Gracie Reed is doing just fine. Sure, she was fired by her overly “friendly” boss, and yes, she still hasn’t gotten her mother into the nursing home of their dreams, but she’s healthy, she’s (somewhat) happy, and she’s (mostly) holding it all together. But when a mysterious SUV pulls up beside her, revealing Chinese cinema's golden couple Wei Fangli and Sam Yao, Gracie’s world is turned on its head. The famous actress has a proposition: Due to their uncanny resemblance, Fangli wants Gracie to be her stand-in.

Didn’t even get very far. Couldn’t get interested in characters or plot. Too fluffy for me.

Zoe Martinique has the extraordinary ability to travel outside her body at will. When she is drawn into an investigation of a series of bizarre murders, in which the victims are missing body parts, Zoe hopes to help her boyfriend, Atlanta homicide detective Daniel Frasier, stop the killer one she's sure is from the darkest levels of the astral plane without letting him find out about her special abilities.

I liked the first book in this series but won't finish listening to this one. The reader's voice portrays the main character or maybe accentuates her as snarky. She rapidly became an irritating persona to have in my ear. Thought maybe interaction with supporting characters of Mother, Best Friend and Hot Boyfriend would add some context to the plot but instead the plot began to resemble the Too Dumb to Live scenario of heroines in old gothic novels.
