About this listen

"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. I'll be taking care of a centuries-old house that called to me when I was a kid. It's just temporary, I tell myself. It'll just be for a little while.

That is, until I learn what the house really is: something I never would've thought possible.

As my new life begins, a couple of things become immediately clear: Forty isn't too old for adventure. Not by half. It is too old to take crap from anyone, however, or care what people think.

I had no idea how incredibly freeing that could be. Or how dangerous this new life would become.

I have a chance to start again, and this time, I make the rules.

Honestly - if you happen across a word you're unfamiliar with, you could,,, I don't know... look it up ousing one of the many online prounication guides.that are available these days.

For example "draughts" is not pronouned "drorts" it's pronounced "draafts".

{sigh} You'd think someone involved in the recording process would point this sort of thing out to the narrator.... but apparently not.

The story's not bad, although the whole muscles-as-hard-as-rocks writing style is tediously overblown.

Let down by narrator

I'm already a fan of K. F. Breene's books and her writing style. Her stories tick every box for me; intelligent writing style that's easy to read, main characters with depth of personality that I can connect to and believe in, depth of character in the supporting cast, believable background story and setting and a balanced mix of relationship, tension, action, humour and mystery. As a menopausal woman, I love that this series will have an older protagonist and supporting characters.

I've listened to audiobooks narrated by Nicole Poole before and loved her performance - Magical Midlife Madness was no exception. I loved the pace at which she read the book and how she poured in the relevant emotion for the different scenes. There is a strong core cast of characters in this story, Nicole's performance brought each of them to life, showcasing their personalities while giving them each suitably different voices when reading the dialogue.

Due to the graphic nature of some of the more violent scenes, I would recommend this book to adults who aren't offended by this sort of thing. But if you enjoy a sort of second coming-of-age for older, independent, capable heroines and strong alpha heroes, with a generous helping of banter, humour and realistic issues for the over 40s within a paranormal adventure, then this book may be your next favourite read. It's certainly left me wanting to read the next book - Magical Midlife Dating - and check out the other books available in the Paranormal Women's Fiction (PWF) genre.

I Loved This Story - It Ticked Every Box!

I really like this story and the performer..... but please please please pronounce Niamh correctly. Every time it's mangled and it drags me out of the story.

And Niamh is mentioned a lot.

But for this....5 stars.

Story is great, performance is great...mostly

Absolutely loved this book. Even sat down in the living room, tv off so I could find out how it ends. So lovely to have a book that focuses on us slightly older ladies that still want to live in the world of fantasy 🥰 Well done K F Breene, time to listen to your whole catalogue xx

Loved it

My first audio book, took me a few mins to get used to listerning and not reading. It was a great book but the narrator made it for me, with diffrent voices for each character it was super easy to sit back , close my eyes and enjiy the story. Think audio is the way for me now , cant belive how much i enjoydd it.

Great narrater

I really couldn't help myself from agreeing with the main character and laughing at the weird and funny. Also: I wholeheartedly agree with the room of "nope-things" (no spoilers), terrifying.

Funny and exciting

I laughed out loud at this, the middle aged comments were spot on, although maybe not for a 40 year old.... It was a refreshing take on urban fantasy & a great introduction to this series that I listened to within a day. Now on to the next, whilst the tiling of the bathroom continues.

Refreshing & funny
