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

No one ever looked at me and thought, "Damn, I bet that chick can belt Aerosmith," but they'd be wrong. I sang the chorus of "Dream On" while throwing devil horns and headbanging, my loose waves flying around my face. 


When I hit the high part, striking my best rock star pose and the mic held directly above my upturned face, the bar burst into cheers. 


I killed that ballad and swaggered back to my table.  


Blondie's was poorly lit, the bathroom floors got sticky after 10PM, and smart patrons stuck to French fries and beer. But it had karaoke and was my favorite drinking hole in the city. 


Ruthie, a yoga pant wearing soccer mom who came to karaoke night once a month religiously with her sister, took the mike for her gravelly-voiced rendition of "Blank Slate." 


"Nicely done, Holmes." Priya handed me a shot of Kick in the Balls, clinking her glass to mine.
