“This YA paranormal fantasy series is cute, compulsively readable and above all fun.” – The Nocturnal Library Blog
Nineteen-year-old Myla Lewis is loving life–she’s now a wife, mother, and Queen of the Thrax. Oh yeah, and being a super-powerful demigoddess who moves souls into Heaven or Hell doesn’t suck, either. In fact, everything is pretty much awesome. Until something craptastic happens.
Her honorary older brother Walker enters the Dark Lands, home to the rule-loving ghouls, and vanishes without a trace.
Now it’s up to Myla to solve the mystery of Walker’s disappearance. Of course, Myla likes interacting with ghouls about as much as elective dental surgery. To make matters harder, everyone thinks that Walker is simply taking a well-deserved vacation. But Myla and her Angelbound love, Lincoln, both suspect that the ghoul Oligarchy took Walker in order to somehow release Lucifer, the ex-King of the Angels and an all around nut job who really needs to stay locked up.
Long story short, Myla and Lincoln have just two days to rescue their good friend and stop Lucifer from taking over the after-realms. Even for them, this may be a too-tall order, especially when Myla’s own father allows his past friendship with Lucifer to threaten Walker’s future.

Perfect for readers who love angels, devils, and demons but want a fresh take on their related fairy tales, myths, and legends. This series combines fierce females, paranormal romance and urban/contemporary fantasy. Enjoy!!
My Review:
Nineteen year old Myla Lewis loves her job of moving souls
to heaven or hell and being a wife and mother. Her life is going great until
she learns that her older brother Walker is missing and everyone thinks he is
on vacation but Myla and Lincoln know better.
Walker has been taken by the ghouls into the Dark Lands.
They want to use Walker in some way to help release Lucifer from his prison.
Lucifer was locked up a long time ago. Lucifer is the ex-king of the angles and
really needs to stay locked up forever. Lucifer is a bad mean person who likes
to have everyone under his thumb and use them and their magic to do his
bidding. The ghouls can’t reach Lucifer where he is locked up because it is
warded with spells to keep anyone from just walking in and rescuing him.
Can Myla and Lincoln find Walker in time to save him? Can
they stop the ghouls from releasing Lucifer from his prison?
I just love Myla and her tail who likes to get in on the
action from time to time and Lincoln as well as all the characters in the
Angelbound series. Myla is just so cheeky talking like she will say things sort
of like she would not do that under any circumstances and then turn around and
think well I am doing that right now or something like that.
Myla will be checking out Lincoln during an important
conversation or just as they are about to time warp to another section of Purgatory
and Lincoln will say my eyes are up here. I love these two they make such a
great couple.
I love the world of the after-realm, Purgatory, the Dark
Lands and all the other cities in Myla and Lincoln’s world. I have read all the
books in the Angelbound series and loved them all. Each book just seems to get
better and better. I can’t wait to check out more books in the Angelbound
series. The Dark Lands is filled with twist and turns that will keep you
hanging on for more and more.
Come join Myla, Lincoln, Walker and the rest of the crew on
their journey through the Dark Lands, a world filled with angels, demons,
ghouls and part human, part angel and part demon all rolled into one.
I definitely recommend The Dark Lands to all fans of the
paranormal with angels, demons, ghouls and an all-around brilliantly written
story.
