Sometime between Tasha Stewart witnessing the murder of her parents and the attempt on her life, she made a deal with a goddess. In exchange for superpowers Tasha would bring Justice to the city. A cold relentless Justice, no lawyers, no courts, and no mercy.

Only her unexpected compassion for a monster and the friendship of Lady Blue will keep her grounded in herself.
Genre: FICTION / Action & AdventureThis is a part of the Goddess series and sold VERY well.
Justice?
Tasha paced about her bedroom, fuming. Grounded? Sent to her room? She was twenty years old, for Christ’s sake. She had taken part in a protest march, not a riot. She yanked the elastic from her long dark hair in frustration. Dammit anyway, this was wrong, so wrong. “I marched for justice, but there’s no justice for me.”
With a deep sigh she stepped before the mirror and took in her exotic looks. Her mom was First Nations and her dad was black. She had the long straight hair, high cheekbones, and lighter colouring of her mother plus the flashing eyes and dazzling smile of her father. That smile was nowhere to be seen this night.
Grounded, yeah, right. The hell she was. “I seriously need to get my own place.” She swiftly dressed in black tights and a tank top. A few essentials and spare undies in her backpack and she was ready to go. Tasha was just climbing out her window when she heard the front door crash inward. Loud shouts of, “Get on the floor, nigger! Now!” There were more shouts, her mother’s scream, and then the gunfire.
Shocked, horrified, and trembling, she stood frozen, her stomach heaving, and listening to the voices from the main floor. “God damn it, Murdock, what the hell is wrong with you? Now we have to cover this up and hope like hell it doesn’t cause another riot.”
“He tried to kill me, you saw it, Jim.”
“I didn’t see a damn thing, Murdock. He was unarmed and so was the woman. All right, boys, it’s a goddamn mess now. Search the rest of the house, find that damn kid and shoot to kill. No point making this any worse than it is. Damn niggers anyway. And make sure you get that cell phone.”
