Publisher's summary

A paranormal women's fiction novel for anyone who thought adventure and magic stopped at 40. Guess again, it's just the beginning.

I never expected I'd be one of those people who had a midlife crisis. Sure, I'm over 40 and married, but my kids are grown and moved out. Life is steady, if predictably boring.

That all changes when my husband asks for a divorce and my whole world crashes. Everything I thought I knew, everything I am, gone in an instant. But I am not about to give up. After all, at my age, technically, I'm only halfway there.

I am ready to tackle my do-over; my chance to become the me I've always dreamed of. Starting with moving into my late grandma's cottage and adopting a new kitten.

However, my new life is a little odder than expected. Old books suddenly appearing in my house. Neighbors going missing. A supposed lake monster and a strange man who likes to skulk around with an axe.

I'm going to need to lean on my friends, new and old, to help me navigate my midlife crisis. Together maybe we will find a way to beat the family curse ruining my second chance at life.

Contains mature themes.

Nothing happened

Struggled to finish. Over all could sum up the story in two min and really nothing happened!!! All she did was whine about everything. blah!!! The narrator was good but she could not save the book.

Disappointing ending.

After a big build up of expectation that magic would play a role in this character’s development, nothing happens. Hints at a second book but I feel little curiosity for what might happen next.

Interesting twist on familiar story

I really liked the characters and the story idea. I felt the plot was a little weak but I’m still hooked and looking forward to the next book! Nicole Poole delivers a stunning performance as always and truly makes the story worthwhile!

Midlife magic fun

Either Midway or halfway as you choose to look at it...this is a fun listen. Nicole Poole as always is fabulous. The story is a bit slow at the start but then it gets more interesting. Clearly a series. Lots of mysteries to unwrap. I love that adult children come into the story. Also I’m glad to see a character in the story is LGBTQ friendly. Definitely will read/listen to other books in series.

Slow start but worth the listen

I’m so glad I pushed through the start. A good few giggles and enough suspense that I could not stop listening. Nicole Pool did a brilliant job narrating

Intelligent

More intelligent than most books in genre. Also, about more mature adults. Not a rehash plot.

Naomi was dealt a bad hand but she is just to much of a scatter brain for me.

The main character is a nice person who was dealt a lot of crap-tastic things in her life but instead of building her up, she has let it break her down. Her level of anxiety is too much. Also, I have a issue with the flow of the story. There are too many contradictions. For instance at one point Naomi ask’s what happened to the old mill and a character says that it shut down 10 years ago or so. However, later on in the book Naomi who hasn’t been to the town in 20 years says the last time she was at the mill was right after it shut down. If she was there after it shut down and that was 20 years ago, why would she ask someone what happened and they say 10 years ago it shut down. It is a petty thing but there is more than one of those little quirks in the book. The story isn’t bad, it’s very slow in the beginning and gets a little better but all in all there is no real spunk or suspense and it is hard to relate to Naomi when she is so over the top about everything.

Great story

I really liked this story. A little magic, a little mystery and some really good comedy.

Liked it...but

The ending puzzled the heck out of me. Nearly marked it down for that little weirdness. But I liked 99.99% of the story, so...

I liked the narrator.

Will follow with the next book, no doubt.

A Bit Frustrating

if you are looking for a heroine that finds strength to fight against an evil ass**** of a husband, this is not the story for you. I must admit to being frustrated after a few chapters of nothing but a pity party to outdo all pity parties.

On the plus side I found that Nicole Poole did a really good job. Given the subject matter, she made the story easier to listen to.

All in all, I will consider the next book. If everything continues to be a character who only sees the ugly in everything, maybe not.
