R.I.P. = Reanimated, Infernal, and Pretty damn dangerous

Struggling actress Esther Diamond, whose year got off to a rough start (what with incarceration, unemployment, and mystical death curses), finally catches a break when she lands an acting job.

She's hired to reprise her guest role as prostitute Jilly C-Note on The Dirty Thirty, a TV crime drama about depravity and corruption in the New York Police Department. Esther's ex-sometime boyfriend, NYPD's Detective Connor Lopez, hates that show with undying passion - especially after Esther convinces her narcissistic co-star to shadow Lopez on the job, in order to add verisimilitude to his performance as a morally bankrupt cop.

But Esther's fellow thespian is her best bet for keeping an eye on Lopez 24/7 - and, more to the point, on Lopez's new partner, Detective Quinn. Esther and her friend Max, a 350-year-old mage whose day job is protecting the city from Evil, suspect Quinn of being involved in the latest mystical mayhem to menace Manhattan...

Corpses suddenly aren't staying quite as dead as they should.

While Max and Esther try to determine what Quinn's role is in the supernatural reanimation of the deceased downtown, a dangerous foe with deadly intent changes everyone's dinner plans one cold winter night...

Amazing can’t wait for the next

I’m in love with these graphic audiobooks! It makes listening so much more interesting. Now I’m off to find another!

hope there's more

Every previous book has been well done. I enjoyed the cast preformances. The ending is open. I hope there is more in future.

Enjoyable

This I a truly enjoyable audio book experience , the series will definitely grow within the listener.
Can’t wait till the next audio book is out

Entertaining time spent with characters I enjoy

I've really grown fond of Esther as a character and enjoy her adventures as a working actress, as a fellow theatre professional it's surprisingly accurate. The mystical is usually more interesting and felt a little thin on this installment. I'm sad that the whole Lopez mystery isn't resolved and this seems to be the last book. I was looking forward to more interaction between Max and Lopez as his protege and to find out is Esther has a mystical connection herself. The performances are all solid as well, the plot just a bit thin. And is disappointing it appears to be the end.

Loved it however…

I loved the whole series, however it’s been almost ten years is there another book coming??? I hate when things end like that. So if you don’t want a disappointing ending don’t read. Otherwise it was great. The author just needs to finish the series.

When is the next one?

Love all the characters! It was able to take me into their lives and out of mine.

This series was amazing!!

I loved this whole series! I totally wished there were more but it looks like this may be the last.

This one was a scary one!

This one was a scary one! It was really really good. Now I need to find out what happens next!

Excellent!

I am loving this series!! The storylines are fun & I really love the characters! The Graphic Audio version is wonderful and brings the story to life! I really hope this isn't the last book in the series, if it is I'll be very disappointed!! Love this book!

Disappointing series end

I LOVED this series!!! Acting on point and hilarious! However the ending of the series , has left me hanging and bitter. Very very disappointed
