She crashed through the balcony doors covered in blood.
It panicked him out of his mind when he thought it was hers.
It nearly destroyed her when she realized it wasn’t.

After the best night of his life, Dags Jourdain, P.I. and fallen angel, wakes up to a nightmare.

She said yes. His girlfriend, now his fiancée, said yes to him, and now she could go down for murder one if he doesn’t get in the way. He has to find out what happened for those hours she blacked out and her angel side took control. All he has are a few cryptic words her angel spoke to him, and her colliding into their hotel room covered in someone else’s blood.

He has to find the crime scene, fast.

He has to find out what happened and cover her tracks before the police show up and it’s too late.

But everything he discovers only makes her situation more dangerous. The people she went after are some of the worst in Los Angeles, and they want their pound of flesh.

All he wanted was to marry the woman he couldn’t stand to live without. He never meant for her to destroy herself for him, or lose her identity to the thing she has become… much less lose her life to it.

But all angels aren’t the same, he's realizing. Phoenix’s angel isn’t soft and fluffy with a harp and white wings. It’s something else. It’s something deadly, and it’s something she cannot control.

BLOOD ANGEL is book #7 in the Angels in L.A. series by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, JC Andrijeski. It’s a gritty angel urban fantasy, with adult themes, a hard-boiled tone and a strong romance subplot. Featuring Dags Jourdain, a P.I. and fallen angel, and his partner, fellow fallen angel and movie star, Phoenix X.

Nick Midnight, homicide detective, just got transferred to New York City. The government owns him. Then again, humans own all vampires these days. Cops are “Midnights.” Scientists “Galileos.” Soldiers “Centurions.” Things will be different in New York. No complications. No kids needing his help. None of that human-vampire-psychic crap that got him in trouble…

“A hundred thousand to fight. Twice that, if you win.” Walking up to Nick at the underground vampire fights, a well-dressed promoter hands Nick a card, offering him a bucketload of cash for a few hours’ work. All he has to do is fight another vampire. If Nick can pull it off, he might have a lead on a big new case. Someone in the boxing circuit is murdering…

An old lover haunts Nick’s dreams. Nick has no idea why, or why he can’t remember. Weirdest crime scene ever? Check. Guy eaten by a sentient wall? Check. Every shady government agency in existence playing coverup? Check. But is it murder? Nick Tanaka, vampire homicide detective for the NYPD, stumbles into a political minefield when their new Midnight, a…

When a terrorist group threatens Wynter, Nick will do anything to keep her safe. Even if it means rejoining the underground vampire mafia known as the White Death. Dimitry Yi, infamous anti-vampire extremist, has been missing for weeks. His rabid followers are losing their minds. Dead bodies start appearing around the city, marked with the symbol of…

They say you can never go home again. In Nick’s case, he can’t seem to escape it. San Francisco seems determined to suck him back in, whether he wants it or not. But it’s only a few days. He can do a few days without dying, right? A high-profile cage match brings Nick back to his hometown, to fight for Farlucci’s vampire fight club. After years of avoiding…

They’d put him into the shadow worlds. They’d taken him from his home. But he would return now. He would return to where he belonged. Home lives a lot further away than Nick Midnight ever imagined. Yet, for the first time in two hundred years, he can contemplate going back. No way is he going alone. He has a new family here, in this version of New York, and…

And a great wail rose when the gods spoke
For the door to that other place must need be lost
And those on the other side forgotten
They lost Varlan. They lost Atwar and his people.

They lost Chandre to the darkness.

The end of the world barrels faster towards Allie and Revik, so fast they can’t afford to be cautious, or make even one more mistake. After they accidentally open (and close) the first of those mystical, otherworldly doors, they’re in a race with the Dreng to save as many humans and seers as they can.

Lost in the middle of enemy territory, they have to fight their way back to the rest of their people in the Americas. There, Allie and Revik must wage war for real, or every human and seer not under the sway of the Dreng will die. Collectively, they have to hold out against an army ten times their size, long enough for Allie to form a Bridge to a new world, just as she was destined to do.

Through her, both races might just get a second chance, if the Myther army doesn’t annihilate them first.

In this last half of the final installment of the epic science-fantasy series, Allie and Revik fight their final war of all against all.

Psychic suspense. Apocalyptic. An epic, soul-crushing, world-spanning science fantasy series that gets dark, dark, dark… but also contains a lot of light.
**NOTE: A different version of this novel was previously titled “Sun”

For the light must die as we are reborn.
The stars must fall as the Thousand rise.
The end must come before the sun returns.
Myther armies pop up around the globe, murdering seers and humans, taking over quarantine cities.

Worse, the grisly, ritualistic murders aren’t just sadistic, but part of a millennia-long plan of the Dreng to leave Earth, destroying the planet and murdering most of its inhabitants in the process.

Allie and Revik have no time left to fix things between them, and no future left to put things off.

Cobbling together the last of their forces, they launch a final counteroffensive, teaming up with unlikely allies and using every weapon at their disposal.

Only together with their entire dysfunctional “family” can they change the course of history and forge a new hope for both races.

He would be despised. By all of them, he would be despised.

The shadow of the Rooks hangs over Revik’s head, a constant reminder of the dark warrior he used to be.

Hidden away in monastic caves after he leaves the anti-human, terrorist seers, Revik no longer knows who he is, or what his life means.

Then a delegation of renowned holy warriors, the Adhipan, appears, asking for his help. Adhipan leader Balidor requests Revik personally, along with one of his top lieutenants, a disturbingly beautiful seer named Dalejem.

Revik’s first impulse is to say no. He says no, repeatedly, until they tell him it is Kali who needs saving––Kali, who rescued Revik from the dark, when no one else would.

Revik agrees to fly across the world, to face off against his old crew, the Rooks, and his ex-partner, Terian, who clearly holds a serious grudge. Faced with old demons and new struggles, Revik fights to answer the question that won’t go away: is he evil or good? And what is he willing to give up to be the man he desperately wants to be?

In the end, he thinks he’s got nothing left to lose.

It turns out he’s wrong about that, too.

SERIES NOTE: This is a Revik and Dalejem prequel in the apocalyptic Bridge and Sword series, and companion to Terian (A Bridge and Sword Novel).
