Magical Midlife Madness (Dramatized Adaptation)

Leveling Up, Book 1

By: K.F. Breene

Narrated by: Emlyn McFarland, Tia Shearer, Marni Penning, full cast, Troy Allan, Karen Novack, Kay Eluvian, David Cui Cui, RJ Bayley, Danny Gavigan, Bradley Foster Smith, Cody Roberts

A woman starting over. A new house with an unexpected twist. A cape wearing butler acting as the world's worst life coach.

"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of twenty years packs up and heads for greener pastures and my son leaves for college, that's exactly what my life becomes.

Do-over.

This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at forty I'm ready to carve my own path.

Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills. I'll be taking care of a centuries old house that called to me when I was a kid. It's just temporary, I tell myself. It'll just be for a while.

That is, until I learn what the house really is, something I never could've imagined.

Thankfully forty isn't too old to start an adventure, because that's exactly what I do. A very dangerous adventure that will change my life forever. I have a chance to start again, and this time, I make the rules.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

Why is the dramatized version shorter than the original?

I’ll say this was entertaining and so funny. The music was a bit campy/ silly at times, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. But why would the dramatized version be almost 2 hours shorter than the original audiobook?

Cast has some big shoes to fill vs Nicole Poole and really did well

This series had me hooked at the first sentence. I've listened all of them so far and had to listen to the full cast adaptation. They really did do a great job and there's not background noise taking over the story. Although it really is nee-yev, not neeve. I do hope they do them all

Pleasantly Surprised

I love this series. I have all the Audio books, and now look forward to getting all the Graphic Audio Books. If I could critique on anything it would be Regards voice is more creepy, and Nicole Poole does an amazing job with all the characters, but especially Edgar and Nieve. I'm looking forward to seeing how each character progresses. K.F. Breene is an amazing author.😃

Funny and engaging

I loved this book! The performances were stellar and the story was engaging. The lead character was quite hilarious, too!

laugh out loud funnt

such a great cast that brought this hilarious book together. I couldn't stop listening, even hiding at work just to listen!

SO FAR SO GOOD!!

I'm extremely exhausted with the 5 hr books that cost almost 20$ realizing I will have to buy like what 6? I love the male narrator BONES had me hooked. I will go to evey book he's in and check it out. really enjoy where the story is heading I keep head slapping over the fact that she repeatedly brings up her age and how she's so comfortable with it yet romantically she acts like a high schooler. There are definitely parts thus far that have had me cracking up like embarrassingly having to take a break because of the characters that are supporting our main Jane

Excellent dramatized book

love the different actors. funny. irreverent. they seem to have really gotten into their individual characters, even the central non-actor narrator has a great way about her performance.

I'm very impressed!

my opinion only lifts higher with each subsequent chapter book of this "levelling up" series.

Graphic Audio

Graphic audio is very entertaining, and truly a movie in my mind. Modern day radio theater with extremely talented voices!

great series

I love this series. I own the "normal" versions and as soon as the dramatized versions came out I used my audible credits to purchase them.

Really great fun!

I have read all the Leveling Up series books to date. I have listened to the audio books as well. I loved them all. Now, this Graphic Audiobook is just the icing on the cake. It is so well done, and the cast is spectacular! I loved every minute of it! My son came in, close to the beginning, and stayed to listen to the entire book with me.
