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.

Generally, I wouldn't risk a go-between on this, but Alfie was an open book and saving his life had bought me his loyalty. Sherlock had his Irregulars, and Alfie was definitely that, even if he wasn't a child. Plus, this was his mother and it's not like I was tight with dealers in supernatural antiquities. 


"It's called the Kiss of Death." I described its altar origins and that it was powerful, omitting specifics about Jezebel blood giving it Asherah magic.  


Alfie took my card, promising to call if he learned anything.
