Publisher's summary

Divorce comes as a relief when you discover your husband is a walking cliché and having an affair with a woman half your age. When life gives you lemons...give yourself a magical makeover!

One day, I'm married, living in the triangle, and working as a head nurse at one of the country's best hospitals. The next, I've shed a 175 pounds of idiot and find myself encountering ghosts, dragons, and pixies while taking care of a sick patient.

Losing my sanity didn't seem like the worst thing to happen since I moved back home with my mom and nana. But I have to make the best of this mess for the sake of my children. And I refuse to give my ex the satisfaction of knowing he literally drove me crazy.

I didn't mind rolling with the punches.... I just never imagined those hits would come in the form of magic. Witches, shifters, and fae don't exist, right?

This new world I've discovered is dangerous. The Tainted want to kill me, innocent paranormals want my help, and the son of Hades needs me to find demons.

Give me an Ibuprofen, and watch out. I'm not about to stand by and let someone else ruin my life. I'm a middle-aged woman on a brand-new mission, and nothing's going to stop me.

So much potential!

After reading the outline of the book, i was quite anxious to start the series! BUT then i heard the narrator. Unfortunately she made it EXTREMELY hard to listen to. Very monotone, boring and unpleasant to hear. Sadly, i won’t be listening to the rest of the series.

Unlikable protagonist

I found myself rolling my eyes multiple times throughout this book. I’m assuming the author is a very young woman or a man, because she’s leaning way too hard on cliches and nasty middle age jokes she’s clearly heard second hand.
The main character regularly TELLS us about her scientific mind but we rarely see it in action. She constantly complains about her children and even considers having a stranger “scare them straight” even though in the text both children appear perfectly well behaved, respectful, and compassionate.
And don’t get me started on her nursing experience. I genuinely wonder if the author has ever even met a nurse in her life. No woman and no nurse needs to be told why an elderly dying woman insists on using the actual bathroom while she’s able, rather than the bedpans.

The narrator Regan Brown was fantastic. I will definitely listen to her again.

Hard to listen to

I don’t enjoy this narrator at all. She sounds like she’s reading out loud instead of telling a story—two different things entirely.

I have read the other series of Fiona which I really like. This one is slow starting but I like.

The voices for the characters is throwing me off. Aidonius (sorry if that's spelled wrong) why is his voice so slow? It makes him sound dimwitted. And because I read the Fiona series first where he has a quick voice that has an Australian accent it is really weird. But even without the accent the slow speech rate is just really irritating.

The story is just starting and so far not as impressive as the Fiona story series but I'm willing to keep going

Horrible narrator

The story line is good. But what ruins this book is the narrator. Very monotone, and to fast. The narrator seemed forced and rushed. I will not be buying any more of these books because of the narration of this book.

Magical Beginnings

Magical Makeover is a action packed book filled with magic, shapeshifters, pixies and more. The storyline is very detailed and easy to follow. The characters are fun and a little quirky. This is my honest unbiased review that I am voluntarily leaving of my own volition.

Read too slow

I liked the characters and plot. The narrator sounded like she was bored with the story or about to fall asleep.

Slow start solid finish

The beginning was a little slow paced compared to the rest of the story but it was still enjoyable entertainment
