Humans who ran got culled. Humans who got culled never came back.

Jet is a 19-year-old skag, one of the humans still living free on Earth following an invasion of creatures called the Nirreth. Squatting in the ruins of Vancouver, Jet and her family eke out an existence underground, hiding from culler ships and fighting off raiding humans.

No one knows where the alien ships take the people they steal, but they never, ever return. When a culler finds Jet, she knows she’s dead… destined to be eaten or enslaved by the creatures that stole her planet and wiped out most of her race.

But what if none of the stories Jet grew up hearing turn out to be true?

When she arrives at one of the Nirreth’s infamous “Green Zones,” a place she’s feared her whole life, Jet discovers a world both brutal and beautiful, with beings not so different from herself.

Worse, the real enemies here may not be the Nirreth at all, but members of her own kind.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: This is Part I in the now-complete Alien Apocalypse series. As this was originally envisioned as a serial, the first book ends on a cliffhanger, but the rest of the books in the series are longer novels, and end on a more complete arc.

THE CULLING is the first book in the ALIEN APOCALYPSE series by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, JC Andrijeski. It’s a dystopian, romantic, post-apocalyptic series about a tough girl named Jet Tetsuo who grew up on Earth following an alien invasion. Forced into living among her conquerors, she must learn to navigate a treacherous world full of friends, lovers, and enemies who pose as either or both, even as she becomes their most famous fighter in the Rings, their modern-day version of the coliseum where she must fight just to survive.

No one doubts she’ll die in the Rings. They just hope she’ll put on a good show.

Now a slave of the Nirreth Royals, Jet spends her days babysitting the heir to the alien throne, and her nights training for the Rings.

The Rings are the wildly-popular, televised Nirreth sport, where humans and aliens navigate perilous courses, trying to stay alive. As the first female human ever to run, Jet knows everyone expects her to die in her trial match. The only question for most is how long she’ll last, and what kind of bloody spectacle she’ll provide to entertain the rabid fans.

To beat the Rings, Jet must match wits with Trazen, the youngest Nirreth to ever win the title of “Ringmaster.” Trazen killed more opponents than any other fighter in the Rings, and is widely considered the most brutal, creative, and most brilliant Rings designer they’ve ever had.

Since Jet now secretly works for the human rebellion, a fact that would get her killed instantly if the Royals ever found out, she also can’t let Trazen find out who she really is.

But keeping that from him might be tougher than she thinks, especially when Trazen develops an odd fixation on her, a fixation made deeply dangerous by his reputation as a serial womanizer, and possible serial killer of human women.

THE ROYALS is the second book in the ALIEN APOCALYPSE series by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, JC Andrijeski. It’s a dystopian, romantic, post-apocalyptic series about a tough girl named Jet Tetsuo who grew up on Earth following an alien invasion. Forced into living among her conquerors, she must learn to navigate a treacherous world full of friends, lovers, and enemies who pose as either or both, even as she becomes their most famous fighter in the Rings, their modern-day version of the coliseum where she must fight just to survive.

Slave. Rings Champion. Consort to the Prince.

Jet keeps winning matches, and now her sort-of Nirreth boyfriend, Laksri, has ascended to the Nirreth throne. Jet’s now the most famous, most recognizable human in Nirreth society.

So why does everyone still want to kill her?

Worse, Ringmaster Trazen remains as obsessed with Jet as ever, and keeps trying to get Jet alone. If anything, he seems more determined to put Jet in her place as a “mammal” and a slave, but he acts so strangely around her, Jet can’t figure out what his true motives are.

It seems everyone’s lying to her now, including her own boyfriend. When one of her human friends is given the death penalty for treason, everything comes to a head. Jet is forced to return to the Nirreth home world for the infamous “Retribution,” a Rings match no one survives, and watch her friend murdered on live television.

Meanwhile, a new group of Nirreth is rising, a human-hating faction who want a return to the old ways, when humans were nothing more than food, and disposable sex slaves.

With no one left to trust, and enemies closing in everywhere, Jet realizes the only path to her family’s survival will be the one Jet carves herself.

THE NEW ORDER is the third book in the ALIEN APOCALYPSE series by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, JC Andrijeski. It’s a dystopian, romantic, post-apocalyptic series about a tough girl named Jet Tetsuo who grew up on Earth following an alien invasion. Forced into living among her conquerors, she must learn to navigate a treacherous world full of friends, lovers, and enemies who pose as either or both, even as she becomes their most famous fighter in the Rings, their modern-day version of the coliseum where she must fight just to survive.

A new Nirreth prince has risen, and he wants all the humans dead.

