Midlife Witch Unexpected

A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel

De: Melle Amade

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Middle-aged and starting over is the last thing I ever wanted on my bucket list. But since my husband announced he was gay and my daughter left for college, I don’t really have a choice.

If I’m going to get my "Happily Ever After" I have to start making new choices, starting with picking guys who like women rather than women’s makeup would be a good start. Next! I’m way past the point of caring what other people think. I’m 49, about to turn 50 and I’m pretty sure I’m entering the prime years of my life. It’s time to make my mark and do things the way I want to do them.

Like move.

I am sooooooo leaving the city that has sucked me dry with the commute and the executive position. There’s no way I’m doing that anymore. I have enough money from the divorce to buy a house, almost any house, outside of California. I take one suitcase and my jeep, and I leave town, not stopping until I get to Cougar Creek, which is so small I think it’s barely a town, but I’m all about it.

This is where I will get my fresh start.

I inherited my Aunt’s home here years ago and never even visited, but the renters just moved out and I might as well make it my home. For now.

But Cougar Creek has a lot more in store for me than I ever imagined. There is a load of eligible young men from the local ranches, a couple of new BFFs in similar situations, and a strange invitation to a local secret society who think I’m the new high priestess of their local coven. I didn’t stop laughing until I realized they wouldn't take “no” for an answer. They have a massive problem in the cemetery and they expect me to solve it.

But I didn’t trade in one life of rules for another one, so if they want me to be high priestess, they’re going to have to accept that I make the rules.

Story is fine! Narration being AI is… lol

I ended up needing to increase the narration speed to be able to stick with it. I imagine the story would be better with a narrator whose tone changes even a little. And the “steamy” scenes are kind of hilarious when read by AI. I feel like Audible can afford to support higher quality AI that doesn’t incorrectly pronounce easy words.
Since it’s part of my membership I’m very happy to finish the book, and maybe the series!

Unknown powers and family history

Book was interesting, suspenseful, and was easy to follow. It didn’t really have an “ ending” so most likely sequels. Left hanging on how the main characters friendships or love interest would develop.

Interesting characters.

The story was ok but hard to follow at times due to virtual voice. It does not know proper emotion or timing plus many mispronounced words.
Waiting to see if the story lines develop better in the series. Has potential.

Virtual Voice

The story was ok but I am not a fan of virtual voice. By using virtual voice the story loses emotion and it takes away from the experience. I will not buy anything with virtual voice, I borrowed this one from Audible just to try it.

Virtual Voice FAIL

The Virtual Voice really made it hard to want to follow the story. I will avoid Virtual Voice books from now on.
