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

"Okay, no." I smacked her hand away. "This weird baby shit is exactly why I am not a puppy person and will not be keeping her. I just wasn't about to call her 'dog' all the time like a preschooler. The rescue shelter was full, and I was too tired to drive to the one on the other side of town, but as soon as I can find her a good home, she goes away."  


My work wasn't conducive to having a dog. Mrs. Hudson deserved stability and a loving family. 


"Uh-huh." Pri's green eyes narrowed doubtfully at me. "Come eat. There's Chinese take-out if you want some." 


I was running low and scraped raw and I needed solitude to recharge, but Priya had never counted as company. She was just my Pri, and I could de-stress around her as easily as by myself in my bedroom. But something niggled at me. I squinted, calling up my mental calendar. "Hold on, isn't it Arianna's birthday dinner tonight?" 


"Wasn't feeling it." She grabbed the leash from me. "More fun to hang out with you and Mrs. Hudson."