In the fourth and final chapter of the ALIEN APOCALYPSE series, Jet Tetsuo, famous “Samurai” of the Rings, returns to Earth in chains, now the property of her worst enemy, her friends scattered, on the run or dead.

A new Nirreth Prince has usurped the throne, a fanatic determined to bring back the “old ways,” when Nirreth ate humans, murdered them for sport, and raped them with impunity.

That same prince gifted Jet to Ringmaster Trazen, as a reward for helping him take the throne.

It might be easier if Jet could just hate her new owner. If Trazen beat her or mistreated her… or heck, would even just talk to her. But far from giving her more insight into Trazen’s mind, living with the Ringmaster only reveals him to be a bigger enigma than before.

When the new prince announces his intention to annihilate most of the human race, Jet must decide just how far she’s willing to go to stop him.

With the lives of both races in the balance, she might have to trust the very people she swore she’d never trust… or risk losing everyone she’s ever cared about.

THE REBELLION is the fourth book in the ALIEN APOCALYPSE series by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, JC Andrijeski. It’s a dystopian, romantic, post-apocalyptic series about a tough girl named Jet Tetsuo who grew up on Earth following an alien invasion.

Everyone said he burned through human slaves, especially the females. But the tall, handsome alien might be her only chance to survive.

Ringmaster Trazen was definitely the hottest alien Chloe had ever seen.Unfortunately, his reputation was even worse than her current owner’s.

Chloe never expected to live long, not as a house slave of Agnon, a sadist even among his own kind. Being the house pet of a sociopath came with a time stamp and she knew it, but things were tough all over since humans became a slave caste on their own planet, after being colonized by the Nirreth.

It was too late for Chloe, but maybe it wouldn’t be for Kiji, the little sister she struggled to protect. Chloe heard the Nirreth ran female humans now in the Rings, the wildly popular sport every Nirreth loved to bet on.

If Chloe could find Kiji a spot, she might earn her sister a semi-decent life.

Then Chloe catches the eye of the infamous Ringmaster Trazen, and figures her time is finally up. But Trazen may not be exactly what he appears, and not only because he’s the first alien she’s met who Chloe wouldn’t mind being claimed by.

THE RINGS FIGHTER is a companion book in the ALIEN APOCALYPSE series by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, JC Andrijeski. It’s a dystopian, romantic, post-apocalyptic series about a tough girl named Jet Tetsuo who grew up on Earth following an alien invasion.

Dags Jourdain never asked to be an angel.

He called it “The Change,” but he couldn’t explain it. After a night of hallucinogens in the California desert, he crashed through the balcony windows of his East Hollywood apartment with honest-to-god wings on his back.

No one warned him about the chaotic mess of powers he’d inherit. Or that he’d black out every time he flew, waking up naked in random places. Or that he’d start fires. Or that every time he picked up a weapon, there was a good chance someone died.

Now Dags works as a P.I. in Hollywood, California. But only when he’s not hunting demons. Thanks to a particularly nasty one, Dags accidentally saves the life of a movie star, and it turns his life upside down. She hires him for protection and a dead guy leaves Dags his dog. Someone opens a hell portal under the Hollywood sign. A female homicide detective who hates Dags from high school wonders if he’s a serial killer.

Complicating all of that is Phoenix X, a gorgeous movie star with a hot movie star boyfriend. Dags can’t get her out of his head, and she’s just as inexplicably drawn to him. Unfortunately, with demons targeting Dags all over the city and an open portal letting in more, her fascination with him will probably get her killed.

I, ANGEL is the first book in the ANGELS IN L.A. series by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, JC Andrijeski. A gritty angel paranormal mystery with a real-world tone, it features complicated characters that will stick with you, dark themes, and a strong romantic sub-plot.

A hell-portal he can’t close. An unattainable movie star he can’t get out of his head. A whole lot of demons he can’t de-possess fast enough.

Dags spent months trying to forget Phoenix X, the movie star who might be an angel and the one woman he can’t be with. He tries everything to forget about her: hunts demons, hires psychics, avoids her calls… sleeps with a lot of random women.

Nothing helps. Worse, he sees her everywhere, on billboards and in the media, and usually with her movie star boyfriend.

Then a new case lands in his lap. A high school buddy named Uri shows up on Dags’ door, begging for Dags’ help to find his missing wife. Dags soon discovers supernatural beings are involved, and worse, the wife’s disappearance might have something to do with Dags himself, and what he’s done to piss off the demon underground.

Bad things start multiplying as Dags digs into the case: demon hit squads, evil pool parties, mystical drugs, more friends disappearing, illicit make-out sessions, and guns, a lot of guns… and Dags really hates guns.

