Review: Scala by Christina Bauer

Scala by Christina Bauer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After Myla found out who her real father is, her whole life changed forever when she discovered she was the Great Scala. Having an arch angel as her dad means her genes qualify her for the Scala job, whether she wants it or not. And after being powerful enough to send Armegeddon back to Hell, she is now ready to tackle whatever else comes her way.

But since Lucifer's Orb is in Purgatory, she can`t send souls to the afterlife. The Orb is forcing her to send all of the souls to Hell, whether they deserve that destination or not. Now, Myla is holding a strike and refusing to send ANY souls to the next life until that Orb is found and removed. Sounds resonable enough, except that there are MILLIONS of souls that come to Purgatory a day, and there is only so much room to store them while Myla and her team look for the Orb.

Then, if that wasn't enough, Lady Adair - the "Scala Heir" fake, is still trying to take everything that Myla has, including her boyfriend Prince Lincoln. Adair thinks that Myla stole everything from her, so now her soul mission is to find a way to get it all back. So she is making Myla's life miserable by trying to prove that she can't be the right Great Scala because of the situation with the souls being crammed into the Towers, about to explode.

When Myla realizes the dire situation she is in, Lincoln decides to stay in Purgatory for a short while to help with the problems that keep occurring. But they didn't account for how desperate Adair was, and how far she was willing to go to get her perfect life.

Myla may be losing her powers, but her determination and strong will can get her through this...right?

Again, such a great installment to this series! I'm really enjoy this storyline and seeing just how strong Myla is internally, as well as how much of a kick ass fighter she is! I also love seeing her with Lincoln - those two are just made for each other!

I was able to figure out what was happening with Adair way before the reveal, but that's okay because it just added to the story. Seeing Myla struggle with different situations just shows that she is the best choice to be the Great Scala.

I'm so excited for the next book and to see what other issues will come up for Myla to concur.
