There's no denying the attraction between Jesse and Gabriel, but Jesse doesn't like vampires, and he purposely avoids Gabriel whenever he can. When Jesse witnesses a murder, he finds himself on the run, and his only choice is to turn to the one man he's been trying to ignore.
Jesse and Gabriel have their work cut out for them the moment they step foot into Gabriel's home world of Abaddon. With the elemental ice mage Lazarus they uncover the unthinkable: a plot to overthrow the throne of Abaddon itself.
Gabriel has a secret weapon in the coming war: Jesse. As a vampire/elemental crossbreed, Jesse possesses powers surpassing those of both his lovers. There's little time for him to come into his full abilities, however, and it's going to take a miracle if he and his lovers are to survive.
Publisher's Note: Spirits of Abaddon contains the previously published novellas Bad Blood, Sanctified, Darkness in Paradise, Twilight of the Gods.
"Imaginative, action-packed, and sexy in a very yaoi way, anyone looking to leave the earthly realms and descend to the fiery depths of hell for some primal, bestial love, sex, and war between demons, archdemons, elementals, and other, will enjoy this rocking, rolling, sizzling hot read."
"Edgy and sexy and addictive. More please."
"Complex and sexy..."
"Black gives enough detail on Gabriel's origins to prepare us for the fight of a lifetime. Old squabbles have surfaced and there's going to be hell to pay. He adds action, suspense and sizzling sex to make Bad Blood a book worthy of a read or two."
"If you want a story with steamy sex, horny demons, and plot twists galore, then you need to read Sanctified."
"With the right amount of sex, mystery and passion, this author delivers something so explosive you will need an ice bath to cool down. I look forward to more from this talented author. I just hope it isn't too long of a wait for the next book."
"Action, suspense, duplicity and sensually written erotic scenes are all awaiting you in Sanctified."
"Jesse, our vamp crossbreed, is as awesome as he has been since book one. I really loved how Mychael tied the story up, the amazing world he sets us in; the way he does this in the amount of pages truly made it a worthwhile read."
"Erotic interludes blended within a fast paced, action packed drama brings Darkness in Paradise to life. Worth indulging... a tale of breathless high octane sex."
"Jesse and Gabriel's willingness to stand up to protect their lover is great to see. I appreciated the love and caring between the men and thought this was a great addition to the series."
"Demons, mages, vampires, oh my! Throw in a menage relationship, and things get interesting. I liked how the three lovers interacted with each other, you could just see the love and that they'd been together a while. I must admit, Jesse is my favorite as he's just too cute and funny!"
"The drama is taut and the danger is real for the trio who simply want to be left in peace to live and love. A satisfying drama neatly tied up with some hot and heavy sexual encounters..."

Excerpt from Bad Blood
Energy hummed through Jesse, and he left the techs to break down his kit. The crowd normally gathered in front of the stage had dispersed, some to the bar, others scattered around the small but popular club. He grinned and caught a bottle of water when the bartender tossed it to him.
"Good show."
Jesse closed his eyes and barely suppressed a shiver. He clutched the cold bottle, hoping it would put out the heat surging through his body. He knew that voice. He heard it every night in his head, every time he wrapped his fingers around his own cock.
"Thanks." He forced himself to turn around and meet an enigmatic grey gaze.
Gabriel Walsh embodied everything Jesse had ever wanted: gorgeous looks, expressive eyes, a body built for sin, and all in all, a decent personality. Only one problem... Gabriel also had fangs. And drank blood. Human blood.
That fact alone scared the hell out of Jesse more than he cared to admit.
Yet he couldn't resist panting Gabriel's name every night, even if no one else heard it.
Jesse struggled for something to say, but his voice refused to work beyond one-syllable words. Gabriel smiled, the effect disarming until his fangs came into view. Unlike Julian, Gabriel didn't hide them. Jesse wondered if there were more differences between them -- namely feeding. Julian didn't kill, but Jesse had a gut feeling Gabriel did, and would gladly do so again.
"Jess!"
Grateful for something to break the tension, Jesse turned away from Gabriel and waved at Jason. "I'll catch you guys later!" Then he returned his attention to Gabriel. "Um, I need to go."
Gabriel nodded and motioned toward the door. "I'm sure we'll meet again."
"Yeah."
Jesse hurried out of the bar and only stopped walking fast when he neared his car. He got in and shut the door, but instead of turning the key, he rested his forehead to the steering wheel, eyes closed, and concentrated on breathing. Why, out of all the guys in Atlanta, did he have to fall for the one who scared the ever-loving shit out of him?
A knock on the driver's side window startled him, and he jerked his head up to see Gabriel crouching beside the car. Jesse rolled down the window, hoping the door itself would be enough of a barrier between them.
"Are you all right?"
"Yeah, yeah. Just... tired, I guess. Long show."
"Why do you fear us?"
"I don't." Jesse shrugged. "I don't like vampires; that's all. At least Julian doesn't freak me out anymore."
"And me?"
Jesse refused to meet Gabriel's gaze. "You aren't like him."
"Oh?"
A single touch, a finger beneath his chin, drew Jesse's face back around. This man embodied sex appeal so strong it chipped away at Jesse's defenses little by little. Gabriel Walsh also was, without a doubt, dangerous.
"I would never hurt you."
Jesse wanted to believe it. He wanted it almost as much as Gabriel himself. Gabriel traced Jesse's jaw with his fingertip and it took every ounce of willpower on Jesse's part to not chase that finger with his mouth. He stared at lips he'd fantasized about, only to realize he hadn't heard a word Gabriel said.
He blinked and looked up. "Um, sorry. I wasn't..." Gabriel smiled slowly. "I didn't..." He watched, entranced by the lips nearing his own. "I..."
Stop. Stop, stop, stop...
The first touch stole his breath and the protests died on his tongue. In a momentary lapse of reason, Jesse gave in. Gabriel took control, tongue sweeping through Jesse's mouth, hands on either side of his head. Before Jesse could even think about how far he really wanted this to go, however, Gabriel drew back.
"I know you don't trust me, but I'm here should you ever need me."
Jesse watched Gabriel walk away and a part of him screamed for more than a kiss. Much more.
