YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Eighteen year old Myla Lewis is a girl who loves two things: kicking ass and kicking ass. She’s not your every day quasi-demon, half-demon and half-human, girl. For the past five years, Myla has lived for the days she gets to fight in Purgatory’s arena. When souls want a trial by combat for their right to enter heaven or hell, they go up against her, and she hasn’t lost a battle yet.

But as she starts her senior year at Purgatory High, the arena fights aren’t enough to keep her spirits up anymore. When the demons start to act weird, even for demons, and the King of the Demons, Armageddon, shows up at Myla’s school, she knows that things are changing and it’s not looking good for the quasi-demons. Myla starts to question everything, and doesn’t like the answers she finds. What happened seventeen years ago that turned the quasi-demons into slave labor? Why was her mom always so sad? And why won’t anyone tell her who her father is? Things heat up when Myla meets Lincoln, the High Prince of the Thrax, a super sexy half-human and half-angel demon hunter. But what’s a quasi-demon girl to do when she falls for a demon hunter? It’s a good thing that Myla’s not afraid of breaking a few rules. With a love worth fighting for, Myla’s going to shake up Purgatory.

1% (view spoiler)[ yikes - her tail has a mind of its own? (hide spoiler)]

2% (view spoiler)[ they have to fight to the death every 3 months? that's harsh. their population must be huge to accomplish that or they'd all die out! (hide spoiler)]

12% (view spoiler)[ bit of a lesson about the different demons there. Not sure I'll remember it! (hide spoiler)]

13% (view spoiler)[ OMG that dress sounds hideous. (hide spoiler)]

14% (view spoiler)[ makes you wonder if her father was an angel. (hide spoiler)]

18% (view spoiler)[ Zeke is an ass. (hide spoiler)]

It really did.

Sarah wrote: "18% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ He's really arrogant. (hide spoiler)]

23% (view spoiler)[ she's going to be cissys chaperone? What a pain in the backside! (hide spoiler)]

31% (view spoiler)[ I feel like there's a lot of bulk in this story that doesn't need to be there possibly. I seem to have read loads, but not a great deal has happened. (hide spoiler)]

38% (view spoiler)[ I'm pretty bored now too :( (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "31% [spoilers removed]"

I'm feeling the exact same. It feels like i've already read 532 pages!

Going to try and read a bit more now.

46% (view spoiler)[ yuck. i don't ever wannt tobe served a pepper and onion omlet! (hide spoiler)]

47% (view spoiler)[ halloween is a month-long cebration? Miss Thing certainly has her wires crossed! (hide spoiler)]

47% (view spoiler)[ this halloween nonsense is ridiculous. (hide spoiler)]

48% (view spoiler)[ traditional thrax underwear? (hide spoiler)]

58% (view spoiler)[ looks like she has a bit of a crush. (hide spoiler)]

60% (view spoiler)[ she wants to strip him down and lick him? (hide spoiler)]

70% (view spoiler)[ is this YA or NA? The stuff about 'his length, hard and ready, pressing against me through his leather pants. Each new thrust is a jolt of raw pleasure.' would be very risky for young teens (hide spoiler)]

74% (view spoiler)[ so we finally have confirmation that her father was an angel, and she is the scala heir. It feels like this has been a long time coming. I suspected it really early on in the book. (hide spoiler)]

78% (view spoiler)[ I suppose Lincoln was kinda sweet when he told her he loved her. (hide spoiler)]

79% (view spoiler)[ he assumes she's pregnant? (hide spoiler)]

finshed. it was okay, I didn't really feel that it got any better though.

Carrying on with it in a bit. :)
Today has been hectic to haven't had chance to do anything yet!

It sounds disgusting!

Abbie wrote: "Sarah wrote: "46% [spoilers removed]"

It sounds disgusting!"

I know. Onions are one of my most hated foods ever :(

Sarah wrote: "70% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I thought it was YA. I agree, it was a bit risky for young teenagers. (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "74% [spoilers removed]"

I could see that one coming. :(

Abbie wrote: "Sarah wrote: "74% [spoilers removed]"

I could see that one coming. :("

pretty obvious.

I'm about 10% from finishing now.

It feels like it's took me weeks to finish it!

I think there was a lot of streamlining that could be done. I don't think a lot of the info thats in there really needs to be in there.

I'm listening now, so far I'm not impressed with the narrator

ch 7 (view spoiler)[ I'm surprised Sissy would think Myla has a crush on that guy (geez I'm bad with names) She should know that Myla wouldn't like him, not only because Sissy does but also because they're so incompatible. That's really frustrating and kind of makes me question how good of a friend Sissy is.
Also, Lincoln sucks and I'm not really looking forward to he and Myla getting together, He's so pompous and thinks half demons are scum and not capable of anything. (hide spoiler)]

ch 8 (view spoiler)[ I in no way think Adair is the next seer or whatever. She seems like a liar and I hope people realize it soon. I actually think it may be Myla and that's why who her dad is is such a mystery (hide spoiler)]

ch 14 (view spoiler)[ So it really seems like Xavier is Myla's dad and would that make her the Scala heir? Her mom shut down the idea of him being her dad too quickly and it was suspicious.

I hope this picks up, I'm getting bored. Cissy has become jealous and irritating and I'm over her. The story seems to be moving slowly (hide spoiler)]

ch 23 (view spoiler)[ Yep, she's the Scala heir and Xavier is her dad. It's sad that he had to go to hell in place of Myla's mom. Maybe they'll be able to get him out? She and Lincoln are kind of cute together, even though they started out rough (hide spoiler)]

finished (view spoiler)[ I'm glad the ending was happy. Myla got her dad back, banished Armageddon, and is dating Lincoln. The last part moved a lot more and was more interesting, but I don't think I'll be reading the next book. (hide spoiler)]

I'm up to Chapter 7.


(view spoiler)[ I like Myla but her friend is not very likable. I really can't stand Zeke. I was glad that Myla's mother set up that she can see her mom's past through dreams. Especially since her mom won't talk about it. I was upset that Cissy wouldn't believe her. She really is a terrible friend. Plud she is super annoying when witb Zeke. (hide spoiler)]

I don't like her friend at all either.

I'm up to Chapter 14.


(view spoiler)[It's good that she finally knows who her father is. I'm surprised it didn't take longer. I can't stand Cissy and Zeke. They are such an annoying couple. (hide spoiler)]

I agree that her friend is too much.

I'm up to Chapter 21.


(view spoiler)[This book feels way too long. Which is making it hard to pay attention. However, we learn who actually is her father. Apparently before we were lied to. Myla has also become the scala heir. (hide spoiler)]
