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

Levi greeted me at the front door in a loose gray T-shirt and jeans, his feet bare. He pushed his glasses up his nose with a boyishly awkward gesture. "Come in." 


I sniffed the air hopefully, but he hadn't made biscotti.  


I waggled my fingers in front of the glass and a skinny little neon tetra swam over to investigate. 


Levi reached into a banker box next to his laptop and pulled out a stack of ledgers. "Voilà." He motioned me over, flipping the top book open to the first page. 


Levi tapped the page. "Olivia got suspicious when Jackson wanted Allegra to support the youth shelter because their other charities were far more high-profile. When she learned that the shelter had amended its mandate to take in Nefesh kids, those suspicions went into high alert." 


"Fueled by Jackson's anti-Nefesh stance."
