"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. Impossible magic. And the sexy nemesis who might drive her to murder.

Ashira Cohen takes great pride in the detective agency she's built from scratch. It may be small, but she harbors big dreams of becoming a renowned sleuth.

Thing is, a modern-day Sherlock Holmes wouldn't let her stakeout go sideways.

Or find a mysterious tattoo hidden on her scalp.

Or discover it's a now-broken ward that was suppressing dangerous magic she had no idea she possessed.

Don't even get her started on the golem. 

The only bright spot is that her new unruly powers nearly kill her long-time nemesis, Levi, the irritatingly hot leader of the magic community. No, right... that's a bad thing. 

One word from him revealing her forbidden abilities and she'll be locked up for life, with everything she's built taken from her by force. Definitely a bad thing. 

Except... 

It seems Levi requires her unique set of skills to solve a spree of abductions.

This is her shot. Sure, there's a sinister supernatural organization pulling strings from the shadows, but Ash is positive she can rescue the captives, uncover the truth, and take her career to a new level.

Plus, after years of being underestimated by Levi, it's Ash's chance at payback. And she's going to relish bringing him to his knees.

If you like headstrong heroines, clever mysteries, and a dash of red-hot romance, you'll burn through this wickedly funny series.

      Starred review from January 6, 2020
      Wilde (the Unlikeable Demon Hunter series) combines hardboiled noir and Jewish folklore in this action-packed, perfectly paced paranormal romp. A centuries-old botched Kabbalah ritual created the magic users, or Nefesh, that pervade mundane private investigator Ashira Cohen’s alternate present-day Vancouver. Ash discovers a Star of David tattooed on her scalp and realizes it’s a ward meant to suppress the dormant blood magic she never knew she had. When she breaks the ward, her newfound abilities allow her to perceive a vicious, undiscovered shadow magic that no one else can see, not even the other Nefesh. Levi Montefiore, Ash’s childhood rival turned leader of Nefesh regulatory body House Pacifica, hires Ash to track those shadows down. Soon that case converges with one she’s working for a teenage client hoping to track down her missing refugee girlfriend. Golems, Nefesh politics, a dangerous plot to sell magic, and Ash’s attraction to Levi add spice, but the real star is Ash’s hilariously snarky narrative voice, which is archly sarcastic but never mean. Wilde balances exuberant wit with deep compassion and handles Ash’s chronic pain and fragmented family with care. This giddy, sexy series launch is a delight.
