Magical Midlife Madness

Leveling Up

By: K.F. Breene

Narrated by: Nicole Poole

"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.

This book is a TEN star listen!

If you are looking for laugh out loud fun and snarky one liners, all tied into a well thought out storyline; then this one is for you! Seriously this one is a keeper and you will find yourself listening to it several times for that magical escape from mid-life's realities.

queen Breene is the best

great story. narrator spoke a bit too fast and the Irish accent was a tad too heavy at times but overall really great

I could be Jucinda!

I am a little older than the main character, Jucinda, but for some odd reason I found her very relatable. I believe there are many women who have either experienced a major turning point in their life or will do so eventually. When that happens we make decisions that chart a new course for our lives. That is what happens with Jucinda. I love how she revisits a town she encountered in her youth and discovers the oddest "people" with whom she manages to befriend in a short period of time. The story unfolds at a good pace complete with wit, humor, magic and a little bit of possibility (hey...this is a K.F. Breene book...one can imagine can't they?) Who knows what hides in the shadows? I won't give you the answer to that question. But, if you take the time to listen to the book, you will experience Jucinda's unusual journey and will probably enjoy the ride!

narrator read too fast

turned down narration to 8 and book was much more enjoyable. looking forward to next book

Narrator brings story alive

First off, Nicole Poole is a fantastic narrator. She really brings the emotions and characters alive.

Secondly, story was wonderfully fun and interesting coming from an older main character then the normal 20 something. I liked how she embraces certain aspects of herself but like everyone has a few things she’d like to adjust. Her “friends” are a fun lot plus We got a touch of a love interest and I’m excited to see where the series goes.

Another exceptional story by K.F.Breene!

I loved the story and even though it's about magic and the paranormal it so relatable!
K.F.Breene you outdid yourself again! Cannon wait for the next book!

Awesome book!

I loved this book. The characters are great and each one is so different. I found myself laughing quite a bit.

Fantastic!

I loved this it was exactly what I needed! The main character was more relatable than others I’ve read. Also, I loved how the book fought societal norms. Overall really good book full of humor and strength!

magical midlife madness

KF Breene has out done herself. I love the humor in her stories, and this on is hilarious! I wasn't too sure about the whole midlife thing, but she nailed it! Nicole Poole as usual did a great job narrating, she's one of my favorites.

Nice escape

Okay the narrator on this was awesome. I truly enjoyed her performance. The story is good for a quick, fun, weekend escape.
