My Midlife Magic Daze

De: Jennifer L. Hart

How does a woman know who to trust when she can’t remember who she is?

My name is Emma. That was the name I was given on the first day I remember. The forty years before that remain secret. My only clue to life before the Pages & Potions bookshop is the scar from a botched C-section. It is probably better that my past remains a mystery.

Still, I crave answers. Who hurt me? Are people searching for me? What happened to the baby I was carrying? And why can I see the ghost of the customer who died last week?

My Midlife Magic Daze is the first book in the Pages & Potions paranormal women’s fiction series. If you enjoy spellbinding tales of love, mystery, and books featuring characters over forty, you don’t want to miss USA Today bestselling author Jennifer L. Hart’s unforgettable tale.

Fun, Action-Packed and Intriguing!

Emma has no memory. Found wandering in the dark with severe injuries, she’s taken in by two feisty elderly ladies who run the quirkiest little bookshop, Pages & Potions. Emma wants to remember her past… probably. But is she more afraid of what she might uncover or the persistent, chatty dead folks (aka tag-a-longs) who seem to think she’s their personal problem-solver? And let’s not forget the house itself—because when your home whispers sweet nothings in a ridiculously attractive voice, things get really complicated. One thing’s for sure—mystery waits for no one, and Emma is fresh out of places to hide.

The author, Jennifer L. Hart, masterfully transports her audience into the story with authentic dialogue, quirky characters, mystery, romance, and a touch of magic! Her detailed descriptions and rich character development add depth, making the two elderly shop owners feel like the epitome of beloved aunts. While the story maintains a lighthearted tone, she weaves in a darker depth that is both intriguing and captivating. The dialogue feels natural, and Emma’s internal struggles enhance the narrative’s flow and plot twists. The mystery is easy to follow—while the smaller one finds resolution; the larger mystery remains tantalizingly unresolved… for now.

Meghan Kelly, the narrator, masterfully captures the essence of each character, bringing them to life with remarkable precision. Her ability to convey emotions and reactions is both vivid and seamless, fully immersing the listener in the story. Her intonations effortlessly reflect the nuances of each scene, enhancing the narrative without overshadowing it. It is evident that she is a highly skilled and consummate professional. Each character is distinctly voiced and perfectly suited to their role, showcasing her exceptional range and talent. Ms. Kelly’s performance is both captivating and polished, embodying the highest standards of the industry.

This is a delightful book to hear as it has mystery, unique characters, romance, and a great team! I thoroughly enjoyed this listen and look forward to more.

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.

Only one word PERFECT!

Emma … her past a mystery, her scars pointing to tragedy, loss and undoubtedly … betrayal. She’s found safety, acceptance, understanding and friendship with Rue and Hattie Bramblewick, proprietresses of the Pages & Potions Bookshop in Mist Glenn. That is until the ghost of Jody Haversham, local podcaster and bookshop patron, begs her to find out who … did … him … in! Holy WOW, this series starter, this story: “My Midlife Magic Daze” has it ALL! The plot is filled with “twisty turney” mystery, yet so clearly and cleverly drawn that following is not only throughly enjoyable, but effortless! I was completely immersed, drawn so deeply into the world created by our author that I had no desire to leave! Her characters, so uniquely different, so well crafted, and spanning the full spectrum of “likability” , making it easy to form opinions on them! With some those opinions stuck, and like all great stories, with some those opinions wavered as their true selves were revealed during the course of the story! Of course, I can’t give details, that would spoil some stunning surprises, one or three of which left me positively slack jawed! Fear not, EVERYTHING makes perfect sense, the writing is just so good, so clever, that I didn’t see THEM coming, which in a perfect mystery is as it should be … and this story was just that … PERFECT! Another perfect aspect … the narration. It does not get any better than THIS performance! Every single character … uniquely voiced … every vocal selection perfectly fitting the characters personality! Emotionally on point and perfect throughout! The passion … perfect! Subtle when called for, strident when called for, perfectly setting the mood! You can feel the pain, the relief, the fear, the passion and the rage! Everything the characters are feeling, you can FEEL! It all comes through … keeping the listener in the moment, at one with the characters, at one with the story exactly as the author intended and it is MAGIC! The perfect collaboration of writing and performance … Five stunning stars of perfection! I loved this story and I can’t wait for more in this series!
