The Dark Lands by Christina Bauer
3.0
This was my first book by Christina Bauer and the Dark Lands series and it was quite enjoyable!
Christina Bauer has such a quirky style of writing that I could not help but laugh. Despite jumping in at book #5 I found Christina to be a considerate writer that appressed previous events without being exhaustive (I like that). The book read very much like a cinematic script which I didn’t mind at all.
I imagine Myla is the female Deadpool, as her inner thoughts pivot between outrageously genius to manically insane. She is unapologetically blunt with a take-charge attitude that is befitting of the Scala.
Her extreme analytical skills for problem-solving and strategizing pulls her out of a variety of sticky situations which her smack talk usually gets her in. Myla is so hilarious and for fans of the beloved “Immortals After Dark” series, she and our favorite supernatural NYX could be sisters!
In Dark Lands, we get some insight into Walker and his past. His cryptic messages lead to goose chase for the mysterious villain- Viper and Lucifers artifacts. Dark Lands was extremely fast-paced, full of kick-ass fighting scenes, quirky anecdotes, lots of family love, insanely cute babies, snooty reporters, and a sinfully sexy husband.
Thank you to Monster House Books, the author and NetGalley for providing me with an arc.
