Publisher's Summary

Whoever said life begins at 40 must have been heavily medicated, drunk, or delusional.

Thirty-nine was a fantastic year. I was married to the man I loved. I had a body that worked without creaking. My grandma, who raised me, was still healthy, and life was pretty damned good.

But as they say, all good things come to an end. I’d honestly love to know who “they” are and rip them a new one.

One year later, I’m a widow. My joints are starting to ache. Gram is in the nursing home, and dead people think my home is some kind of supernatural bed-and-breakfast. Gluing body parts onto semi-transparent people has become a side job - deceased people I’m not even sure are actually there. I think they need my help, but since I don’t speak dead, we’re having a few issues.

To add to the heap of trouble, there’s a new dangerously smokin’ hot lawyer at the firm who won’t stop giving me the eye. My BFF is thrilled with her new frozen face, thanks to her plastic surgeon, her alimony check, and the miracle of Botox. And then there’s the little conundrum that I’m becoming way too attached to my ghostly squatters.... Like Cher, I’d like to turn back time. Now.

No can do.

Whatever. I have wine, good friends, and an industrial sized box of superglue. What could possibly go wrong?

Everything, apparently.

All in all, it’s shaping up to be a wonderful midlife crisis....

Brilliant!

I wasn’t sure anything could top the last series…. But this is definitely worth the listen. Captivating, hilarious, and left wanting more!

Couldn't stop listening!

So I started listening to audiobooks to help me get to sleep. That worked on most books, but this series had me hitting the 30 mins more button way too often I listened in the car at every chance too! I found the PWF authors through Facebook and adore the idea of the magic awakening not in some young thing, but in a mature woman who has seen some stuff. Robyns world she has created is no disappointment! I love all of the characters (some certainly took some warming up too!!) I have listened up to book 6 now and am missing my new "friends" until next time. The narrators' style did take a little getting used to for me, but once I did I loved her. She caught the enthusiasm of the characters beautifully.

Ridiculously fun!

I enjoyed the hell out of this book! It's a fun and unique storyline. The narration is great, some slightly stilted bits but WELL and truly made up.for by how well she brings the characters to life.

It’s a wonderful midlife crisis.

This book is a departure from the norm and I have enjoyed it immensely. Narration by Jessica Almasy was passionate and emotion filled, even managing to bring a tear to my eye. I like the ballsy-ness of the main character and have liked watching her character blossom. I’m looking forward to the next book.

Cozy paranormal excellence.

This was unexpectedly delightful. The narration is so much fun, it is filled with such joy and expression. Perfect for those who love cozy mysteries, the paranormal and appreciate a lively, engaging narrator.
