It has all come down to this.

The battle to save Kingsley's pack, and Austin's place of birth, is upon them. They have their team, they have their supplies, and they have a very nerve-wracking secret weapon that Edgar devised.

They aren't even close to ready.

If they lose this battle, every shifter in the world will be in jeopardy. But to fight means danger they might not all walk away from.

If only the battle was their sole worry.

Austin has come home for the first time in fifteen years. He left the pack in tatters and a great many people haven't forgotten, his family included. He must finally face his past.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

EPIC!!

Ok, so the story takes a long time to get to the battle scene but boy is it worth it! I literally cried happy tears from laughing during the story and sad ones during/after the battle. This was a great book.

It checks all the boxes!

This is my favorite author & series to date. The book series is great but listen to the dramatized audiobook and you get an amazing adventure. The characters & the chosen voice actors could not be better for pure entertainment value...you laugh, you cry, & just enjoy the ride.

Jess & Austin are an amazing couple, swoon worthy. As Jess says "we aren't perfect ...but we're perfect for each other." I love their relationship and their crazy "crew". I have no criticism for this book or it's dramatized audio version. Thank you for the wonderful adventure!

Action Packed Emotional Roller Coaster

I absolutely devoured Magical Midlife Battle. You’d think by book eight of the Leveling Up series I’d be getting bored, but I swear this one just keeps getting better and better. I don’t know how K.F. Breene does it! Magical Midlife Battle had everything I needed….. action, romance, steam, humor, and emotional ups and downs. I could not get enough!

I think what I love most about this series is the quirky cast of characters, especially the Ivy House crew. They are a fantastic found family, but also bat sh*t crazy, in the best way possible. I especially recommend reading these books in graphic audio format. The full cast narration captures the depth of each character and all of the shenanigans to perfection. I can’t count the number of times I laughed out loud or clutched my heart with the feels. I love everyone but my top favorites are Edgar, Mr. Tom, and Nieve. But I do need to take a moment of appreciation for our FMC and MMC. The love and mate bond between Jess and Austin is the stuff dreams are made of. I love seeing a healthy, mature relationship with open communication on page.be prepared to swoon.

This particular installment had so much packed into it. A long term plot point comes to a head while expanding the already rich world building. I laughed, I cried and then healed. If you appreciate second chances at life and love, belly busting humor, magical creatures of all kinds, adventure, suspense, romance, family drama, high stakes, pearl clutching action, brave sacrifice’s, grief and healing give this series a try. I give Magical Midlife Battle 5 gargoyle winged stars.

Obsessed

There is something about these books that makes me feel okay with being different. That I would be Accepted into Jesse’s group even though I am but a reader Of her story. This book feels like hope in the darkness, a place to escape to. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Full Cast audio is outstanding.

This series has been so great and funny! I love the storyline and the characters.
