Sweatpants and Spells

Midlife Magic in Marshmallow Series, Book 1

By: Keira Blackwood

Narrated by: Traci Odom

I knew hot flashes were supposed to be hot, but I didn't expect flames.

One day I'm in anger management, normalizing the cordial hate between me and my husband.

The next, we're divorced, and he has taken both our house and the business we built together. I'm 40 years old and living above our empty restaurant, plotting my next move.

And then the world around starts lighting up - literally catching on fire. I'm starting to think my defining characteristic may not be my snark or my cupcake-baking prowess, but spontaneous combustion.

I'm done suppressing my anger. I'm done playing by other people's rules. Ready to take the reins on my destiny, I'm making the choices I used to be too afraid to make. Like my favorite cast iron skillet, women get better with age. And at 40, I know exactly who I am and what I want.

I'll embrace the fire and the fury. This is my life, and I'm in control.

suspend your disbelief

Come on, 40vyear Olds do mot leave a marriage without their clothes, shoes, jackets/coats, linens and furniture. Even kids just starting out have clothes, shoes, coats and linen.

rest if it was ok.

Thoroughly enjoyed this first in a new series

I thoroughly enjoyed this first in a new series. Keira Blackwood has written an excellent first installment in her new series. The characters are well developed and soon seem more like friends than mere characters. Traci Odom, as always gave a stellar performance. I highly recommend this book/audiobook to cozy mystery fans.
