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

"Little jewel." Dad's chocolate brown eyes twinkled. His dark brown hair shot through with salt-and-pepper was cut short and he wore the brown and cream diamond-patterned cardigan that he'd called his Mr. Rogers sweater. 


"Nope. Not buying it. We've done this illusion dance before, false Adam. Begone. I've already lost you and you're not what I'm here to find." 


"Never take anything at face value. Come on, Ash, I taught you better." 


He winked. "It's elementary." With that, he melted back into the shadow of shelving units. 


Elementary. Basic. Simple and straightforward. Don't take him at face value. Not here to find my literal father. My symbolic father? What did he represent? My lost childhood? No, that would have been filed under lost youth.  


A kernel of hope sparked in my chest. Would I finally learn what had happened to him?
