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

I stayed there in the common area, Mrs. Hudson panting amicably at my feet. This was supposed to have gone so much differently. "I really blew that one, huh?" I said to the dog. "I pulled the same overprotective crap on her that Levi pulled on me. I can be pretty dense for a smart woman."  


Mrs. Hudson put her head on my shoe consolingly and then scrambled into my lap. I sighed and checked the time. If I hurried, I could drop her off at the animal shelter and still make it to the airport since I was only taking a carry-on. Except I'd have to gather all her stuff and she needed a quick walk and a feed and the thought of her whimpering in a cage all alone instead of on her comfy bed in my room left a dull ache in my chest. 


The puppy, however, wasn't an adult human who could fend for herself if I fucked up.
