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...… (meer)

Somebody is reanimating corpses at the Chens' funeral parlor. Luckily, the reanimation only lasts a few minutes at a time. Esther, Lucky, and Max's investigation leads them to Detective Quinn, Lopez's new partner. Quinn seems like a perfectly ordinary cop but he is always around when a corpse starts walking around.

After another big fight, Esther and Lopez break up for good (again). But will their break up last this time? ( )

Esther and Max have not even left Chinatown following their last adventure in The Misfortune Cookie, before they get a call from John Chen asking them to come to the family's funeral home. It seems that one of their "customers" decided to take a short walk right out of his coffin. John knew just who to call. Esther seems to always be around when things like this happen. But in this case so does Lopez's (Esther's sometimes boyfriend) partner, Detective Quinn. Could the policeman be inadvertently raising the dead?

This series is so much fun. Esther is one of my all time favorite urban fantasy heroines. She has no special powers but is always getting tangled in some sort of magical/demonic situation. And for an normal person she holds her own pretty well. I love Max and his adorable, but enormous, familar Nelli. And the Not Love story between Esther and Lopez take an ominous turn in this book. Hopefully they will blissfully not dating again in the next book. As always, I'm also hoping to see more of John the hunky Asian undertaker. As always, can't wait for the next book. ( )

When it came to examining a corpse, I was prepared to lend moral support but not to lend a hand.
I remembered belatedly that we had taken Quinn hostage and discussed sneaking him out of here in a coffin. So it wouldn't be a good idea to encourage Lopez to probe into our behavior tonight.
