When detective for hire, Ashira Cohen, was 13, her con artist father disappeared, leaving her with emotional scars and a limp she can't hide. But she toughened up, determined never to be played again. Is history repeating itself?

First, she's hit on the head during a stakeout, revealing a mysterious tattoo on the back of her skull. Even worse? It's a now-broken ward unleashing dangerous magic that as a Mundane, she shouldn't possess. 

Her unruly powers nearly kill her long-time nemesis, Levi, the uptight leader of the magic community. One word from him about her forbidden abilities, and everything she's built will be taken from her… by force.

The only bright spot is that Levi requires her supernatural skills, providing Ash's chance at payback and she's going to enjoy every second of it.

Series includes: Blood & Ash, Death & Desire, Shadows & Surrender, and Revenge & Rapture.

The Jezebel Files

After sharing half of the jelly doughnut with Priya, I set her searching for all missing persons' records in the past six months across the country. If a pattern emerged, I could cross-check it against Nefesh heart attack victims and see if there was a conclusive tie.  


Talia had left me a message saying that she saw me run out of the gala last night, that my entire behavior had been aberrant, and to call her. Fun as that sounded, my masochism quota for the day was filled by tonight's training session. 


I headed over to the youth shelter where Meryem stayed semi-regularly. It was a short walk away from the office, located in a drab concrete building in a part of the Downtown Eastside that had yet to feel the effects of gentrification.
