When I discovered Magical Midlife Madness, I had no idea it was the beginning to a series. I thought it was a standalone novel about a woman in her 40s whose husband had left her and magical highjinx ensued.
While I was definitely right about the second part, I was delighted to find that it was an entire series centered on Jacinta - our 40yo newly single and newly magical woman.
The characters are fun. The romance is so perfect for 40. And I love where the story is going. Can't wait to see what happens next.

So Much Fun!
I can’t get enough of Jacinta’s adventures through the world of magic. She navigates her new life as the Ivy House heir with witty sarcasm, great empathy, and hilarious pep talks. Edgar, Niamh, and Mr. Tom continue to try to guide her in their crazy ways. And they get some back up from several gargoyles that respond to Jacinta’s summons. Last, but definitely not least, the dynamics with Austin Steele are taken up a notch. He is swoon worthy! Jessie is way more strong willed than me. I don’t know why she keeps holding out though. K.F. Breene continues to deliver great characters and stories. Cannot wait for book 3- Magical Midlife Invasion!

Great follow up
Another fun adventure for Jessie and the crazy crew of Ivy House. Learning to be magical has its pitfalls, and learning to date post-forty has equally as many. A healthy dose of education on each front in this story. Breene has found the balance between entertaining and teaching. A great read.
