Polterheist
ByPublisher Description
In the days leading up to Christmas, struggling actress Esther Diamond is working as a singing-and-dancing elf at Fenster & Co, a major Manhattan department store. As if dealing with hordes of holiday shoppers isn't bad enough, Esther's ex-almost-boyfriend, Detective Connor Lopez, is on the scene investigating a series of mob-related truck hijackings of Fenster's merchandise. Semi-retired hitman Lucky Battistuzzi is also nosing around, since the mob resents being implicated in thefts they didn't commit. But when supernatural mishaps occur, Esther realizes this is more than the usual holiday insanity—it's time to call in her friend Max, Manhattan's resident mage.
Esther and Max discover that Fenster's has become the staging ground for the rebirth of an ancient demon that's plotting to escape its mystical prison on the winter solstice. As dimensional barriers crumble, can Esther rescue her fellow elves, save her city from demonic disaster, and collect her paycheck in time to make rent?
Polterheist is the thrilling fifth installment of the Esther Diamond series.

“Laura Resnick has dragged me along and fooled me again.
Polterheist brings back some of the previous characters from the past books. In a department store known for its holiday displays and Christmas villages Esther has picked up some work to get her through the Holiday season. She is a Hanukkah elf and a few of her friends as ethnic Santa's.
This year is different as the staff seems to be disappearing into no where and the mob is being blames for some of the delivery trucks going missing. Esther, Max and Lucky are on the case though trying to figure out what is a miss at the story as it seems to be haunted.
This is a mostly fun story. Detective Lopez is also on the scene due to the mob angle and of course when he and Esther are together they just can't keep their hands off each other. Still it would be nice if there was some less wishy washy movement on that romance aspect or on Lopez cluing into the paranormal world. I mean eventually even Skully figured it out.
The story is what I expected and the situational comedy was fun. Esther's meeting with Lopez's parents was all the chaos I would expect it to be.
I'm almost done with the kick back and enjoy the show ride I'm on. Only a few more books are out and I'm not committed to reading the 7th as there isn't an 8th yet, and doesn't really seem like there will be at this point. Also at this point Esther and Lopez either need to get together or really call it quits.”
