This book opens with Maxon and the gang doing what they do best; demon hunting with style. Maxon may have angel blood, but he is also part Furor Demon. Which means he has powers across two deadly sins, Lust and Wrath. And in his opinion, these are the very best ones. I'd say so too, especially because he is super sexy and even has a black tail with a tip like an arrowhead that can be used as a weapon. Maxon has all of this going on but that is not everything, he is also a high prince. Liana is one of Namare's apprentices, the Monarkki of water, and currently she is running late to practice. While she is hurrying along, she receives a vision like memory from Franklin, a flying water frog. She learns that her people are in danger from Zephyr, the Monarkki of air. When she finally arrives to practice she is confronted by her egotistical ex-lover, Fisk. However, as the truly badass and independent woman she is, Liana does not take any of his crap, and this is one of the many reasons I instantly her character. A lot goes down, some very serious and gut-wrenching drama. One good thing is that all this leads to Maxon and Liana meeting. This is one of my favourite parts of the book because neither one of them really knows what to make of the other. Liana is spoiling for a fight mainly because she is awesome and wants to prove she is nobody's "girl". (By the way, she has very good reasons for this attitude). Anyways, it results in a sexual tension that is palpable and as they get to know each other, they learn they have more in common than they thought. (And it's all very romantic!)This is not just a love story. It's a love story, of course, but it packs a major punch. Maxon and Liana make a great team while they battle in life and death situations. Honestly, it's not just their lives on the line, its everyone who is part of their different worlds, too. And what an ending! Very unexpected but, this is Christina Bauer we are talking about, so you know its awesome. Be sure to read the entire epilogue, because the excitement continues on to the very last line.

Loved Maxon. I wasn't sure when i picked it up but I fell into it easily for anyone who likes Christina Bauers work this is another good one. Friendship, Demons, Love , Fighting it is all there. 5 stars can't wait for the next one. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to review it. Recommended.

Maxon by Christina Bauer was so exhilarating to read!

This book was definitely much different than I normally prefer with my books but it was so epic I couldn't put it down.

Each chapter you read flips from Lianna back to Maxon and you get both views throughout their adventure together and discovering love.

Although there was a very vast fantasy world that Christina built it definitely worked well with the story. You were in the after-realms with the elementals, they talk about hell, heaven, purgatory and "cloud-side" which was earth.

Such a great suspense, thriller, romance, adventure novel.

I am picking up the next book called Portia RIGHT NOW!

SUCH AN AMAZING START OF THE SERIES. TRULY LOVED IT.
TOOK ME TO ANOTHER WORLD ALMOST INSTANTLY. THE BOOK STARTS WITH A FIGHT AND THAT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING WAY TO START A BOOK. A WHOLE NEW CONCEPT WITH SO MUCH TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND. BOTH MAXON AND LIANNA WAS SO DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER, WITH SO MUCH DIFFERENT POWERS YET CONNECTED IN WAY THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL. THE WHOLE ELEMENTAL CONCEPT I REALLY LIKED.
CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE NEXT INSTALLMENT IN THE SERIES.

Although I haven't read the original Angelbound series, now that I've read Maxon's book, I'm completely sold!
Having no idea about the world inside these books, I had a little difficulty in the first chapters to understand the world, the realms, all kind of characters, elementals, thrax, demons, angels… I believe as of chapter 3 I’ve really started devouring it.
It kept me up all night two nights in a row, is THAT good! On to Portia now 😊
I foresee lots of nights with no sleep as I have all 5 books in the series 😃

Christina Bauer does an excellent job presenting the reader with a kick-butt team of demon hunters! Maxon Extended Edition is a great read for teens and adults. It will keep you interested and wanting more.
