"Wilde combines hardboiled noir and Jewish folklore in this action-packed, perfectly paced paranormal romp… This giddy, sexy series launch is a delight." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Missing teens. Illegal magic. And the sexy nemesis who might drive her to murder.
Ashira Cohen built her detective agency from the ground up. Small, yes-but even Sherlock Holmes started somewhere. Then a routine stakeout goes sideways, leaving her with a concussion, a mysterious tattoo hidden under her hair, and the ability to see shadow creatures that kill people.
Shadow creatures no one else can see.
Worse? She accidentally summons a weapon made of her own blood. In front of Levi Montefiore.
He's the arrogant, infuriatingly gorgeous head of the magical community. Her long-time nemesis. And he immediately throws her in a cell on suspicion of being a Rogue.
Turns out the tattoo was a magical ward suppressing dangerous blood magic she never knew she had. Magic that's not just rare-it's forbidden. One word from Levi and she loses everything: her agency, her freedom, her future.
Except Levi needs her. Teens are vanishing, and Ash is the only one who can track the creatures behind it.
She'll have to infiltrate a magical black market, outwit a cunning queen who trades in secrets, and navigate the thin line between investigating Levi's world and wanting to strangle him. Or kiss him. The jury's still out.
Smart is the new kickass, and Ash'll prove she's both.
If you love Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels and Hidden Legacy series, The Jezebel Files delivers clever mysteries, razor-sharp banter, and a heroine who outwits as much as she outfights.

Klappentext
Missing teens. Long-lost magic. Can one determined private eye topple a dark conspiracy?
Detective for hire, Ashira Cohen is having a no-good, very bad day.
When Ash was thirteen, 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.
And the icing on this crap cake? Her unruly powers nearly kill her long-time nemesis, Levi, the uptight leader of the magic community. One word from him revealing 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 to solve a spree of abductions. After years of being underestimated by him, it's Ash's chance at payback and she's going to enjoy bringing him to his knees-or stuffing him in a body bag.
Crackling with humor and suspense, Blood & Ash features a headstrong heroine tackling paranormal mysteries and an enemies-to-lovers romance.
