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 opened the case, removed the metal tube from the spongey interior, and slid it over. Icy hooks dug into my chest, but I batted the fear away. My powers were suppressed. I wouldn't be able to sense the angel magic until Avi was neutralized. I had time.  


Isaac's face lit up with reverential awe. He removed the scrolls and pressed them together. 


In the world's most unfair twist, the Sefer's magic - and my ability to sense it - defied Avi's nulling. 


I fell to my knees, my body clenching in yearning, trying not to belly crawl towards the hot gritty scent of a sandstorm that filled every inch of me. This wasn't just a craving, the magic owned me.  


Isaac whirled on me. "Make it do something!" 


"Like what?" I scraped my fingernails against the cold tiles, my mouth salivating since I had neither the amulet nor Rafael to help me. "I've never had all the scrolls."  


Isaac shook the Sefer pieces. "Tell me or I'll kill your mother."