All those hell-portal demons decided to fight back. If Dags doesn’t get better at being an angel, fast, he might not make it out alive. Worse, he might not save his friends, or Phoenix, or anyone else.

BAD ANGEL is book two in the ANGELS IN L.A. series by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, JC Andrijeski. It’s a gritty angel paranormal mystery with a real-world tone, a strong romantic subplot, and complicated characters that will stick with you.

Dags’s oldest friend might just be the Angel of Darkness.

The demons of Los Angeles found a new master. He’s Dags’s best friend, Uri Kominsky, the only person Dags truly trusted as a teenager, the only person who had his back, the guy who protected Dags from his own messed up family.

Dags may have to kill him. Then again, he may not be able to kill him, and not only because Uri still means something to him, even now. He definitely can’t do nothing. His friend is building an army, and he’ll wipe out anyone who gets in his way.

Then Dags gets a call from Kara, homicide cop for the L.A.P.D. and someone he’s grown to trust. Kara wants his help with a grisly new murder in Koreatown with a lot of bodies, and weird enough to possibly be supernatural. Worse, Kara suspects Uri might be involved, the same dark angel Dags hunts every night.

Dags worries Kara might be right.

Unfortunately, the Koreatown murders are only the beginning. A whole lot of Hollywood people are now under Uri’s sway, along with a human cult that worships fallen angels. To defeat his old friend, Dags will have to take drastic steps, steps that put his friends and especially his girlfriend in danger… again.

ENEMY ANGEL is book three in the ANGELS IN L.A. series by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, JC Andrijeski. It’s a gritty angel paranormal mystery with a real-world tone, a strong romantic subplot, and complicated characters that will stick with you.

I stole Lucifer’s wife. I’m pretty sure he’s gunning for me now.

Dags can’t pretend he’s living the lifestyle of solo angel vigilante these days. His circumstances make that pretty much impossible now.

First there was Kara, the L.A.P.D. homicide detective who discovered his true identity. Now Dags lives with a house-full of people who need protecting from supernatural badness, not to mention a movie star girlfriend newly awakening to her own angelic nature. Phoenix can’t control her powers at all yet, or the intense emotions that come with them.

Oh, and Dags kidnapped one of his oldest friends. That friend, Jade, happens to be married to a guy Dags grew up with, who Dags now feels reasonably confident might actually be Lucifer.

As in the Lucifer. Angel of Darkness. Prince of Lies.

Guy who consumes the world in fire and demons and apocalypse.

Both of Dags’ old friends might be half-awakened angels, but Dags can’t just hand Jade over to her husband given what he likely is. Not when Dags knows her husband, Uri, wants nothing more than for Jade to join him in covering the world in darkness. Dealing with Uri on his own sounded daunting enough. Dealing with both of them together would be a nightmare, and not only because the last thing Dags wants is to kill his oldest friends.

ANGEL ON FIRE is the fourth book in the ANGELS IN L.A. series by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, JC Andrijeski. A gritty angel paranormal mystery with a real-world tone, it features complicated characters that will stick with you, dark themes, and a strong romantic sub-plot.

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 that his 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 collateral damage. He couldn’t be what his dark brother wanted him to be. 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 his friend, 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.

ANGEL WHO FELL is the fifth book in the ANGELS IN L.A. series by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, JC Andrijeski. A gritty angel paranormal mystery with a real-world tone, it features complicated characters that will stick with you, dark themes, and a strong romantic sub-plot.

He never wanted her to know that side of him.
He never wanted her to see him that way.

P.I. and fallen angel, Dags Jourdain, thought he was finally in good with the L.A.P.D., after helping them out with a number of tough cases.

All that changes when Dags’s high school pal and mortal enemy, Uri Kominsky, son of one of Los Angeles’ most notorious crime lords, shows up dead. When hikers find Uri’s half-naked body in Griffith Park, skewered by a sword, Dags ends up high on their suspect list. Even Dags’s homicide detective pal in the L.A.P.D., Kara Mossman, stares at him too long these days, as if trying to decide just how much of a murderer he is.

They’re not exactly wrong. Let’s just say the issue’s complicated.

Before they can lock him up and throw away the key, Dags gets an alibi from an unexpected source, and Kara asks for Dags’s help on a related case, one involving another famous Hollywood-type, someone who’s missing, potentially dead, potentially murdered.

Given everything going on, Dags feels he can’t say no, but the case isn’t as separate from Uri’s death as he thought. Dags knows all the players, including a woman entwined in his past in ways he can’t bear to think about. The whole thing dredges up the very worst parts of him, and involves every dirty secret between him and the mafioso family of the man he’s accused of murdering.

