Slow clap for Gage. We love a patient man and after not seeing your mate for hundreds of years to boot?! Swoon.
This was a very fast pace book and I was hooked from the start

Christina Bauer is a very prolific author of many intertwining series. Fans all have their favorites characters and we get to see them as they move into and through the differing adventures in worlds that intersect and borders that are flexible. As I read HUNTRESS, so many of my favorite characters from the Angelbound world are here that the stories roll one into the other to become so real, it's hard to call them fantasy.
As Huntress realizes she must sacrifice to fulfill her destiny, she will find that this sacrifice may not be a hardship.

Huntress wasn’t as much fun for me as the rest of the books in the series. This is probably because Huntress is a very serious person and with good reason. I think I have gotten used to Christina Bauer writing characters that are continuously laughing at themselves and the world.

Plus, I am not a huge fan of bugs - at all. The Matron kind of grossed me out. (chuckle) Never mind, the whole “hive” and honeycombs kept making me think of creepy crawly things and now you know what my horror story would be.

I also wasn’t expecting the book to take part in their youth and then rehash everything I had already read about them. Once again, this makes perfect sense as each book can be read as a standalone. I guess I was just expecting such a great romance since there was this huge buildup in the previous books about Huntress and Gage. I think I built up my own expectations of what this story would be, not what the series is about.

This is not a reflection on Bauer, but on my own expectations about this character. Sometimes you can get too invested in a series characters…and hello this is me (talk to Arizona Tape about my reviews (chuckle)).

I like the secondary cast and hope to see a spin-off series about them. Bauer creates a lot of great supporting characters, but I’ll write more about that in the series review.

Huntress is an encapsulation of Huntress and Gage’s relationship, plus the groundwork for a new chapter. I can’t wait to see what Bauer has in store for them next.

My statements may be a little bias. I absolutely love the Anglebound World/Offsprings series. Huntress was just along for the added support. She bolstered my love for the series.

I was not ready for this unleashing of Huntress. Now, let me get this out of the way. I loved, loved, loved seeing more of Portia, Kaps, Mack, and a few others. Huntress was everything I could dream of to add to the series of Angelbound Offspring. As always, for me anyway, Christina slammed dunked the world she built. The visual her words cause allows for the picture to play clearly across your mind as you are reading each sentence, paragraph, page, chapter. The delight of being able to make the picture feel so real. I felt fully engaged from the beginning of the first sentence.

Huntress brought it on all the way. You get a strong female that loves her family. She was determined to be alone and fight the same way. She was even more determined to protect her family no matter the sacrifice.

Be ready for the things that unfold within the pages of Huntress. Be ready for the fantastically visual world. Be ready for Huntress and Gage.

I love the Angelbound worlds, I love their magic, and they all have their own special ability and personalities. HUNTRESS is the seventh book in the Angelbound Offspring series and I would absolutely recommend you read it as part of a series.

Huntress (Book 7, 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.



Huntress is the last glass dragon, at least that’s what she’s been told, and she’s a hive queen to boot. The only problem is Huntress has had a memory block put on her so she cannot remember from her former life.

Which means she can’t remember Gage – her bonded rhana, a dragon life mate. Gage remembers her, though he doesn’t realise that she is still alive after all these years. So, when he finds her again, he’s beyond happy. But he knows his Huntress doesn’t know who he really is.

But Gage is a patient dragon shifter, after all it's been 500 years since he last saw her, so he can spare some more time.

Unfortunately, there are forces working against them. The trouble that caused Huntress to disappear and forget who she was for 500 years is working to control that last glass dragon and hive queen. Now Huntress must trust Gage, and work with him if she is to find out who she really is and save herself as well as those she loves – though she may not yet know it!



“Huntress” is a classic YA fantasy tale about a young woman who has had their memories taken away from them and doesn’t know who they truly are. Basically, it's an amazing plot and a very enjoyable read, seeing as I read it in about a day! I feel bad for Huntress not knowing who she really is but I love how it all works out for her in the end. I absolutely admire the patience that Gage has – something that I know I lack. To wait for that long for your rhana and not lose hope and then manage to keep it together when you find them after all that time and still be willing to wait for them and give them the space that they need. Now that is what love truly is.

