FOR ALL THE EVERYDAY HEROINES OVER FORTY WHO KNOW IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR MAGIC!

The day after my forty-third birthday, my husband announced he was trading me in. His words, not mine. The news was unwelcome at the time, but honestly? I needed a good goosing to get up and find my way to the door.

So. I was freed from the manual of expectations authored by my ex that had, over the years, grown into an encyclopedia of what a wife "should" be and do. The freedom was the good news. The flip side was less happy. Due to living in a state not friendly to discarded wives, I was also relieved of the financial 'security' I'd spent a lifetime accruing.

Starting over? I didn't plan on it. Didn't see it coming. But pulling a sheet over my head and waiting for the end didn't seem like my style. Granted. I wasn't sure what my style was because I hadn't thought about freedom of expression since I was twenty.

I'd never been a fan of optimistic adages like 'it's not too late', but that was before my life was divided into two parts; everything that came before the mysterious package and everything after. Fate shot me with a lightning bolt of attitude adjustment and thrust me head first into an adventure that was unforeseeable to say the least. If you'd told me what my life was going to be like, I would have used every synonym for crazy you've ever heard.

I 'inherited' a curious antique store in a tiny, picturesque English village where the world of fae magic lives side by side with the mundane. But that's far from all. Eight times a year, I receive magical dignitaries and magical lowborn alike and mediate their disputes; some comical, some deadly serious.

It may be too late for super shiny hair, going without a bra, or sleeping eight hours without a potty break. But it seems that it's not too late for navigating magical politics, expatriating, romance, and saving the world.

Perfect for fans of K.F. Breene, Shannon Mayer, Elizabeth Hunter, Darynda Jones and Lucia Ashta.

I'm truly loving this new genre and the fact that they are centered around women in the 40s.

Midlife Magic takes you to a place that you wish you could stay for a short time or the rest of your life. It truly came to life in my head.

Wait til you meet Romeo and see those sparkly red shoes you'll definitely not want to put this book down.

One of my favorite books of the year! So much humor in this book. My attention was grabbed right from page one. Loved that Rita named her car. Romeo (the car Alfa Romeo) takes Rita to her destination. I had to laugh out loud when there were sheep in the book. If you are a VD fan, you know that she puts sheep in most of her books. Her books just keep getting better and better! So looking forward to the next book! Please do yourself a favor and start reading! I was enthralled by this book! From a Forever Fan... Pam James.

I should have made that all caps. I should have gone to bed hours ago, but I had to finish the book first. For me, this was like an awesome dream! Calgon take me away! Rita was chosen. Normal, human, forty something, and about to be divorced, Rita was made an offer she could not resist. I wish I was Rita, sigh. Loved everything about this book.

Midlife Magic: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel (Not Too Late Book 1) - Victoria Dannan

First of all I absolutely love this author’s series and was thrilled she was adding her magic touch to the Paranormal Women’s Fiction. This book takes place in the Lake District of England, so we already know there are many magical creatures in these areas where the key lines cross. The author’s world building of this new series is as enthralling as the characters and storyline of this first book in the series.
The book starts out with the divorce of an unsuspecting Rita who’s in her forties. Not the best thing to help an already bruised ego from years of verbal abuse from a low life husband running away with younger models.
Life for Rita takes a 180 degree turn when she inherits a home, antique shops and apparently the title of magistrate in a small English town. It was quite the journey as the world of magical creatures is revealed to her as well as her new title and responsibilities.
The unfolding of this fantastical world and how Rita adjusts to her new life is both charming, entertaining and exciting. This is an amazing start to what promises to be an awesome new series, no matter what age you are.

Slow paced

I felt somewhat confused by this novel. Maybe it was due to Rit's doubts about her fitness to become the magistate of the magical.
The characters were likable but it was almost too easy to sit this book down to do other thing unlike the Black Swan novels. I will probably continue this series and hope my level of enjoyment increases.

