So it actually felt good to get back into this series after a long time. I can't believe how much I missed the characters.
Also these additional books give more of a back story so you understand the series and characters better.
My favorite character as always is Lincoln, the epitome of cool. I think I liked him even more. I also do like Myla and even though I know she is just 19 or so I felt her immaturity wayyy to much that I pretty much did an eye roll most of the time.
Lincoln's parents were the most frustrating, I mean how do you deal with his dad?
Apart from all that, I enjoyed all the action and twists within the story. Another absolutely fab book in the series. Can't wait for the next one. Thrax!!!! Here we come.

There’s so much going on in the 3rd book in the series; the deadline to prove that Acca is rapidly approaching and is they can’t find the evidence they need to prove that Myla is the Great Scala and the house of Acca hid the evidence then they and House Thrax will be found guilty. With just seven days left before the court case and eight days before their long awaited wedding something goes wrong and they are left hustling to get what they need.

One of my favorite things in this series is Myla’s sass, snark and kick-butt attitude and while it was here there was also more darkness that I have not seen in the previous books. Also, there seemed to be more repetition (example: followers know that Sissy is her best friend and we don’t need it repeated again and again), there were others but I won’t list them and while it’s not a big deal I find it annoying and feel that the editor should have caught it.

4.25/5 STARS: **I want to thank the author and/or publisher for providing me with a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review; all opinions are mine.**

"Supernatural warrior Myla Lewis must discover enough evidence to send the evil House of Acca to prison… or she’ll end up in jail herself, along with her fiancé, Prince Lincoln. No pressure."

This was just one heck of a way to go into reading this action-packed, adventured filled, supernatural fantasy romance. Myla had her hands full of getting the goods and keeping herself and her prince out of prison. This was no easy task. Things had a bite with twist turns and deception. Still filled with great well-developed characters and a plot-line that keep it coming. Sending Myla and Lincoln both back to high school, on Earth. There they get all kinds of things going. To find the truth Myla will do what it takes to survive.

Christina gave another great addition to this supernatural series that have me wanting more. Myla has all the witt, charm, gumption and strength to make a strong fierce role model for the young-ladies of today.

Myla and Lincoln are getting married! The two moms have the wedding all planned out. Lincoln’s mom has a ball planned for Myla before the wedding one which Myla does not want to attend but of course that would be so very rude. Although she doesn’t want to go to the ball she will because that is the right thing to do or the grown up thing to do.

Oh and did I mention that Myla and Lincoln are on their way to jail if they can’t prove their innocents. They only have a few days to gather all the evidence to bring before the Arbiter so she can decide the outcome of the case. The house of Acca has it in for Myla and Lincoln and wants them out of the way so they can take over Thrax so they are trying to send them to prison. So Myla and Lincoln must prove their innocents and stop the house of Acca and send them to prison instead for all the things they have done against the house of Thrax and save their people.

Myla and Lincoln travel to Earth to gather more evidence for their case and they only have a small window of time in order to do this. They are going undercover at a school on Earth to find the evidence they need to clear their names. Myla will be going in as a student and Lincoln as a teacher. Although Myla hates high school she is kind of looking forward to being on Earth as she will get to use all these techy devices like a cell phone, a computer, ect. All the things they don’t have in Purgatory as they don’t have internet. But oh how she is disappointed when she arrives at the school and finds they have no internet either.

Can Myla and Lincoln get the evidence they need so they can present their case to the Arbiter in time or will they go to jail? Will they gather the evidence before the wedding? Is the wedding or off? Can they prove their innocents? Does the house of Acca have the evidence to put Myla and Lincoln behind bars?

I can’t say enough how much I love this series or how awesome it is. The world building is out of this world. The author did a fantastic job of describing hell, purgatory and the after realms. Oh and the Igni. Myla is still just as amazing as ever with her snappy comebacks and she is one bad a** fighting machine. She has a tail with an attitude. Myla is part demon, angel and human. Her mom is a demon and her father is an angel. I can’t wait to read the next book Tharx to see where Myla and Lincoln take us next because if I know those two they are going to take us somewhere amazing.

If you love reading about demons, angels and a good fantasy book then you are going to adore Acca and Angelbound Origin series. Check them all out today!

Let me start of by saying I love this series. Christina Bauer owns my heart with bother her Angelbound and Cherished series. However, once I'm done with a series, I don't like to go back and have it continued, and that's what I felt happened here. Was it interesting? Yes!! I will always love Myla and her boo. That being said, But, it gets 3 stars because I get bored of being in the same world, and that's what happened to me here. It feels like I've read the story and now I'm being thrown back to somewhere in the middle where I missed something. BUT BUT BUT, if you love continuations and spin-offs, because if you love the series you will LOVE Acca!

Acca – Christina Bauer
Kindle Edition

I received a complimentary copy via NetGalley for review purposes.

