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.

The Jezebel Files

One of the newbies finished mangling Whitney Houston and Kenneth handed Levi the microphone. His selection wasn't written down. 


Whatever the song was, it was not "You Shook Me."  


I smirked at Priya, not recognizing the tune until Levi rapped the chorus. It was "Get Ur Freak On." I stood at the side of the stage, my smirk falling away, because he was nailing the rap. He was just drunk enough that his words were slightly slurred, but his voice was low and rich, rolling through me.  


About three-quarters of the way into the song, Levi started twerking, one arm flung up like a drunk bride claiming her victory dance, and suddenly AC/DC wasn't much of a barometer of anything. 


When he got off the stage to a standing ovation from our table, he came over. "Surprised?" 


"Hot damn, son," I said, "you're my hero."
