Throwing Shade: A Humorous Paranormal Women's Fiction - Paperback

by Deborah Wilde (Author)

Middle-aged. Divorced. Hormonally imbalanced. Then she got magic. Underestimate her. That'll be fun.

Miriam Feldman is ditching her shapewear and finally letting her magic fly free.

When Miri was a teen, her parents were murdered by magic assassins. These days, her aggressively normal job as a law librarian suits her just fine. Normal keeps her daughter safe. Normal means no one notices the dangerous power she's spent years pretending she doesn't have.

That ends when her ride-or-die best friend vanishes after tangling with vampires.

To get her back, Miri unleashes the rare shadow magic she's kept buried for decades. It's intoxicatingly empowering-and impossible to ignore.

Plunged into a hidden supernatural world where not knowing the rules is a fast-track to a painful end, Miri's audacity is both her greatest weapon and her biggest risk. She enlists help the only way she can: by blackmailing a grumpy French wolf shifter into her rescue mission. He has the infuriating habit of disagreeing with her every move... and a baffling drive to protect her, even though she doesn't need it.

Then there's their chemistry. Sharp, undeniable, and very much not on her To-Do list.

As threats multiply and secrets unravel, Miri discovers that magic doesn't just change the rules-it changes her. But will claiming this second act cost her the people she loves... or finally give her the life she thought she'd missed her chance at?

Readers of K.F. Breene's Leveling Up series and Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books (but with magic!) will love the Magic After Midlife series for its smart older heroine with zero effs left to give, laugh-out-loud banter, clever mysteries, and a swoony shifter romance.
