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

My office was so quiet, the only sound was the air conditioner clunking on above us. 


Levi pushed his chair back. "Look, if this is asking too much with my mom, just say so. I'm an adult. I'll figure something out." 


Levi had come to me, not because he had to, but because he trusted me. I'd been furious when he'd confided in me at the beach because it presumed a level of intimacy between us that he himself had cut off. It was selfish and hurtful of him to put me in that position, especially when I needed an emotionally clean break.  


Was it different with trust? What role did I see Levi playing in my fight against Chariot if I no longer trusted him? Was he simply the bank? I didn't know, and I didn't need to for this request. The smoother his relationship with Nicola, the better it was for my case. Levi could get to his mom faster than I could in the event of an emergency.
