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

"Hold on, Alfie." Running like the hounds of Hell were nipping at my heels, I sprinted down the fire escape, and ripped Mayan's necklace off. 


She clawed at me, biting my arm, so I decked her. Her head lolled back against the dusty street. Unconscious was safer than dead. It may not have been the most optimal overall, but if we broadened the definition of "unharmed" from "not a scratch on her" to "still breathing, thanks to yours truly" then I hadn't broken my promise to Levi.  


I hauled ass back to Alfie and pressed the pendant against his skin. His eyes fluttered shut.  


I forced his mouth open and made him lick it.  


With a strangled roar, I shattered the stone in my fist.  


Blue powder erupted in a puff, coating Alfie's face. 


There was a sizzling noise and the smell of bitter licorice, then the black lines on his face disappeared.
