I never asked to be an angel. Truthfully, being an angel kinda sucks. But some angels don’t get harps. We hunt demons. I might be a social weirdo. And okay, I black out whenever I fly and wake up naked in random places. I can only sleep in windowless rooms. I have that gun problem. Oh, and I can’t drink alcohol, since I randomly start fires. But I, Dags Jourdain, do good. Sort of. I mean, I try. When I’m not hunting demons, I work as a P.I. in Hollywood, California. One night, I get in a demon fight in an alley, and accidentally save the life of a movie star, and everything changes for me. Meanwhile, someone opened a hell portal under the Hollywood sign, a dead guy left me his dog, and a homicide detective who hates me from high school is trying to decide if I’m a serial killer. Did I mention being an angel kinda sucks?

One stupid hell-portal I can’t close. A super-hot movie star I can’t get out of my head. A whole lot of demons I can’t de-possess fast enough. Being a demon-hunting angel in Hollywood just got a lot more complicated. I’ve spent weeks trying to forget about Phoenix X, the movie star who might be an angel and the one woman I can’t be with. I’ve hunted demons, consulted with priests, hired witches and psychics. I’ve picked up random women on the Sunset Strip. Now a high school buddy shows up at my P.I. office, asking for my help. His wife, another old friend, mysteriously disappeared. I can’t say no to him, or to finding her. And, wouldn’t you know it, demons are behind that, too. What I don’t know yet, is that things are about to get a lot more complicated. And bloody. And covered in feathers. Bad things are heading my way. Demon pool parties, mystical anti-angel drugs, illicit make-out sessions, and guns, a lot of guns… and I really hate guns. Bottom line, all those hell-portal demons are about to fight back. If I don’t get better, fast, at using my angelic powers, I might not make it out alive. \* BAD ANGEL is book #2 in the Angels in L.A. series by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, JC Andrijeski.

My oldest friend might just be Lucifer, Angel of Darkness. That definitely wasn’t something I had on my trying-to-do-good-for-humanity bingo card. It’s not just demons I have to deal with now. The demons have a new master, and he just happens to be one of my best friends. I might have to kill him. Then again, I might not be able to kill him, due to some arcane rule about angels not being able to kill other angels. In the meantime, he’s gone underground, I’ve been looking for him, and I’ve been training, knowing the day will come soon when I have to face him. Then I get a call from Kara, homicide cop for the LAPD and sort-of friend of mine. She wants me to check out a grisly new murder in Koreatown, one she suspects might have supernatural origins. She thinks my old pal and new dark angel might be involved, and after I visit the scene, I worry she might be right. I don’t know it yet, but things are about to get a lot weirder, with arcane witches, angel-worshipping cults, and a lot of things I wasn’t ready to know about myself, or about Phoenix, the one person above all who I’m trying to protect.

I stole Lucifer’s wife. I’m pretty sure he’s gunning for me now. I’m not alone anymore. I’m pretty much the opposite of alone. First there was Kara, the LAPD homicide detective who now knows what I am. Now I’ve got a house-full of people I need to protect from demons, and a movie star girlfriend who’s a newly awakening angel. Oh, and I kidnapped one of my oldest friends, who happens to be married to a guy I grew up with, who I’m pretty sure is actually Lucifer. As in the Lucifer. Angel of Darkness. Guy who brings badness. His wife, Jade, might be an un-awakened fallen angel, too, but I can’t just hand her over to my old high school pal, Uri, her husband. Not when I know his motive numero uno will be to awaken her to join him in covering the world in darkness. Dealing with Uri on his own is bad enough. Dealing with two of them would be a nightmare, especially since my own girlfriend, Phoenix X, can’t control her new powers at all. Worse, Phoenix just started work on a new action movie, so in addition to stressing about Uri wanting to kill her, she has to worry about her wings spontaneously bursting out of her back in mid-shoot. All in all, it’s a weird time to be in Los Angeles. Especially for a demon-hunting angel P.I. and his movie-star new-angel girlfriend. \* ANGEL ON FIRE is book #4 in the Angels in L.A. series by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, JC Andrijeski.

I have no memory of being this evil thing, this creature king of lower realms, bringing darkness and death to Earth… who has fallen from the Light of Heaven. Dags Jourdain finally learned the truth of who he was––and it broke him. Forced to see himself damned, his life damned, his relationships damned. Unable to stomach the thought of doing that to others. Unable to accept his sole purpose might be to bring darkness and chaos to everyone he loves. So he left. He left his girlfriend, his friends, anyone who might end up his collateral damage. He couldn’t be what his dark brother wanted him to be, either. As much as Uri tried to convince him it was fate, Dags couldn’t embrace the supposed joy of being the most evil thing in existence. Then homicide detective Kara Mossman calls, needing his help. Dags can’t say no, and soon finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation, where the prime suspect is a ten-year-old child. The deaths appear savage, motive-less, with all the markers of supernatural badness. Determined to save the boy from a fate worse than death, Dags reluctantly rejoins the world and faces the truth he’s spent weeks fighting to avoid. He also gets hit by the fallout from everyone he left behind… including his movie star girlfriend, Phoenix X, who didn’t exactly cope well with his vanishing act, either.

I know who I am. I believe it now. But I don’t have to let a little thing like being the Prince of Darkness define me. The cops are looking at me side-eye again. I’ve had detectives following me around ever since they found the body of my high school pal and mortal enemy, Uri, dead in Griffith Park. Even my homicide detective pal, Kara Mossman, stares at me a little too long these days, as if trying to decide just how much of a murderer I am. They’re not exactly wrong. Let’s just say my life’s complicated. But according to my license, I’m still a P.I. So when my movie star girlfriend, Phoenix X, asked me to help out one of her super-famous Hollywood friends, I told her yes, if only for the distraction. And maybe to try and do something good in the world again. But Phoenix is going through some changes of her own right now, and it’s affecting everything about how we are around each other. When someone involved in the new case turns up dead, we’ve both got way too many eyes on us, especially for how we’re both acting. NOTE: this is a preliminary book description, a more finalized version is coming soon!
