Goodreads Synopsis:

The high-pitched battle is on between powerful angels, sexy demons and innocent humans to dominate a world rife with political intrigue…and to win the heart of one hapless male!

Awyn Gardner will do anything to protect the beautiful mistress of the equally beautiful estate gardens he lovingly tends—even enslave himself to an also beautiful demon bent on world domination! The high-pitched battle is on between powerful angels, sexy demons and innocent people to dominate a world rife with political intrigue…and to win the heart of one hapless human man!

With Vyrde catatonic for months, it’s up to Awyn and his friends from the manor house to stem the tide of monsters continuously spawning from people bitten by the hideous flying bug-mouths. Meanwhile, the mastermind behind this plague, Angel Loki, sets in motion his technological scheme to eradicate every last gnome from the planet! Then, when a repressed memory is awakened in Awyn, he is determined to wreak vengeance upon Angel Vul and Covenanter Isaac…

Review:

 Back in the virtual world, we get to see what Awyn and the rest have been up to. The monsters have invaded the rest of the world now, and so they're slowly trying to clear them out, while waiting for Vyrde to wake up. And now we get to see what Iola and the rest are doing, given that they know they're computer programs. We also get to see what Loki has been doing, since Vyrde has been gone so long in-game.
We get a flashback to when the game was first created, an idea of what happened to Vyrde and her sister before all this. And then we're back in the present, with the physical struggle between Vyrde's good and bad sides, and how the evil one is dragging Awyn with her. It's not good.
I'm a little iffy on this series now; the whole virtual aspect makes some of it seem less important, plus it's only more confusing now. I'm just very meh at this point.
