Publisher's summary

Winner of six awards!

He went from detective to wizard in a flash. Can he master his magic in time to thwart armageddon?

Eddie Berman wants his old job back. Ever since the detective rushed into a bust without backup, he's been wasting his talents in Central Park. But after investigating a bloody murder causes him to accidentally touch a powerful stick, he's summoned to a new calling by a magical, disembodied head.

Entrusted with a staff from the Garden of Eden itself, Eddie learns that wizards are real, and the apocalypse is coming. With his old job and a trip to Aruba looking farther and farther away, the detective must learn magic, uncover a rogue sorcerer, and confront something called "the great evil" before New York becomes a literal nightmare.

Can Eddie protect and serve an impossible world, or will his first day on a new beat be his last?

The Wizards of Central Park West is the first book in a series of urban fantasy novels and the winner of a 2018 National Indie Excellence Award. If you like heroic journeys, magical world building, and tongue-in-cheek humor, then you'll love Arjay Lewis' fantastical new vision of New York City.

Too cliché for my tasts

voice acting was not great. The story was predictable. The characters were not bad, but they did stupid things for the sake of following the plot. I would not recommend.

Looses Points for racists terms

From one Black woman, know that racists terms are NOT terms of affection. Or cool in anyway.
I'd rather my kids speak the slang her kids did than to EVER speak the words that wide calls her husband. Just because you don't know how much that hurts other people, doesn't negate the fact that terms like that are racist, hurtful, and offensive.
If that was not in this story, I would think it is a really fun and excellent story. But everytime I hear her say those words I cringe...a lot!

Upon reaching chapter 51, I find this book unjustifiable racist and ridiculous. I'm only disappointed that it took me this long to realize just how offensive this book is.
