Midlife Witch Unexpected

A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel

De: Melle Amade

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Middle-aged and starting over is the last thing I ever wanted on my bucket list. But since my husband announced he was gay and my daughter left for college, I don’t really have a choice.

If I’m going to get my "Happily Ever After" I have to start making new choices, starting with picking guys who like women rather than women’s makeup would be a good start. Next! I’m way past the point of caring what other people think. I’m 49, about to turn 50 and I’m pretty sure I’m entering the prime years of my life. It’s time to make my mark and do things the way I want to do them.

Like move.

I am sooooooo leaving the city that has sucked me dry with the commute and the executive position. There’s no way I’m doing that anymore. I have enough money from the divorce to buy a house, almost any house, outside of California. I take one suitcase and my jeep, and I leave town, not stopping until I get to Cougar Creek, which is so small I think it’s barely a town, but I’m all about it.

This is where I will get my fresh start.

I inherited my Aunt’s home here years ago and never even visited, but the renters just moved out and I might as well make it my home. For now.

But Cougar Creek has a lot more in store for me than I ever imagined. There is a load of eligible young men from the local ranches, a couple of new BFFs in similar situations, and a strange invitation to a local secret society who think I’m the new high priestess of their local coven. I didn’t stop laughing until I realized they wouldn't take “no” for an answer. They have a massive problem in the cemetery and they expect me to solve it.

But I didn’t trade in one life of rules for another one, so if they want me to be high priestess, they’re going to have to accept that I make the rules.

Unknown powers and family history

Book was interesting, suspenseful, and was easy to follow. It didn’t really have an “ ending” so most likely sequels. Left hanging on how the main characters friendships or love interest would develop.

virtual voice is awful

I have tried several virtual voice books and I've come to one conclusion, they are all awful. Inflection is off, timing is off and pronunciation is off. These things do not help this convoluted story. I'm stopping half way through. Please let whoever's in charge of virtual voice know the proper way to pronounce the name Joachim.

Just eh.

The AI voice is off putting. It is extremely monotone which pulls all interest in the story flat. There are several instances where it uses the wrong word. Think it needed to say "extraction" but instead uses a similar sounding word but with a wildly different meaning. Very basic story line and moves to fast into MC wanting her RI. Really can't tell if the writing is truly that lack luster or if the AI voice is really just that soul sucking.

Nothing really happened.

The story was pretty average. The narration put me to sleep. Made it even less interesting.