WARNING: there are some tough themes in this one, including (teenaged) child abuse and the emotional fallout around that, as well as adult language and violence.

HOLLYWOOD ANGEL is book #6 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, movie star, Phoenix X.

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.

No one really believed he could be killed. No one except him. No one could defeat Germany in the Great War. Not while Syrimne d’Gaos, “Sword of the Gods,” fought under their banner. The telekinetic seer wiped out thousands in a single battle. He tore through Europe and left a swath of blood and bodies in his wake. His master didn’t truly serve Germany, though. The war was simply a tool, a means of wiping out humans as quickly as possible. He’d never be satisfied with anything less than the subjugation or death of the entire damned race. As for the weapon himself, well… no one really asked him what he thought. Now he’s being…

He appeared out of nowhere. He saved her life. Allie Taylor harbored a fascination with seers for as long as she can remember. A second, psychic race discovered on Earth, seers are exotic, beautiful, hyper-sexual, dangerous as hell, and really danged expensive to own. Unfortunately, a lot of the world doesn’t share Allie’s enthusiasm for them. As more and more Seers appear on the streets of San Francisco where she lives, protests have broken out. Seers can’t venture into public without papers issued by their owners and a collar restraining their psychic sight, but that’s not enough to calm the anti-seer fanatics. They want all the…

Angular features. Freakishly tall, with pale, unnerving, colorless eyes. He moved unlike anyone I’d ever seen. He couldn’t possibly be human. He had to be one of them. Allie only ever glimpsed Seers at a distance, usually in sex clubs, or on the leash of the wealthy and powerful of San Francisco. Fascinating, beautiful, deadly, Seers existed totally outside the sphere of ordinary humans. You had to be rich to own a Seer. You had to be rich to get anywhere near one. Allie’s more focused on getting her mom to a therapist, keeping her friend, Cass, out of crap relationships, and making enough money so they don’t lose the house. When…

“And Death will live among them in the guise of a child…” They call her The Bridge. She leads them now. The reality of that, of leading a people and culture she barely understands, would be daunting even without what the myths say about her. As it is, they look at her, and see the end of the world. More unnerving still, they want to follow her there. She’s married now. She still doesn’t know what that means either, not being married to a Seer, and certainly not to her actual husband, who’s never exactly been an easy person to read. A new set of rules around Seer culture and her relationship with the infamous Seer infiltrator,…

"I was now, officially, a real terrorist…” After losing her husband, Allie fights to prevent the human and seer worlds from exploding into all-out war. But her husband, Revik, isn’t really gone. Instead he’s transformed into someone she barely knows. Now they’re on opposites sides of a racial war––a war he wants to see play out, a war he’s ready for, and worse, one he’s already fighting. Compromise with him might be impossible, but it also might be the only way she can save him from himself. It might also be the only way to keep him from killing everyone she loves. * Psychic suspense. Apocalyptic. The third chapter in…

“You’ve been the bad guy so long, you don’t remember what it’s like to be good.” The year was 1974… and she’d finally found him. Prior to meeting Allie Taylor in San Francisco, infamous seer and infiltrator, Dehgoies Revik, lived life as a senior lieutenant of dark, anti-human, terrorist seers known as the Rooks. By 1974, he’s worked for their leader, Galaith, for over thirty years, ever since Galaith first pulled him out of a Nazi prison in Berlin. Living the life of a degenerate and an assassin, Revik hasn’t been happy in years. He tells himself it doesn’t matter, that he’s helping his people, working for “the Org,” what insiders…

“All what he has done, he has done for the greater good…” Allie stole her husband from the rebels, and now half the seer race wants her dead. Her husband, Revik, infamous “Sword,” and leader of the anti-human rebellion, freed millions when he destroyed the despised Registry system, destroying work camps and making him even more of a hero to his people. But Allie didn’t take Revik to stop his terrorism. She took him to save his mind and soul from the Dreng, the dark beings who control him. As for Revik himself, he turns into a feral animal once separated from his dark masters. She only has one shot to save him. Unfortunately,…

“I thought the two of you were scary individually.” He raised his voice against the wind. “Together, you’re worse. You know that, right? A lot worse, man.” Plagued by prescient nightmares and with hostile seers on their trail, Allie and Revik set up camp in New York, along with the remnants of their alliance. Then a human-killing virus strikes San Francisco. Allie’s loved ones begin to disappear. Allie and Revik are forced to make impossible choices: robbing banks, dealing with double agents, hunting assassins and spies, building a refugee camp out of a five-star hotel––fixing their marriage. Meanwhile, Allie’s brother, Jon,…
