About this listen
Forty. Single. And about to become Accidentally Magical....
Up until 24 hours ago, my life was the definition of basic. And that’s okay, because I was happy with my simple existence; co-running the Lustrous Bean, a bookstore café near the beach with my best friend, Willa.
But when a small mix-up has my entire world going topsy-turvy, I’m realizing that nothing in life is ever as simple as it seems.
Now, it turns out that my best friend is a Fae princess on the run, my cat is a British tyrant, and my dog has the vocabulary of a three-year-old. Yes, vocabulary.
Add in a pair of Fae henchmen and a wickedly handsome coven leader, and I’m starting to think I drank a bad bottle of wine.
So how does a regular girl become the center of a magical world? You’re about to find out....
Gone with the Witches is the first book in the brand new series: Accidentally Magical at Midlife? from author Melinda Chase.
Melinda loves writing tales that prove life - romance - and "happily-ever-afters" - do exist beyond your 20s! Her books feature snarky, hilarious heroines and their wild adventures of mid-life self-discovery filled with mystery and romance.

Story
Living back at Mom's place with her and Gram is not how this ex-district attorney intended to start the next chapter of her life, but I shouldn't be surprised it's where I ended up. You see, my family is cursed. Literally. At least that's what both Gram and Mom claim. I've never given much thought to their ridiculous superstitions, but when three local patrons from my mom's occult shop end up dead, even I'm a bit unnerved. So I decide to dive right into the crazy headfirst. And what I thought would be the end of my journey...may only be the beginning.

Story
"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

Story
After finding my soon-to-be ex-husband together with my soon-to-be ex-assistant, I realize his "for better or for worse" didn't include my 40s. An extended vacation on a remote Italian island sounds like the perfect antidote to a midlife crisis - until I arrive. I'm expecting Chianti and pasta. What I get is a run-down bed-and-breakfast with the oldest Nonna in existence. There's something about this island. Something odd. Like how everyone keeps calling me Mamma or how I'm the first tourist in decades.

For my forty-fifth birthday, I planned to treat myself to a spa day with my bestie. But instead, my late husband's insurance broker drops by to let me know that not only am I still widowed but my husband's insurance policies are being paid to his other wife-and his other family. The next thing I know, I'm being romanced by an Indiana Jones wannabe who arrives like a dervish to sweep me off my feet. One thing leads to another, but before anything happens, Indy goes missing, the place is trashed, and I've got myself a glowing snake tattoo that seems to be talking to me about magic.

Sparrow “Ro” Meadowcroft is about to get the promotion she’s always dreamed of–curator of the museum where she works. She loves old things and the history that surrounds them, so when a patron leaves some items to the museum, Ro is eager to dig in. The sword in the stone that comes with those items is clearly a joke. A well-made but obvious replica meant to be a conversation starter. Why anyone would think that belonged in the museum is beyond her, but she can’t resist taking a crack at it and finding out if she’s the chosen one. And as it turns out...she is.

Four months of wallowing in embarrassed depression should be enough. I’m beginning to realize that no one is who they seem to be, and my life story might be spinning out of my control. It’s time to take a shower, put on a bra, and wear something other than sweatpants. Difficult, but doable. With my friends - real and imaginary - by my side, I need to edit my life before the elusive darkness comes for all of us.

I knew hot flashes were supposed to be hot, but I didn't expect flames. One day I'm in anger management, normalizing the cordial hate between me and my husband. The next, we're divorced, and he has taken both our house and the business we built together. I'm 40 years old and living above our empty restaurant, plotting my next move. And then the world around starts lighting up - literally catching on fire. I'm starting to think my defining characteristic may not be my snark or my cupcake-baking prowess, but spontaneous combustion.

What a wild bizarre start to this series. I have so many questions! The pets are hilarious. I have no idea where this is going, but I'm going along for the ride. Looking forward to more. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job bringing it to life.

Gone with the witches
If you like magic and friendship. You will enjoy this book. It is about two friends and how strong of a relationship they have with each other. It has a lot of humor in it. I can’t wait to read the next one.

Not bad but glad it was free
Characters age would be more believable as late twenties or early thirties at most, but overall, enjoyable.
The narrator didn't have much range as far as different voices, but she announced each character when she spoke in their voice, so transitions were not confusing. You might think that announcement would be annoying, but it wasn't at all once I realized, and paid more attention to the shifts between characters.
This was a very 'light read'. It was only @ 3 hours by as an audio book. If the next book is longer, I will assume there will be more 'meat-on-the-bone', and buy it, although that's not a guarantee it will be something wonderful. The book was formulaic, but the premise was good; two 40 something single women running a bookshop together who then run into magical events. I just didn't believe these two woman were in their 40's. With imagination and ignoring the references to their ages being in their 40's, I thought early 30's at best, and I continued on enjoying the story. There wasn't any swearing or unnecessary, soft porn sex, which is a plus! Overall, a light, happy read.

Witches and Fae oh my
I loved this story! I received an audible copy in exchange for my honest review. I found myself wanting to stay up late to finish it - I didn't want to get out of my car.
These characters, wow. I love Cally and Willa and their friendship. it was really tested in this book.
I can't wait to see if anything happens between Shafe and Cally - fingers are crossed, lol.
There was a lot of action and adventure throughout the story.
The plot thickened during one scene, where a new character was introduced. he truly gave me the creeps!
I can't wait to read (and/or listen to) book 2! The narrator did a phenomenal job! I love the voice and life she gave to the animals!

I love it!
Great characters, good story line, fantasy aspects, a budding romance. I can't wait to read the next one.
First time I've listened to this author and will definitely again.
The narrator does a great job bringing the characters to life with different voices, I've listened to stories from her before.

Callie, mistaken for Willa, was kidnapped before Willa's birthday party started. This book was ok, it doesn't make me want to continue the series. It never fully captured my attention.
