very fast paced and action filled young adult fantasy book. I really liked it. The plot is very quick but easy to follow. It’s full of angels, demons and other supernatural beings. 
I loved the characters and the relationships between them. 
I really loved the ending even though there is a bit of a cliffhanger and I now must go read the second book. 

The narrator was good. I liked the different voices they gave to the different characters. I imagined some of the voices differently but still the narrator brings the story to live.

El Extraño Gato del Cuento 

3.8 

Me encanta la portada Angelbound, no es el mejor trabajo, es bastante caricaturesco y aun así tiene algo que la hace bastante bonita, además porque al terminar el libro te das cuenta que es una escena importante la que evoca.

El contenido no me encantó como esperaba que lo hiciera, tiene una premisa interesante, pero es un poco lento por momentos. Al principio me confundió un poco, como bien dice la sinopsis el escenario es el Purgatorio, nunca leí nada ambientado ahí, porque lo que fue confuso e intrigante al mismo tiempo. Es una de esa pocas veces que en realidad estaba muy metida en la historia, preguntándome los como, dónde y cuando. Uno de sus puntos positivos es eso, quieres saber más y más sobre esta sociedad.

Los personajes están muy bien hechos, las características de cada uno, es algo que Christana Bauer desarrolla y explota muy bien, el libro explica que cada tipo de Quasi viene con un pecado capital incorporado (por decirlo de alguna manera xD) y nos lo muestra cuando es necesario y que sea consistente con la historia. La protagonista, Myla me encantó, badass le queda poco, es todo lo que puedes esperar sobre una heroína adolescente, no demasiado ruda como para que parezca irreal, pero no cursi que pierde sentido en la historia.

Lincoln, nuestro protagonista sexy, me ha gustado mucho su personaje, es seguro de sí mismo, no en la manera medio imbécil que está ahora de moda con los personajes (bueno, sí, pero muy poquito) y también porque ve como su igual a Myla. Eso es algo que aprecio un montón.

Angelbound me gustó bastante, es una historia bien construida, con una historia secundaria también bastante buena, aunque por alguna razón no llegué a meterme tanto, quizá porque fue un libro un poquito largo. Le puse en un 3.8/5 . Es un libro bastante recomendable, me ha gustado lo suficiente para estar emocionada por el segundo libro que se publica en Mayo, sobre todo estoy ansiosa porque la escritora no nos está alargando la historia dando vueltas en lo mismo, sino que ampliará nuestros horizontes con toda esta nueva sociedad.