It has been a while since I've read the previous books in Ms. Bauer's series that I'd forgotten how incredibly fun her character, the great Scalla truly is. A mix between Buffy and an millennial, her, first person narration is fun and flirty with enough sly Easter eggs for the book nerd out there, pages turn themselves.
Her world-building is excellent – her vision of Heaven, Hell and Purgatory with its royal families. Arch angels and arch-demons is nearly as eventful as the great master Dante Algeria.
However, there is a slight irritation of the constant use of first person, present tense to force a sense of tension that is unnecessary that draws away from the story. I will forgive, Ms. Bauer for that Hamiltonverse, the language usage is supreme and more of a weapon than any of the spells or ancient Angelic/Demonic weapons Ms. Bauer legacy will lie in the way her main character speaks and acts. And frankly, I want a demonbar for a nibble!
The side characters, from her future mother in law to Connor the keeper of all knowledge are interesting and half filled out but lacking in the Whedonverse in terms of fullness and completeness.
Again, her tail and it's absolute adorableness will win forgiveness as Ms. Bauer successfully combines Gen X and it's hispterness with Millennial's and their disaffectation.
The plot while not complex it certainly fun. It, again reminds one of the Buffyverse and should be highly complimented for this.
I particularly approve of the soon to be mother in law. Octavia. She combines both a 60's superheroine with and 80's diva. Out of 5, Octavia alone scales a 5.
The male characters seem to lack the depth of Ms. Bauer's female characters, something which I am willing to forgive her on the basis of how many male writers slim down their female characters to either pushy broads or flighty chicks.
All together, 6 out of 5 for the humor and sly wit. But since that is not allowed, 5 sly winks out of 5.https://smile.amazon.com/Acca-Angelbound-Origins-Book-3-ebook/dp/B01F6DUFOQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493973370&sr=8-1&keywords=acca

Another installment in the Angelbound series, Acca goes a little back in time to when Myla and Lincoln are just about to get married. Right before their nuptials, the Earl of Acca is hatching a scheme to kill the lovely couple and take over their kingdom. Having to fight both demons and Thrax alike, Myla and Lincoln do not have an easy path before them to marriage. As the plot thickens and the risks get greater, Myla and Lincoln must fight for what they want and what they love.
Not as interesting as other instalments in the series, Acca starts to tie up some plot points that had been previously skipped over in the making of Armageddon. Fans of the series will be glad to see more of their favourite and most hated characters. Myla and Lincoln are consistent characters to who they were in previous novels, with their witty kick-butt-ery ways. This novel did contain a good amount of action and mystery, as well as political discourse and magical intervention. Myla's powers are still very cool along with the dragon tail which is extra cool. The romance in this novel was not as interesting as it was in previous novels, but it was still pretty good, although I must warn there were some heated moments with mildly inappropriate content in them. Not suited for young readers. Ultimately, I give Acca the rating of FOUR OUT OF FIVE STARS!!!

( I received an ARC of this book from the Author for my honest review )

Oh my heart, sometimes I wonder how a formation of words can effect me so. This was the perfect continuation of an amazing series.

Lincoln and Myla, are by far one of my favourite ships this year. Though I wasn't to keen on Lincoln at first, but as the stories and books went on her grew on me. So to see them get hitch was a delight, though there was a bit of a interruption, I'm not get into that because it will ruin the story.

I will say that, though this story was full of up and downs, and some nail biting action, it did start out a tab bit slow. The urgency wasn't really there with 50% into the book, at around 70%-ish it picked up like a flash fire. The epic battle scene was like... hell's yeah!!! But again it didn't last as long as I would have liked, not Dragonball Z long, just you know, the good long, where there is some serous ass kicking going on.

Other then that, this was amazing read for amazing series. I highly recommend this book, this series. It's got everything you want for an epic read!

Happy Reading

Acca by Christina Bauer is the 3rd book in the Angelbound Origins series and I loved every minute of it! Acca carries on from Scala where Lady Adair was killed by Myla and Lincoln at the end. Now they are trying to gather evidence to end the House of Acca, however Aldred, the Earl of Acca is attempting to stop them every step of the way.

As Myla and Lincoln gather evidence into the Codex, it gets stolen by Aldred's minions and hidden somewhere far on Earth. Myla and Lincoln had no choice but to travel to Earth to search for the Codex. They only had a few days to do it before they can present it in the Courtroom in Antrum. It really was an adventure every step of the way as they are met with more baddies.

Finally they brought the Codex back to Antrum with only seconds to spare and phew they managed to present all the evidence before the Arbiter. Now with only few days to go before their wedding, they had much preparation to do. However, with Aldred around, nothing goes according to planned and once again he managed to cause trouble at Myla and Lincoln's wedding.

Fortunately, and as expected, Myla and Lincoln managed to get rid of all the troubles and successfully proceeded with their big wedding :) How lovely to get such a happy ending to this book and I look forward to the rest of the series.

I must not have been paying attention when I requested this because I hadn't read the prior two and was completely lost to be honest. I'd probably like it if I had but at the moment it's just not my cup of tea.
