This was a fun read. Mack is human with a little demon blood and he is part of an order that hunts vampires. He bounds with Kap, a dragon shifter.

It's a cute story about overcoming the odds and young love. Very enjoyable read.

Christina Bauer gives us a twist in Mack’s own story, but is it really a twist if it kind of makes sense? I don’t want to give anything away, but I have always thought Mack was badass all on his own and didn’t need anything extra, but then Bauer had to put a whammy on him anyway and now…legend status is upon him.

Kaps can give Myla a run for her money on trying out funny one-liners on bad guys. She may not have quite the snark or the relationship with her tail that Myla does, but she’s funny and cute in her own way.

Once again, Bauer throws in some interesting side characters that make you go “hmmmm”. There are only two more books in the series…I cheated and peeked…so it will be interesting if we come across them again. I’m keeping a record so stay tuned for my series review.

I will say that Bauer is getting me pretty excited for Huntress and Gage’s stories with all of this groundwork she is laying down for them.

Back to the couple of the day: Kaps and Mack. Mack is a really quick read. I read it in one sitting. I chuckled at, with, and rooted for this fab couple. They may have taken the statue if I hadn’t been with Myla and Lincoln for so long. They love hard and keep their promises to each other. It gives you hope in this crazy world.

I am a member of a large science fiction/ fantasy reading circle. New members constantly ask for recommendations for different authors, usually looking for a series to jump into. I always include Christina Bauer and her excellent series to everyone. She has many ongoing series and there is at least one that will be what they are looking for. Her world building skills are without competition and the characters quickly become friends. While this IS book #6 in this series, you can read it as a stand alone but then you'd miss the excellent stories before it. Each book is built around a specific character from the series but you'll meet them in the other books too. If you love SFF, read Christina Bauer

I got my copy. I was excited. This was to be my big get-away from everyone and everything. Then of course life happens. This is the first book to finish. I can't really say that I started it. I just finished chapter one with life came barreling in. I will be posting my review to this one. I anticipate getting back to Mack and the gang soon.

I am back everyone. I was not disappointed. I was excited to read every single page. I was excited to see Mack and Kaps. You can rest assured that you will get so much more than you have already seen in Kaps. I will highly advise that you read Kaps first. If you want me to stay real. Then I would say go back and read all of the book in this series. If you want to jump in and meet some really great characters, then have at it. You will soon see why I loved them so much.

It's kind of hard to write a review when all the parts you want to talk about are the one that you should read for yourself.

Thank you Christina Bauer for continue to delight our hearts, explore our imaginations, and send our senses on paranormal/fantasy highs. Happy Holidays.

Mack (Book 6, Angelbound Offspring series) - Christina Bauer



I was given a copy of this book by the publisher in order to provide and honest review.



Christina Bauer is an American author who writes many fantasy stories. Besides the “Angelbound” series she has also written the “Pixieland Diaries” and the “Beholder” series plus many more.



Mack is a human who is part of a secret order who protects the humans of Earth by hunting and killing vampires, he also has a bit of demon DNA in him. But he’s good at kicking vampire butt and doesn’t mind searching for a relic or two while he is at it.

The complicated part of his life – he has a rhana bond (a magical bond between mated couples) with Kaps, a dragon shifter. The problem though – her parents. They are less than enthused about the whole relationship.

So, in a classic over protective parental move, Kap’s parents confine her to a tower. Effectively she is grounded and can’t leave the tower, can’t visit Earth and especially no visiting Mack. But that won't stop them, they will find a way around this.

But as they go to tackle that problem a new one forms – namely Mack’s old mentor Roman. Roman use to lead their sacred order, now is creating his own vampire army to wipe out all of humanity – as if they didn’t have enough on their plate. So now they must have a find way to save everyone from Roman and the hell he is about to unleash while finding a way for their relationship to survive.



“Mack” is a pleasurable read about young love and their perseverance in the face of overwhelming odds. It's amazing the lengths they are willing to go to, full of such promise and hope. As always, I enjoyed reading about the characters that Christina Bauer creates and the great storylines.

I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley. This is my honest review.

This has been on my TBR pile for so long, and I'm glad I finally got around to it. I really enjoyed the storyline and seeing the characters change throughout the story was a great character development. The plot was great and kept my attention. I'm glad I got the chance to read this and will be on the lookout for more in the future!

A quick fun read that continues the story of Mack and Kaps. Dragons, wizards, and wyvern! What's not to love! Rich characters. Great story plot. Exciting! Thanks #netgalley and #MonsterHouseBooks for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.

I love the Angelbound series, and Offspring has been one of my favorite spinoffs. I loved getting to read Mack's story and getting to know him better. It was a fun read.

I never thought I'd love anyone quite as much as I do Lincoln, but Mack is edging right up there! His relationship with Kaps, this vibrant fantasy world and hilarious dialogue are just icing on the cake. Angelbound is one of my very favorite series' and Offspring continues to entertain!

