I love this series!
Flash Point is the fourth book in the Midlife in Aura Cove series by Blair Bryan. This author is new to me in my new favorite genre, Paranormal Women's Fiction. As a woman with a considerable amount of life experience, (WHO ARE YOU CALLING OLD??), I appreciate novels like Flash Point, where the female protagonist is not some 20-something ingenue. I love the idea that the flipside of hot flashes, weight gain, and empty nests might be a new-found magical ability! Such is the case in Flash Point and the Midlife in 8 Cove series. The heroine, Kate Beaumont, discovers that her hot flashes are a signal of her awakening of magical superpowers. And from there, the adventures begin!
Flash Point is full of amazing characters. There is Arlo, Katie's rescue dog, and only man in her life, who talks. Her best friend Frankie, whose sassy mouth and uncouth sexual inuendos, make her a perfect counterpart to sugary sweet Kate. Only a truly creative and gloriously funny writer could come up with Frankie's love interest, Harrison (Harry) Willey! I laughed until I couldn't breathe when Harry and Frankie first met! Blair Bryan redefined the meaning of "cute meet" with that scene. I especially enjoyed Katie's ball-busting lawyer, Davina. Why is it when male sharky divorce lawyers pin their opponentsto the wall, they are shrewd but when women nail them they are bitches and shrews? Blair Bryan threw away the mold when she created Davina. We need more Davina's in our lives! Let's not forget the two other members of Kate's magical family triad, her great-great grandmother Zoya, and her grandma Yuli. The two matriachs are so well-developed I could swear I heard their Ukrainian accented English and saw their picturesque manner of dress in whatever scene they showed up.
Blair Bryan reminds us all that Karma is a batch, in this non-stop, magical adventure full of laugh out loud moments of creative revenge against misogynistic men. There are also some heartwarming scenes where Blair's words paint a picture of family and the beauty of Mom's love. Like a Hallmark Christmas movie ,I cried at the love Kate had for her kids. Blair Bryan, in her Mid-life in Aura Cove, made me believe that life after 50 can be truly magical! I am so enraptured with this series, I pre-ordered books 5 and 6 before I even started Flash Point!

More than three women with magical powers, Katie, Yuli, and Zoya offer readers all kinds of wisdom and insights about life! In this fourth book of the Midlife in Aura Cove series, readers are quickly engrossed in Katie's latest mission to help Roxanne Sullivan, a veteran working at Adapt4Heroes Foundation. As the story progresses, one cannot help but support the real heroes of the story! I'm already looking forward to the next book in the series!

They just get better and better!
This one was well researched on the impacts of war, women in the military, wounded soldiers and pure greed and selfishness. I love the increasing bond between the main female characters, the growth of Katie’s family and friends. Looking forward to the next installment!
