Publisher's summary

A rogue. A witch. An unlikely alliance.

In the shadowy world of vampires, I find myself torn between two powerful forces. As my enigmatic mentor prepares me for a deadly dance at the vampire ball, the irresistible allure of our charismatic leader's advances threatens to consume me. But dark forces conspire against our vampire clans, harboring one sinister aim: our total annihilation.

The high priestess denies the coven's involvement with the nefarious rebels, but when my dormant powers surge to life, she demands my return and enrages Rene. With a merciless killer on the loose and me grappling to maintain my magical composure, a fateful incident places me in the crosshairs of destiny. As the sinister claws of betrayal tighten their grip, I'm left with an agonizing choice.

Will I embrace the monstrous legacy that claimed me, or will I return to the coven that turned its back on me?

Find out what prowls the shadows of Black Blossom County by listening to Forty Shades of Dead, the new Paranormal Women's Fiction series readers are comparing to Shannon Mayer, K.F. Breene, and Victoria Danann.

The Plot Thickens

Gleeful Goblin Review: This story continues unraveling the conspiracy that's been building up behind the scenes around the Blood Witch prophecy. Thematically it feels more and more like the Chicagoland Vampires series (which I love) in that a newly turned but powerful female vampire is turning the head of an ancient male vampire in power who had been losing interest in and touch with the world around him. But in this series there's a sharper focus on taking out our FMC before she can realize her potential or know what's in store for her. There are some elements that come to light here and reveal bits of the conspiracy but most of all we get to know all the characters better. The story ends on a small cliffhanger which is always hard when you don't immediately have the next section available in the same format BUT I'm certainly eager for the next audiobook! 5/5 Stars.

intriguing

Picking up where the previous book left off, we jump right back into the action that is considered Raven's life. It is filled with twists and turn along with danger and suspense. It continues to be an incredibly intriguing read that held my attention captive. I am very excited to read the continuation of the series.

Raven

This is book 3 in this quirky and humorous story. It is a fun read. There is political intrigue when a witch turns into a vampire and retains her magical abilities. Actually, those abilities grow and develop more. There is a prophecy of a Blood Witch, which many are afraid of coming true. The lead Vampire and has lost all interest in life before Raven arrived. She has breathed new life into him and extended his reign, which some dislike. Politics play a large part in all of their lives. This is another great story by the author. I have enjoyed Raven’s story as things are revealed. The narration is excellent. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Great addition to the series

You definitely kneed to have read or listen to
the two books before this one to make sense
of what is going on and to know the characters.
There’s drama betrayals action suspense a hint
of heat and a romance that is building between the
two main characters.
It finish up on a cliffhanger
The narrator was easy to listen to and did a great
job of bringing all characters alive.

A Delightfully Dark and Magical Midlife Adventure

The intriguing and amusing Paranormal Women's Fiction book "Forty Shades of Dead" by Tia Didmon chronicles the journey of a midlife witch as she faces the difficulties of age, magic, and the paranormal. This audiobook, which is the third book in the Magical Midlife Death series, is masterfully narrated and perfectly captures the essence of the characters with a wonderful balance of heart, comedy, and sass. The narrative has many surprising turns and twists, and Didmon writes in an engrossing style.
The protagonist is a likable and charming figure because of her realistic battles with menopause, self-discovery, and her newly discovered abilities. The plot is made more complex and endearing by the equally outstanding supporting cast. "Forty Shades of Dead" is a narrative that blends comedy, heart, and a hint of evil, and is highly recommended for fans of magical realism and paranormal women's fiction.

Another great installment with a great narrator

This series keeps you in the edge of your seat, with side characters that could have their own books and main characters that simmer with chemistry. I loved how the narrator brought all the characters to life. Warning you will be wanting to have the next book on hand because you will want to know what happens next!.
