Blood & Ash: A Snarky Urban Fantasy Detective Series (The Jezebel Files, #1)

"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.
