About this listen

Divorced, desperate, and destitute, former restaurateur Defiance Dayne finds out she has been bequeathed a house by a complete stranger. She is surprised, to say the least, and her curiosity gets the better of her. She leaves her beloved Phoenix and heads to one of the most infamous towns in America: Salem, Massachusetts.

She's only there to find out why a woman she's never met would leave her a house, a veritable castle that has seen better days. The lawyer assigned to the case practically begs her to take it off her hands, mostly because she's scared of it. The inanimate structure that, as far as Dephne can tell, has never hurt a fly.

Though it does come with some baggage. A pesky neighbor who wants her gone. A scruffy cat who's a bit of a jerk. And a handyman bathed in ink who could moonlight as a supermodel for GQ.

She decides to give it three days, and not because of the model. She feels at home in Salem. Safe. But even that comes to a screeching halt when people begin knocking on her door day and night, begging for her help to locate their lost objects.

Come to find out, they think she's a witch. And after a few mysterious mishaps, Dephne is beginning to wonder if they're right.

A few small spoilers so if that’s not your thing skip this review.

The premise - A 45 yo recently divorced woman finds out she has powers. Ok cool you got me, I bought the book, I’m a 50 yo divorced woman who is waiting for her secret powers to emerge. Next - her long lost (she was adopted by two supportive dads) recently deceased Gigi finds a very ingenious way of telling her “before you do anything else you have to put a protective spell on yourself and the fabulous house I left you otherwise ALL The bad things are coming for you.” Now, she has to catch up to,” I have power, what!” “I need to figure out the basics of using these powers,” ok. But the first thing my-self-preservation-ass is doing is protecting me and mine. Nope, not this one. She stops to ask questions that have no relevance to training, to getting this task done. It has relevance to the story, yes! But every time she said I wont do anything to protect myself or those with me until you explain this I seriously thought, you are not my people.

However, the story, outside of that bit of annoyance is really good!!! I love the humor! The supporting characters are great. There is a living house aka granddad, Gigi, best friend, journey man, police chief, married neighbors who live in separate houses on each side of the house, and Salem, MA.

Story is great but I have one tiny nit

I loved the combination of the unremarkable with the paranormal in this book. Defiance is a middle aged down on her luck ordinary woman who is swept into a magical world. She is totally blindsided by the discovery that she has a heritage and a mystical past that will shatter her present. A must read for all magic lovers.

Another Darynda Jones hit!

An entertaining story with a fun cast of characters. Defiance wants to act as a responsible adult, but finds herself in a position to learn—being a responsible adult does not mean you must do everything by herself. It is okay to accept help.

Fun After 40
