Midlife Magic and Mates #1
Midlife Renewal
Magic. Mayhem. A hot alpha that rocks her world. Not bad for a woman in her forties.
A muffin top, grayer hair, and a failing business. Molly’s forty-third birthday was proving to be as anticlimactic as middle age threatened.
Then, a mysterious grimoire and lots of vodka force Molly to reinvent her life.
Strange occurrences begin to shake up the sleepy town of Ashpoint, and Molly is thrust into a world that defies the wildest imagination. A world that includes witches, warlocks, vampires, and shifters.
It’s a good thing that she has some help. And it’s an even better thing that the assistance comes in the form of a hot-as-sin alpha shifter named Ryker.
However, her primal attraction to Ryker brings a whole new set of problems—shifters and witches are sworn enemies.
With her life being spun upside down and sideways, she searches for the light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately for Molly, the tunnel is much longer than she thought.
* Midlife Renewal is book one in the Midlife Magic and Mates series, and ends on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+.

I don't know why I finished this. Morbid curiosity? But it was really bad.
It is hard to say what the biggest flaw was, so I'm just going to share a couple that, imo, were boat anchors on what could have been a cute idea.
1 - The characters all have the intelligence and emotional maturity of a bucket of dried paint.
And this is supposed to be a paranormal women's fiction book, so that's a hard fail. There's so much whining, and stupidity, that I couldn't stand it. There's also hugely inconsistent leaps around, in terms of character choices, and about 3748502 times more angst than is justified.
This point leads directly to...
2 - They are horribly, horribly TSTL. All of them.
So, they find out magic is real, and they have it. Random assholes insist that they are trained. They don't ask for explanations, or anything. These are 40-something women who within like 24 hours of meeting the woman demanding they be trained, are meekly doing what they are told with no questions. They meet the high priestess who is a complete, cartoon-ish bitch... and still no questions, they do as they are told. They are inducted into a coven within a couple weeks, tops (see point 3 below), without being told what that means, what they are committing to, even really getting to know the coven. Then they are informed that they are now basically slaves and have to hurt people, because high bitch says so, with some growly "I own you now" -style speech. Do they ask questions? Stand up for themselves? No. They just do it.
3 - There is no firm indication of timeline, but as best I can tell, this entire book happens in 3-4 weeks (prior to the last chapter).
Sometimes it felt like we were maybe jumping ahead in time - most definitely when Molly and Ryker first hook up in the garage... The next chapter seemed like a jump ahead to their relationship being way further along. But then Molly says something about her timeline to being evicted, and no, apparently it has been, at most, a couple days? So these people went from "we can never be together" to "omg I think I love you" to "we need to never see each other again, for your own good" in like a week. Fucking exhausting, high school level angst. The coven/training timeline was very much the same.
It all led to melodramatic, confusing, and far TSTL storytelling. I'm definitely bowing out here.

This is book one of the Midlife Magic and Mates series and the main characters are best friends Molly, Ali, Missy and Steph, who get together for Molly’s forty third birthday. One of them has received an ancient grimoire, delivered to her when she was expecting something completely different. She brings it to the party and they decide to look through it and get each other to try saying a spell for fun. Molly is feeling her middle age spread, with a muffin top ad greying hairs, plus a business, a gym called Pump and Juice, which is in a rented building which is falling apart and not as busy as she hoped. It was what she put all her money and efforts into, after getting divorced some ten years ago. One of the women plies her with vodka, as the others also drink and they decide to place candles all around, to get the mood set correctly. When Steph starts to talk in rhymes and other strange things begin to happen around Molly, the group soon learn that magic is real and they are all part of a dangerous and ancient prophecy, which no one will tell them about.
Only Ali is still married, but the others think she should have kicked her cheating husband to the curb long ago, as well as the quack of a therapist she believes every strange word of! Molly has had a bit of a dry spell in the romance stakes, but avoids talking to the attractive gym user, Ryker Davis, finding herself all overcome and running away out of embarrassment. She starts to find when she asks people something, they seem forced to answer truthfully, even shocking themselves sometimes, as they say things they never wanted to say out loud! The arrival of an ancient looking and bent over old woman, Essie, a witch, soon has all four of them being tested for their magic and having to undergo intensive magic and fighting training. She learns that the man she has been so attracted to, is the wolf shifter alpha of all magical beings in Ashpoint. With them suddenly finding out they are witches, although two of them still have no powers, they also find out about the fact that shifters and witches are sworn enemies!
Essie as Ryker tasked with helping the women prepared their bodies for the prophecy and the enemies they will face in the near future. He has members of his pack sparring with each of the women, bringing discord within the pack, as he gets so close to the witches. For Ryker, his attraction and need to be with Molly is easy, as he realises she is his fated mate. As alpha, he has to fulfil some old and dated restrictions before he can inherit his grandfather’s whole estate and he makes a deal with Molly, helping her out with her gym when she is desperate, whilst her participation in his life helps him even more. But those who dislike Ryker’s interaction with the witches, soon bring danger to all of their lives, but mainly targeted at Molly and Ryker, with one of them wanting his position as alpha, but too scared to face off against him themselves! The women soon get pulled in by the High Priestess of the witch’s coven, Greta, but her demands on them don’t seem like what their magic should really be used for. Once she forces them to be inducted into the coven, they soon find out that what she wants from them is darker than any of them expected and she insists they do everything she asks of them, without question.
They are new to magic, but even they know something is wrong with this life! Molly’s connection with Ryker brings another huge shock to the tale and makes her act in a certain manner, mainly because of previous heartache and the fact she thinks he will never want her due to that, and he needs something she can’t provide him with, to fulfil his family legacy as alphas. The book ends with a surprising twist, that brings shock to Molly and should have made Ryker happy, but she is advised to not tell him anything. The four women have suddenly come into their powers and magic, at a time of great danger and prophecy. Their lives are never going to be the same and they have a lot more surprises to come. I look forward to reading the next book in the series and seeing what happens between the witches and shifters. I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.

