Description

As the Great Scala, Myla Lewis is the only being who can move Purgatory’s souls to Heaven or Hell. It’s a big job. Too bad Myla goes through assistants faster than a hot knife through brownies. Not that it bothers her much; Myla’s always been a solo fighter.

Then comes the problem of the fading angels. Millions of Heavenly residents are dying. According to a prophecy, the only way Myla can save them is by traveling back in time, meeting King Arthur, and creating her own knights of the round table. The catch? Doing so might end the after-realms in a bloody demonpocalypse.

Yipes.

Myla and her main squeeze, Lincoln, aren’t afraid of taking a few chances (in between kisses). But this time the stakes may be too high, even for them. And the biggest challenge of all? Finding those knights.

Because Myla Lewis doesn’t play well with others. At all.

As the Great Scala, Myla Lewis is the only being who can move Purgatory’s souls to Heaven or Hell. It’s a big job. Too bad Myla goes through assistants faster than a hot knife through brownies. Not...

Poor Myla. She's finally ready to ask for some help with all of her work and doing so creates a whole other chain of events and issues that could lead to the end of all things - so of course that means she has to save the world... again!

I love this world, this series and these characters. The snark, the romance, the adventure - just so much fun!

If you enjoy anything related to this genre, you're in for a treat!

Everytime I read one of these books I think I can’t be entertained as much as the last, I am always wrong, I absolutely love each and everyone of these books, the series is fantastic and I’m so ecstatic we finally get Myla’s story. These are funny, sarcastic, kick ass characters, fabulous story led books. Dive in, you will not regret it

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

I loved the interaction between Myla and Lincoln in this Arthurian legend. This is a great world and the characters are interesting as is the trouble they get into.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for my eARC in exchange for an honest reviw.

Another incredible leap from Christina Bauer in regards to character development and ultimately the amazing progression of this series. This series, for me, started off as something I didn't think I could enjoy however as I progress further and read the newest additions I find myself really beginning to enjoy them more and more.

In this book Bauer ensures she does not give our kick-ass main character a break, even though she is the Great Scala, Queen of the Thrax, doting mother and sexy wife to Lincoln - she is still a danger to her world and those around her. It seems a prophecy is at work against her in this book and no matter what choice she toys with the idea of - any of them could trigger a demonpocalypse which would destroy everything.

Bauer brings in a new addition to her story telling by mirroring and changing the tale of King Arthur (personally one of my favourites) and this is what makes the story become even more interesting and intricate. The book has incredible pacing, the action has become formidable and something I look forward to every time I move onto the next book of this series and the character development just wow's me every single time.

Not only was there a retelling of King Arthur (with it's own little twist) but this is the first book in the series which is dual narrated by Myla and her beloved Lincoln. This gives us a further insight into the emotions and feelings which Lincoln might not express whilst reading through Myla's POV and also gives us a different character perspective.

All in all, a phenomenal addition to the series and I look forward to the next book.