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!

First thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this arc. Huntress is the 7th book in the Angelbound Offspring series. Haven't read the other ones before and not sure if I should have before reading Huntress. I didn't realize it before requesting this arc.

Huntress is the future queen of the hive. She's a glass dragon shifter. We also have the Pov of another dragon shifter, Gage. Huntress is atract to him the instant the met and hate it. She prefer fighting alone for first, and second they're to much going on at the moment and being with Cage is wrong... But danger threatens her family and she will need help. So she have no choice. Huntress make an alliance with the L’Griffe. To protect those she love she will do anything, even marry.

I have really loved this story and how strong of a character Huntress is.

I started this book but found it difficult to get into and this was only because I had not read any other books of the series. If I had read them than I would definitely enjoyed this book.
Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this book.

thought this was the first book of the series
it was not
still read and enjoyed a few chapters but got confused very quickly

This was the penultimate book in the series. I loved the flashbacks to when Huntress was a child. I also loved Gage’s point of view. Overall, a very enjoyable read.

I really enjoyed this book, and love the Angelbound world Christina has built! Her creativity is bright, energetic, full of great action, and something I highly recommend you check out!

The Royals are in danger and Huntress must find a way to protect them including marrying a man she hates. To add insult to injury she falls for him. Will she succeed? Read and find out.

HUNTRESS is the penultimate seventh book in the Angelbound Offspring series and I would absolutely recommend you read it as part of a series. While it is Huntress and Gage's story, parts of Kaps and Mack's are also mentioned.

First of all, I loved how we went back in time to when Huntress was a child. I thought the world-building was brilliant and I loved hearing about the Honeycomb Hall. Doofus - I'm still wondering about though! And what happened to the other novices and familiars? Hmm. As for Gage and his Crew, I love them all. Each with their own distinct personality, they made me smile throughout the story.

As with every Christina Bauer book, the characters are outstanding. The overall story arc is present and intriguing, whilst the nitty-gritty gives you information and details about the characters that you never even knew you needed until you had them. The story is told from both Huntress and Gage's point of view, with the chapters clearly titled so you know which is which before you start reading.

Huntress was a perfect addition to the series and now I'm waiting on tenterhooks for Gage! I really want to hear about things from his perspective. A brilliant story and absolutely recommended by me.

Until she comes face to face with Gabe Beaumont and her inner dragon cannot resist him.
But someone is still out to destroy her and she and Gabe need to unblock her memories to find out who it is before it’s too late.
I loved this book as I do most of this authors work that I have read. Although the beginning was very slow it was so worth reading on and I then could not put it down! I find the writing easy to read and the story flowed from one scene to the next. Cannot wait to continue reading this series.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I had a hard time staying interested in this story. The beginning was confusing, and I wasn't sure what was going on... I'm not sure if I needed to read the previous books in the series. The style of writing felt very cold...or flat. No emotion.

I was looking forward to reading Huntress's story, she was always somewhat of a mystery and now I know why. :)

Huntress is a hive queen novice, she has the potential to be Queen of glass dragons one day and Gage is her rhana. He has access to the memories of his Manchester. They are destined to be together. Then a tragedy happens, their people are destroyed, with just a few surviving. They are spit out 500 years later. Huntress is found and adopted by the king and queen. She blocks her memories, so she can have a life with them.

When they meet in the future, the attraction is instant, but the road to love is a very slow burn. I enjoyed reading it very, very much. :)

The writing is awesome, as usual. :) The story is fast-paced, funny, and intense. I loved reading it. :)

The plot had the potential to be absolutely epic. But it's execution could have been better.
Huntress is a strong character who takes no crap from anyone and I liked Gage very much. But the first few encounters of Huntress and Gage after growing up irked me the most.

I didn't realize this was the seventh book in the series. After reading, I am determined to get the previous because I highly enjoyed this one! Talk about action packed!! This book is full of kicking action! Read it to enjoy magic, dragons, a hot guy and romance. What's not to love! Thanks #netgalley and #MonsterHouseBooks for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved huntress she might just be my favorite sister out of this bunch. I have loved this series I definitely recommend it.
