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

The revelation put a damper on our socializing. Rafael opted to go to the library to work on a way to block or locate the Kiss of Death, while I'd also put out feelers for the amulet.  


Rafael's parting advice? Don't let Isaac catch me. 


Our remaining trio rode home in silence, most of it spent behind a bus with another of those annoyingly upbeat golf tournament advertisements.  


Arkady stopped me before we went into our respective apartments. "No matter what you believe, Ash, I have your back. You need a security detail or a personal bodyguard, I'm here." 


Priya slammed our front door and stomped into the kitchen, muttering loudly about all the bodily harm she'd inflict on Isaac if he so much as sneezed the wrong way at me. I leaned against the kitchen counter while she banged cupboard doors, accruing random items until she'd run out of steam. Amazingly, Mrs. Hudson slept through it all in my bedroom.