So the partner book to Kaps continued the story of Kaps and Mack in their endeavour to rid the world of Nazi vampires. It also saw the development of the rhana bond between them. With Kaps locked away in the land of the dragons to keep her out of mischief she and Mack have to get creative in not only being together but also working together to achieve their goals. With the help of some magical objects, dragons and even a wizard they discover the truth of Macks history, save the lost city of El dorado and the last of the mythical wyverns. Along the way they also discover a little about having Faith in those that you love. Another great read from this author I love this world

Whilst I really like this series, I just wish that the books were longer.
As the series has developed the books have become shorter, and whilst I realise that they were originally (perhaps) and certainly now, aimed at a much younger audience, and the concept is that they don’t like to read long stories, I would take issue with that. After all, Harry Potter books are long. And 12 year olds and younger read them. So why assume the stories need to be short – and thus missing a great deal of possible character and storyline development.
And this is where I think this book lacks something. The characters have been established, and the drawings are stunning so you can imagine the characters in their full glory – though I do think the costume on our heroine lacks a bit – of material – to protect her skin. Despite the dragon scales, it would be nice for more leather on her legs surely?
But the end of the story seems a bit like -with one leap they were free’. As though Christine couldn’t think of what to say. Perhaps the series has run out of steam? I shall read to the end of the series, just because, but I am not giving 5, nor even 4 for this series now, it is done to 3 and if I hadn’t been a loyal reader …
Sorry Christine. But maybe I can give you a star for the artwork?

Epic, totally epic!

It was so good to read Kaps and Mack again. And their story comes to a wonderful finale. Definitely 2 of my favorite Angelbound Offspring characters. And the adventure is not yet over; I am very much looking forward to what Christina Bauer has planned next!

This is such an interesting book! This is a dual point-of-view story between Mack and Kaps, and I liked having both of their perspectives throughout the story!

I thought this had an exciting plot with characters that you get attached to! I would recommend this for readers that enjoy a series and vampires!

I was provided a gifted copy of this book for free. I am leaving my review voluntarily.

It took me a while to get into this series again. I am unsure if It's the time of year, my own headspace or the book itself. It felt like I was just moving from moment to moment very quickly and the big bad guy was easily defeated. I guess I just wanted a little more than the book offered.

So happy to get more of kaps story! These 2 have to decide if being together is worth the price they would have to pay and they're on a major time crunch. I highly recommend reading the previous book to get the first part of this story. There's so many secrets that come unraveling that it's best to have the whole story.

~ I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own ~

I've enjoyed tremendously the entire series up until this point. Unfortunately I couldn't focus on this one at all.

3 stars!

What's not to love...a stoic romance, heart pounding action, and a tearful reveal about who your mother is. This is classic Bauer.

Mack may be human, but he also runs a league of vampire hunters. It has been a regular part of his life until recently. A magical city is about to reopen and Roman wants to use what is inside El Dorado to make an army of vampires. These vampires do more than just kill people; they look like the last person they killed. Roman wants to take over the world and fill it with vampires and he knows that Mack is looking for him; so he goes after Kaps, the woman Mack loves. Mack tries to protect Kaps by breaking up with her, but since Kaps is a dragon shifter, she isn’t one to stay on the sidelines.

Mack is the sixth book in the Angelbound Offspring series. Each new book takes readers deeper into a character in the Angelbound world. One may think that there isn’t anything new to explore, but then a new book comes out and we are surprised. There is action and romance and these characters continue to fight for the greater good and protect humans and non-humans alike. Mack is a great continuation of the series and we have at least one more book destined to be written.

MACK is the sixth book in the Angelbound Offspring series and I would absolutely recommend you read it as part of a series. If you can't do that, then you NEED to read Kaps as this book is a continuation of hers.

The points of view change from Mack to Kaps and back again so you get a fully rounded story from both perspectives. They both want to be together but go full-on martyr when they both decide it's better for the other one if they're not. Gah! I wanted to bang their heads together!!

There are some interesting developments in this story, not the least being how Mack changes (I won't say more). There are cameos from others in the series, with Huntress and Gage playing a bigger role in helping Mack and Kaps see each other. I honestly can't wait for Huntress' book!

This was a great addition to the series and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Kaps is locked in a tower with no way out. The place has wards or magic spells all around it to keep Kaps locked up and safe. It is also to keep anyone from getting in and getting to Kaps. Kaps misses her boyfriend Mack and her. Mack and Kaps are working very hard to find a way around the magic wards. A way for her to get out of this realm and go back to Earth.

In the meantime though a vampire, Rowan is on his way to take over Earth and turn as many as he can into vampires. Rowan needs to turn people into an army that he can use to take over. I so loved the new twist on the vampires. It was just so awesome and brilliant.

Together Kaps and Mack make a great fighting, killing machine. Mack with Kaps help against his better judgment and without much to say in the matter go after Rowan to stop him from taking over the world. I love all the banter between Mack and Kaps. Mack wants to keep Kaps safe himself and is willing to sacrifice everything to make that happen even his love for Kaps. But our little Kaps is one tough cookie and doesn’t need anyone coddling her.

Oh and I really loved the chemistry between Huntress and Gage. I can’t wait to read more about these two in their own book Huntress. I loved that one scene between Huntress and Cage with the dagger.

I love the Angelbound world and can never seem to get enough of it. I love all the characters from each and every book. The world that has been created for this series is just so awesome and amazing. It will suck you in and pull you down into its depths never letting you see daylight until the last page is turned. The action and the twists just keep pouring out from between its pages with never a dull moment in between.

Do I recommend Mack? Well, of course, I do! As well as the whole series. You know you could and probably can read each of the books as a stand-alone but I wouldn’t suggest it as they are all so amazing besides you wouldn’t want to miss a thing that this series of books has to offer. So my suggestion is to get to clicking your copy or copies today to begin another epic adventure!