Rita is a mom, and a wife, soon to be ex-wife. Hey, at least he let her know he is interested in "gasp" a younger woman, and went on his merry way. What's Rita to do with herself? Take that invite to explore a new world and discover she is more than just a mom and ex-wife of course. Hallow Hill is that secret magical world you always imagined is out there just waiting for you to arrive. And any story with puppies in it is always the kind to make me a happy reader. This is going to be a fun series.

When I’m sorry the book ends and immediately look for the next in the series I know I’ve found a great story. I’ve read this author before but this book got to me in a very different way. It has so much heart. Love that the main character is aware of others in a way that is familiar to me. I found her integration into her new world to be so relatable. The town and world created for this story is about community and I wanted to be a part of it. I have to wait a bit for book #2 to be out and I’m pining for it so I will read this one again!

A few minor details......

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2020

Verified Purchase

Firstly, let me say that i am loving this story. It’s charming, well written, and engaging right from the start. Very funny as well. I always love her books, and really this one is no exception, and what’s more i can’t wait for the next in the series, so how dare i give 3 stars you might ask?

Well, there are a couple of things just really rubbing me the wrong way, and i cannot shut up. SPOILER ALERT - details ahead, read no further, if you don’t want to know.

Ok, the premise is American woman, brink of divorce living in crappy motel, gets mysterious first class ticket to England aka all things English.

She has to go for a dinner given by the solicitor who will tell her all the details of the mystery inheritance. He says we have researched you. So that’s the ONLY reason i forgave THIS particular thing. Which was that the dinner given was apparently the exact favourite dinner she always ordered at her favourite eatery back home. And the thing is Pot Roast and Brown Gravy are not things that I as an English person would ever say. But i forgave this one because if they researched and then recreated her favourite dinner for her. As an English person I’d say Roast beef, lamb, pork, chicken etc, and i would never state the colour of the gravy - it’s just gravy. So that part i let it go.

And then the next thing, well, heroine goes to English pub, with English fellow, and they have English food made by English employees. The dude ordered Broiled Fish. We don’t say broiled in England. What Americans call the broiler - we call that the grill. What Americans call the grill - we refer to it as a barbecue. So i am disappointed by that. And the dessert. It’s not Sticky Pudding, it’s Sticky Toffee Pudding. In another pub dinner, 2 things that are ordered - in a tiny pub in England - a Chowder, well when i lived in England, no pubs served chowder anywhere i lived, and only knew of it from books and TV and thought Clam chowder sounded most disgusting, but it wasn’t available anywhere. And then one more pub dish - Grits? Grits? In a pub? I can see Gordon Ramsey cooking it in his restaurant maybe (Shrimp and Grits) but even now that I live in the North West Pacific, i call it polenta, I cook it often, order it when i go out to eat, and Grits is a southern thing, is it not? I certainly never EVER saw it in ENGLAND, or Ireland where i also lived for a time, other than reading about it in American books.

Yes these are petty small details, which if you take into account that this is a book about the Fae world and magic, and I’m not objecting to any of that in the least, it comes as somewhat of a surprise that i be demanding regarding food detail. I lived in England all my life, cooked lots of food. These are just minor details in a story that I’m otherwise loving, but they matter to me, so I’m sorry. Even if i love the whole book, these foodie details will be what i remember, so can I have bit more food research done, into the difference between English and American terms for food preparation. It would mean a great deal.

Rita Hayworth Comes to England

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

I’ve read/listened to a few of the Fab13 Midlife books and although they all seem to start in a similar way (a woman in her 40’s divorced or separated and starting her life over again), I’m amazed at how each of the Fab13 authors create a totally different adventure. This is no exception and I enjoyed meeting Rita, her talking car and watching her accept the role of magistrate whilst also bringing the town’s people together. There wasn’t really any action in this book, it set the scene and the world building. I did love that this was set in England but there were a few minor issues in the description of food (things we don’t say in England like broiled fish). Overall a very fun read and it will be interesting to see where Rita goes from here!

I bought the ebook and could not put it down. The story unfolds from a first person perspective and while there were a few times where I would have liked more details , it was due to my own morbid sense of curiosity and no fault of the author. I cheered for our heroine, Rita, as she travelled from the first page to the back cover. I am a new fan!
