I, Angel: An Urban Fantasy Mystery with Fallen Angels and Fated Mates (Angels in L.A.) Paperback – December 31, 2020

Some angels don’t get harps. We hunt demons.

I never asked to be an angel. Truthfully, being an angel kinda sucks.

This gig didn’t come with an instruction manual. No one told me about the mess of powers I’d inherit, with no idea how to control. Or that I’d black out when I fly, waking up naked in random places. Or that I could only sleep in windowless rooms.

Or that every time I pick up a weapon, there’s a good chance someone dies.

Oh, and I can’t drink alcohol anymore, since I randomly start fires.

Pretty hard to maintain a social life, given that––much less date.

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. 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?

I wasn't expecting this story but I really fell in Love with it 😍. How do you get into the mysteries of the universe and become something that you have no idea how to handle 😲? Thanks so much JC, I truly enjoyed reading this story and look forward to reading more 🤓.

This book has the feel of a romance, but most of it is a paranormal mystery. Dag’s entire existence is such a puzzle, and the drama he’s drawn into captured my attention from the first page.

I’m looking forward to the rest of the series as he and Phoenix work through their complicated relationship.

Interesting story. I Really hate books that do not come to some sort of completion. Even with the free epilog included, this definitely did not. Kinda like a series that never ends. I really prefer a book to be a story that comes to a point that is stable and a breaking point. Where I really WANT to read further, but don't have to. This whole book is like chapter one of a normal book. I probably will drop it at this point because I fear that the end of book two will be at the same point I currently am at and so on. Never getting to any completion point. I don't like it ENOUGH to want to read 15 or 20 books to find out what happens.

I popped my JC cherry on the Bridge and Sword series. I've never loved/hated a book before Rook. I'd read avidly and then got totally into the character's frustration and out it down only to take a short walk and gird myself to pick it up again. Every. Single. Time.
I've read that series thrice. I dumpster dived used book sites looking for the original paperbacks, previously dubbed Allie's War, between each stretch between the Bridge re-releases. Each novel was rapid cycling, bi-polar crack. I was addicted to the manic moments and equally drawn to the periodic downturns (when I had to get my "gird" on) right along with the main chatacters.
I devoured the Quentin Black series twice and I'm about to start it again to hit the newer ones and Nick's spinoff series in sequence.
I loved Slave Girl/Alien Apocalypse series. Her stand alone novels are brillient. The only bummer was the premature death of The Morph series.
Jc Andrijeski's books are an immersive adventure where the reader experiences vicariously each thrill, every success and the depth of despair alongside the characters on every page. Andrijeski's novels are "E" ticket rides that makes Space Mountain pale in comparison.

Why do demons keep showing up? Is he really an angel? Why does he end up with movie stars? Read.

This is a good start to what will hopefully be a good series., however I must admit that I did get a little tired of the repetitious references to jaw clenching and frowning (hence the lower rating). The story was good though so I will continue on to book 2.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quirky, different take on the paranormal
Reviewed in France on September 13, 2021

I like the subject of the paranormal, and I liked this one because the central character, Dags, obviously has a lot of problems with the powers that he unexpectedly acquired. He is a very likeable character, he doesn't take himself too seriously and I found it easy to sympathise with him. I feel that this first novel, and the free epilogue offered at the end, really are just the start - there is a lot more to this story in the subsequent books, so I would like to try and read them all. I want to know what happens in his fight against demons - and his feelings for the young film star who is in some way connected with him

No plot spoilers
No potential triggers
No grammatical or editorial errors
I gave five stars because from the first page I was hooked. Dags is a hard character to like or empathise with, but the author managed to make him soft enough around the edges that my empathy rose without my realising. The subject of his affection, Phoenix, is more difficult to relate to, being an obnoxious starlet at times and non descriptive at others, there's just not enough of her for a reader to form an opinion.
I totally loved the writing style, but hated that it ends not exactly on a cliff hanger, but setting up the next book in this series.
There is loads of swearing but only one instance of sex, and even then it's pretty tame.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good urban fantasy

This was on free offer, and sounded intriguing, so I gave it a try.
It was much better than I’d hoped; well paced, believable characters, and a strong plot. It was slightly reminiscent of the style of the Dresden Files, which is a high compliment. I’ll be buying of this authors work.
A couple of minor niggles: there were far too many instances of Dag’s jaw hardening, and strange phraseology - “… he said, gruff,” “… he said, “… she said, impatient,” “… she said, blunt.”
There are numerous examples of this, when the proper use of the adverb - gruffly, impatiently, bluntly - would be more correct.
As I say, minor niggles. I enjoyed the book a great deal, and will certainly read the rest of the series.
