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

He refused to talk, so I cuffed him with my handy magic suppressors that hung from my belt loops, which I'd brought along in case of any trouble with the Nefesh youth when I'd been asking about Meryem. Then I frog-marched him into Moriarty's passenger seat. 


This blood powers asshattery needed an instruction manual because it took me five minutes and a whole bunch of straining noises that sounded too much like taking a shit to make the shield disappear. I wiped myself off as best I could with most of a package of baby wipes, then scrabbled at my glove compartment for the box of chocolate-covered almonds and a stick of stale beef jerky left over from a stakeout last year. Expiration dates were only a suggestion, right? 


I devoured all of it in a rush, my lightheadedness only slightly abating. Blood loss sucked. "Ready to talk yet?" 


The Van Gogh stared stubbornly out the window.
