Just when you thought it was safe to go back to sipping merlot... surprise! The Backside of Forty uncorked a peaceful wine-tasting weekend only to be poured into a multi-car pileup in a blizzard. So much for a relaxing girlfriends' getaway...

Before you can say "cabernet", Fiona, Violet, and Aislinn stumble upon a corpse buried in the snow, and it's buzzing with that unmistakable eau de supernatural. Turns out, the scenic village is more crime scene than picture postcard, with ritualistic killings that make ordinary weekend plans look downright boring.

The local mundie police think they can actually handle this mess, but spoiler alert: they can't. It's up to the coven, armed with trusty magic (and a bottle opener or two), to locate the killer before any more bodies -- supernatural or otherwise -- pile up.

That will be easier said than done one a dark-magic-loving shifter decides to kidnap Aislinn and hide her away deep in the forest. The battle to save her just might push these magical midlife mamas over the edge, nearly wrecking their favorite boots in the process.

Once they're out of the woods (literally), a new discovery leaves the girls aghast, and as the last of the snow settles, the real battle is just beginning. And in this magical world, survival is never the finish line. It's just the signal for the next round of chaos to start. Cheers to that, right?

Whispers of the Magical Forest is part of Trim's Midlife Witchery series featuring Fiona, Violet, and Aislinn, aka The Backside of Forty. In this book the trio plans a little wine-tasting getaway but as is known to happen, they find themselves pulled into a paranormal mystery. It seems that someone has been working at tearing down the barrier between worlds to allow the First Ones through. The ultimate goal would be to alter the structure of magic and become more powerful. Of course these brave women throw themselves into the chaos to not only solve the mystery but also stop the guilty party. Unfortunately they didn't quite know what they were in for and when one of them gets abducted, they may have to call in some support.

There was a lot going on in this book and provided several hours of entertainment. These women are so much fun. They behave like sisters, and regularly stir up trouble. I enjoyed every minute of it. I love how they behave together, how supportive they are, and of course that they are all over 40 and still living every minute to the max. They are fierce and fabulous and their dialogue is fantastic.

I had the pleasure of listening to the narration performed by Naomi Rose-Mock. She did a wonderful job bringing to life all three characters, along with many others. I was impressed by her ability to shift between accents and tones to uniquely represent each character. Rose-Mock elevated my listening experience of a fun and fabulous book.

While I missed many of the earlier books in the series, I hope to find the time to go back and read them as they are a real treat.

The Backside of Forty still has it!

A story full of adventure and action. There is enough snark to battle the potential darker sides of the story. If you like an easy story without it being boring this is it. Narration was good, pleasant voice. Recommend listening to the books in order but you can follow the story if you haven’t.

Fun adventure

A good fun listen. Well narrated easy listen. Loved the banter between the characters. I hadn’t read any of the other books in this series and don’t feel I needed to but do plan Togo back and read from beginning.

I received a copy of this audiobook via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Fun listen
