Magic After Midlife Series by Deborah Wilde

She’s ditching her shapewear, owning her hormones, and letting her magic fly free. Underestimate her. That’ll be fun. It’s official. Miriam Feldman is killing it in the midlife crisis department. She’s mastered boredom, aced invisibility, and graduated Summa Cum Laude in smiling and playing nice in her post-divorce life. But when a drink with a “good guy” goes sideways, Miriam snaps, and in a cold dark rage unleashes a rare and powerful shadow magic... moreShe’s ditching her shapewear, owning her hormones, and letting her magic fly free. Underestimate her. That’ll be fun. It’s official. Miriam Feldman is killing it in the midlife crisis department. She’s mastered boredom, aced invisibility, and graduated Summa Cum Laude in smiling and playing nice in her post-divorce life. But when a drink with a “good guy” goes sideways, Miriam snaps, and in a cold dark rage unleashes a rare and powerful shadow magic. To make matters worse, her best friend goes missing and Miri is thrust into a world of hidden magic, vampires, and a legacy of hatred aimed directly at her. Hard to say which is more dangerous, this spiderweb of supernatural power plays, the grumpy French wolf shifter she’s teamed up with, or Miri herself, kicking butt and rediscovering the woman who got lost along the way. But lines get blurred in the shadows, and if she’s not careful, she could lose everyone she loves. She’ll have to turn her invisibility into strength and pray they never see her coming. Forty isn’t the new twenty. It’s better. less

Miriam Feldman had high hopes for her big date, but a body count wasn’t one of them. It’s up to her and a grumpy French wolf shifter to hunt the possessed man down before anyone gets hurt.

Miriam Feldman’s got a murder to solve, a mouthy golem to corral, and her name to clear. Quite frankly, she’s swamped. My new gig as a fixer for the magic community is a lot like being a full-time mom to someone else’s kids… they get annoying faster but don’t respond to guilt trips... moreMiriam Feldman’s got a murder to solve, a mouthy golem to corral, and her name to clear. Quite frankly, she’s swamped. My new gig as a fixer for the magic community is a lot like being a full-time mom to someone else’s kids… they get annoying faster but don’t respond to guilt trips. And sure, maybe I feel kind of grumpy and stabby about these irritating jobs, but that doesn’t mean I killed my latest client! As far as the magic police are concerned, me and my wolf shifter friend Laurent might as well have “guilty of murder” tattooed on our foreheads. If we lose this fight, it’ll be a one-way trip to Deadman’s Island. Talk about a real buzzkill for our easy banter and deepening chemistry. Even worse, the non-magic cops are also investigating the crime—and my ex-husband is the lead detective. This wasn’t how I meant to pop his cherry about the existence of magic, but the time for foreplay is over. To unmask the real killer, I’ll have to navigate hidden agendas, lies, and the undead. But hey, I’ve faced worse; I used to be on the PTA. Made in the Shade features a sassy, slow burn romance, and is perfect for fans of K. F. Breene, Darynda Jones, and Shannon Mayer. ​​​​​​​.

Failure to reverse it will mean the death of someone close to me, the end of my uneasy alliance with the head vampire, and open season on my family... moreMiriam’s hot flashes leave her shvitzing, and 10PM is the new midnight, but she still craves an adventure, sexytimes, (and maybe a nap. ).

Now armed with my trusty to-do list, I’m determined to multitask my way to victory like a magic badass. Yaas, Queen. A Shade Too Far is perfect for fans of K. F.
