First-Time Author Nikki Avila’s First Novel Now Available Nationwide

Independent Quad City publisher Paradisiac Publishing (www.paradisiacpublishing.com) is pleased to announce the release of its latest title, Hellbound Angel. This young adult dystopian novel was written by first-time Author and San Jose, CA resident, Nikki Avila. Avila, a student at West Valley Community College, is studying creative writing and American literature.

The novel follows Leila, the anti-hero, and her gang of friends as they say goodbye to their home: demon infested San Jose, and attempt to traverse an apocalyptic version of California in hopes of reaching salvation in Caelo, Oregon. But where salvation from the physical is found, harm on the soul is too. The effects of running toward those who so easily discarded her as an infant causes Leila’s emotional state to swiftly deteriorate. Her human persona, the one she wears as a mask to hide the beast pacing inside, slips away more often. Rage – boiling in the depths of her, awaiting its chance to rise up and strike – slides to the forefront at the slightest irritation. These darker emotions play a fundamental part in the changing dynamics of the group’s relationships.

The book is available online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble, with additional retailers to follow, nationwide.
