Magical Midlife Invasion [Dramatized Adaptation]

Leveling Up [Dramatized Adaptation] #3

by K.F. Breene, Karen Novack (Narrator), Danny Gavigan (Narrator)

Jessie is well on her way to learning her new life and settling in. The tough alpha, Austin, has joined her team, and she has painstakingly learned to fly. At the moment, life couldn’t get any better.

But it can get a whole lot…more irritating.

Her parents have decided to visit. They don’t know anything about magic, about Jessie’s new digs, or about the crazy crew living in and around Jessie’s house. She must do everything in her power to keep the truth away from them.

Which would be much easier without the unfelt presence lurking within Ivy House’s borders. It seems an enemy has figured out a way to magically bypass Ivy House’s defenses. Jessie is completely exposed.

The real battle, however, won’t be with the incoming force. It will be between Mr. Tom and Jessie’s mom, each intent on being the most helpful. Mr. Tom might have met his match, and he is not pleased.

Just when things were finally settling down, Jessie is in the thick of it again, and this time, the turmoil is all around her.

Rereading already, because the next book is coming out soon and there are two new GA audiobooks I haven't listened to.
This series is so funny and entertaining. I love it.
In this one the parents come to visit the Ivy House crew. And there is another attack to take Jacinta.

[Tempera Hanes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely hilarious! This series is addictively good read.

[Souporn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Still going strong with this series. The only down is the blue balls we’re getting from the main protagonist. I guess we won’t get a real romance til the end.

[Katherine · Rating 4 out of 5]

I mean, it’s just great. These graphic audiobooks are immersive, funny, exciting, and cozy. I love every character in this wacky world.

[Juanita Draime · Rating 5 out of 5]

Magical Midlife Invasion was an absolute blast, and this reread through the GraphicAudio version made it even better. I already loved this book, but hearing it performed with a full cast and sound effects added so much extra life and momentum to the story. It made the action feel bigger, the humor hit harder, and the emotional moments stand out even more.

This series continues to be one of the most entertaining things I read, and this installment really reminded me why. Jessie is such a fun character to follow, and I love the mix of magic, mayhem, heart, and humor that K.F. Breene brings to every book. Everything feels fast-paced and immersive, and the GraphicAudio adaptation made the whole experience feel even more vivid.

At this point, rereading these books in audio format feels like the best kind of return to a favorite world. Magical Midlife Invasion was terrific the first time, and the GraphicAudio version made it shine all over again. Easy 5 stars.

⭐3 - it was okay

I was not listening as well as I should have.

The push and pull between Austen and Jacinta got annoying in this one. Also I do not know what happened to her parents? Did that get resolved off page? Or did GraphicAudio just not include that part?

I just love this whole series. But if they don't get together soon I'm gonna jump into the book and smack them.

[Gils · Rating 4 out of 5]

The hijinks continue! I am getting a little annoyed at the will they won’t they. But these books are still a really fun ride!

[Melissa Llado · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cute series!

[Laci · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series is so freaking funny. I love it. The menagerie of characters is a nonstop, hysterical mix of chaos, and I can't wait to find out what happens next.

[Kat · Rating 4 out of 5]

Basic Plot: Jess is growing into her powers and growing her team, but that's not easy to do when one's completely mundane parents come for a visit.

I continue to love how much I relate to Jess as a character. Her mundane parents crack me up entirely, as does her relationship with them. Their idiosyncrasies are entirely normal, believable, and hilarious. Most of us have stories about our parents and how odd they can be. And even in middle age, we try to please them, caving to their oddities.

Jess's relationship with Austin is probably the most frustrating part of the book. Normal people who decide they aren't going to have a romantic relationship don't go on dates, don't take naps together, or get as touchy-feely with each other as these two do. It's a super-artificial barrier, and it's annoying. It doesn't have any ring of verisimilitude at all.

Otherwise, the pacing is good, the action is fun, and the story moves along. The humor and tension balance well, and the voices are perfect. They make the book even funnier. I loved every minute.

[Karla · Rating 4 out of 5]

I had a lot of fun with this book too, I don't usually like the graphic audio, but I think this one is well done. I enjoyed the fact that her parents were involved, but at this point in the series its starting to feel like the Graves mage guy isn't even important. Like he's barely doing anything. I'm also not trying to blend it with the next book which I already started because that one begins with an argument over the really obvious connections the entire group have with each other and their emotions.

[JuniorCocoa · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good characters and interesting but it seems to be taking the path that similar books have. Now strictly library for source, I think.

[Jessica Knight · Rating 3 out of 5]

Although this book didn’t hit as good as the first 2, I am thoroughly enjoying this series. It’s fun and quirky and funny with lots of dramatics and magical elements

[Sierra · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute, but not amazing. Linda voted through some. But still enjoying the series. Her parents we quite annoying IMO
