Story
With the darkness on the horizon, I need to clear my name and get to work. Forming a Goodness Army is on the top of the list. Shockingly, my army consists of my wacky-tabacky-smoking aunt, my high school counselor who can shift into a house cat, the town gossip who turns invisible after downing five beers, and a few fabulous others with nefarious talents. And of course, a cast of fictional characters...who I created and definitely have an opinion on how I should proceed.

Story
Thirty-nine was a fantastic year. I was married to the man I loved. I had a body that worked without creaking. My grandma, who raised me, was still healthy, and life was pretty damned good. But as they say, all good things come to an end. One year later, I’m a widow. My joints are starting to ache. Gram is in the nursing home, and dead people think my home is some kind of supernatural bed-and-breakfast. Gluing body parts onto semi-transparent people has become a side job - deceased people I’m not even sure are actually there.

Story
Vampyres don't exist. They absolutely do not exist. At least I didn't think they did 'til I tried to quit smoking and ended up Undead. Who in the hell did I screw over in a former life that my getting healthy equates with dead? Now I'm a Vampyre. Yes, we exist whether we want to or not. However, I have to admit, the perks aren't bad. My girls no longer jiggle, my ass is higher than a kite, and the latest Prada keeps finding its way to my wardrobe.

Stormy Morgan left her hometown of Shadow Hills, Michigan, with one goal: To write the great American novel and strike it rich. Now, without a book contract, she’s back at her family restaurant in a one-stoplight town...and she’s convinced things couldn’t possibly get worse. That feeling only lasts until her first shift, when on a trip to the storage building behind the restaurant, she literally trips over a body. Stormy is a woman - or maybe a witch - lost in a sea of magic and despair...but murder might just lead her out of it.

So, I won’t be having that second date, but in all fairness, he got what he deserved. My only regret is that I may have put a target on me and my kid. I’ll fix it, that’s what moms do.

After finding my soon-to-be ex-husband together with my soon-to-be ex-assistant, I realize his "for better or for worse" didn't include my 40s. An extended vacation on a remote Italian island sounds like the perfect antidote to a midlife crisis - until I arrive. I'm expecting Chianti and pasta. What I get is a run-down bed-and-breakfast with the oldest Nonna in existence. There's something about this island. Something odd. Like how everyone keeps calling me Mamma or how I'm the first tourist in decades.

Publisher's Summary
Midlife is full of surprises. Not all of them are working for me.
At 42, I’ve had my share of ups and downs. Relatively normal, except when the definition of normal changes...drastically.
New York Times best-selling romance author: Check
Amazing besties: Check
Lovely home: Check
Pet cat named Thick Stella who wants to kill me: Check
Wacky-tabacky-dealing aunt: Check
Cheating husband banging the weather girl on our kitchen table: Check
Nasty divorce: Oh, yes
Characters from my novels coming to life: Umm...yes
Crazy: Possibly
Four months of wallowing in embarrassed depression should be enough. I’m beginning to realize that no one is who they seem to be, and my life story might be spinning out of my control. It’s time to take a shower, put on a bra, and wear something other than sweatpants. Difficult, but doable.
With my friends - real and imaginary - by my side, I need to edit my life before the elusive darkness comes for all of us.
The plot is no longer fiction. It’s my reality, and I’m writing a happy-ever-after no matter what. I just have to find the write hook.

The first half of a book😡
This was my first time listening to something by Ms. Peterman and the first time exploring Women’s Paranormal Romance Fiction. Not my usual genre, but I did enjoy the experience and laughed out loud a couple of times. I’ll listen to the second half of the book then move on to some other author. I enjoyed the kooky characters but a little bit goes a long way so it got a little tedious after a while. I had fun counting the wise sayings (cliches) from different cultures of the US, brought out and shined up and mostly used in the right context. But again, an ounce of chocolate hits you where you need it, a pound just hits you.
Be warned this is the first half of a book not the first book of a series. I think I’ll send a little voovoo juju towards the yeeha that made that decision. If I didn’t have Kindle Unlimited I would have been madder than a wet ……….

Decent story but a little annoying
The vernacular was annoying and redundant. The story itself is a great concept, but seemed a little under developed. The way the characters spoke and the vernacular just annoyed me. The performance seemed New England and didn’t match the supposed southern setting. Overall, it was an ok listen being part of my audible subscription, but not something I’d pay for.
It could have been much better

Cliffhanger
First off I enjoyed the narrator as there were a couple of reviews saying they did not enjoy her.
I myself found her easy to listen too as she does many great voices for different characters.
the story how ever I found I enjoyed as sadly most of us have at some point had an ex who has cheated on us so I found myself rooting for the main character to win in the divorce.
there are some funny parts throughout the book also although this book is a little different to the authors usual style.
warning though this book just ends as they say on a cliffhanger.
I myself was a little disappointed how it just stopped.
I will be now going to purchase the second book.

Truly brilliant and an absolute crack up. I was caught laughing out loud throughout the book. Club Woowoo is priceless.
The new found strength the lead and her new but old flame! The drop kick ex that just won’t get a clue! Amazing and addictive characters and writing. Can’t wait to read the next book or catch the audio. Love it
