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 had the scariest feeling that he'd gone away and that this Levi was just an illusion. "Hidden in plain sight, right? That was Adam's thing." 


"The box is empty." I rubbed his arm, trying to get some look or action to prove that my wonderful boyfriend was there and not this shut-down automaton. 


"It shouldn't be," Levi said, and walked out the door.  


Rafael and I scrambled after him down the back stairs and into the kitchen.  


Nicola turned, her entire face lighting up at the sight of her son. "Levi. What are you doing here?" 


He took her elbow and led her outside. Rafael and I weren't invited, but we followed and Levi didn't protest. He didn't register us at all. 


"Remember when I was younger, I had that hiding spot?" Levi said. 


She smiled. "Sì. Where you used to put your special toys and books." She glanced at us. 


"You can speak in front of them," Levi said.  


"Va bene. Anything you didn't want your father to know you cared about."
