Publisher's summary

A struggling actress, a 350-year-old mage whose day job is protecting New York City from Evil, a skeptical cop - and double the number of wiseguys that there should be....

While working as a singing waitress in Little Italy, struggling actress Esther Diamond witnesses a mob hit. And right before getting whacked out, the victim tells her that he just saw his own doppio - a perfect double and a notorious portent of death.

Before long, more döppelgangers start haunting New York’s mobsters, who are subsequently getting bumped off in mysterious ways. Meanwhile, Esther’s new love-interest, Detective Connor Lopez, gets transferred to the NYPD’s organized crime unit and is assigned to investigate these hits.

Determined to prevent the murder of more of her restaurant customers, which slayings will soon lead to a mob war, Esther tries to uncover the evil genius behind the deadly doppelgangsters. Along with a 350 -year-old sorcerer and an aging hit man, Esther delves deep into the world of wiseguys in pursuit of a ruthlessly mystical murderer.

Fun story!

I genuinely enjoyed listening to this story. The characters are well written, the storyline is interesting, and the narrators for the Graphic Audio version do an excellent job! I'm excited to listen to the next book in the series.

excellent

Excellent continuation of series. The cast for this series is very good. The actor for our MC is near perfect. There is plenty of humor with the plot development. I suggest giving this series a trial.

Mafia-lite … except for the F bombs

It seems this series will feature Esther, an aspiring actress with zero magical skills, who keeps coincidentally finding herself in the middle of a magical mystery. I enjoyed the dopplegangster mafia-magical mystery and the fish out of water fun as Esther and wizard Max find themselves neck deep in wiseguys and mob-lingo.

One minor annoyance was the F bombs, which felt off compared to the otherwise cozy feel. The opening chapter, with the mobsters dropping F bombs like machine gun fire, was particularly unnecessary.

I also am a touch disappointed at the meager use of magic. Two books in a row and the only magic involves the mystery. Here’s hoping for more razzle dazzle in book 3.
