Jezebel is a magicians assistant in Vegas with a heavy drinking problem and a dead fianc. When shes in a bar, shes warned desperately about men who are coming after her  the same men who killed her fianc. When shes touched by a strange golden page, she passes out and when she awakes, shes filled with a new ability. Absorbing as many pages as she can (a la The Matrix), Jezebel becomes very powerful and a higher-up into an organization who wishes to keep the populace deaf and dumb to the possibilities of a new world order. JEZEBELS LADDER has plenty of action, some great characters, and a viciously fast pace. The reader is thrust into Jezebels new world along with her and there is little back story. I wish there had been some more meat to the story as far as where the pages came from and how they really worked, as well as character development. Jezebel seems to be the ultimate fantasy woman  beautiful, smart, funny, powerful, magical, and has the ability to do anything she puts her mind to doing. I think this is why, even though JEZEBELS LADDER is sci-fi/fantasy it is hard to connect with her being so perfect. I think the characters readers are most able to connect with have some type of flaw and Jezs instantly cured alcoholism isn't enough. However, I can see JEZEBELS LADDER turning into an action film very easily.