Midlife Crisis Anyone?
What a great start to a new series! I am totally hooked and can’t wait to read the next book. Molly is turning 43, divorced, and her business is in a slump. She is not in the mood to celebrate another birthday, but her three best friends have other ideas. She begrudgingly agrees to go to her birthday party at her friend Ali’s house, with Stephanie and Missy. Ali received an old book in the mail and they think it would be fun to do a spell! Molly recognizes it as a Grimoire book full of spells. She is reluctant to mess with magic, even if she doesn’t believe in it. But her friends egg her on and she agrees. She repeats the renewal spell and nothing happens, or so she thinks! The next morning she looks in the mirror and doesn’t recognize herself. She looks at least 10 years younger and is full of energy. Then other weird things start happening to all four of the friends. Thus starts their journey into the unknown world of magic and other things that they never knew existed.
The characters in this book really grab you and you will fall in love with them. This is not a stand alone book. Book two starts up where book one ends so you have to keep reading to find out what happens next.

MIDLIFE RENEWAL is the first installment in the Midlife Magic and Mates series by Vera River and my introduction to this author. I found captivating and sometimes funny characters wrapped in plot that drew me in till the end and wanting more. Warning, this ends in a cliffhanger.
Molly is celebrating her forty-third birthday with her three closest friends. Ali found an old spell book at a thrift store and after a few celebratory drinks the ladies decide to try a spell from the book. That was the beginning of an adventure that just didn't seem possible. It's not long before they find out that shifters and witches are real and the four of them are part of a Prophecy. As they train to use their powers, they are invited to join the local coven. The ladies are learning to fight, both physically and magically. Molly's trainer is the drop dead gorgeous Ryker. The more time they spend together, the hotter they get. Then Greta visits Molly and things begin to look not so great with the coven.
I can't wait for Midlife Magic to see what happens next.

Molly and Ryker . . .
Molly’s forty-third birthday is on its way, sigh. Her friends, Ali, Stephanie, and Missy, convince her to come over for a party. Ali had received a book that Molly recognizes as a grimoire and they want to try a magic spell. Molly does not believe in that stuff, but she goes along with it. And after trying the renewal spell, nothing happened… probably?
Strangely, the next morning her face looks 10 years younger! She even feels better! When odd things happen to her friends also, they are about to become aware of all the things they never knew existed. Meeting Ryker Davis, an alpha shifter, will help them get through this new awakening without questioning their sanity. But aren’t witches and shifters enemies? (And I take back the part about questioning their sanity – her parents who move into her place will have her run screaming from the room in about 2 minutes flat! Wait until YOU meet them!)
This is a fun story with great characters and lots of laughs. Grab your copy and see how things go with Ryker and the paranormal introduction for the ladies.

Molly owns a gym where Ryker comes to work out. Both are attracted to each other, but Molly keeps her distance. Building problems make Molly begin to communicate with Ryker as he wants to show her other properties for her gym. It is Molly's birthday, and her friends plan a party for her. Ali, her friend, brings a spell book to the party. They decide to read one. They learn that there is more to their town than they expected. What are they to do when the head of a witch's coven approaches them? What will Molly do when she learns Ryker is involved with the paranormal community?
I enjoyed this story. It sets up the series well. The world building is good. I liked Molly. I also liked Molly's ability after the spell. I wanted to know everything Molly wanted to know. I hated that everyone involved in the paranormal community would not tell Molly and her friends anything about what was happening to them. I drove me as crazy as it did Molly. When everything comes out, I was surprised. It makes me want to know what happens next.
I look forward the reading the rest of the series.

I love this story, I am so pleased to be reading about a heroine in her forties it's such a refreshing change. I'm so glad that midlife ladies are beginning to feature more and being given a chance at finding love as well girls barely out of their teens! The premise of this book is that four friends, all dormant witches with no magical powers, find that after reading an ancient book of spells suddenly find that somehow their hitherto untapped magical powers are released.
This story concentrates on Molly and Ryker, these two are perfect for each other which is good because they are in fact fated mates. As well as their romance, there's also an evil Greta High Priestess intent on causing havoc, will the four newly empowered witches be up to the challenge?
I did not want to put this one down and although the story does end on a cliffhanger it is well worth reading! Bring on the next book!

At first I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but this is a very good story about witches and shifters. Four friends celebrate a birthday with a spell from an old grimore. After that their lives start changing. Molly, Ali, Missy and Steph, each have a different talent and come into them at different times. They share their gifts and their lives with each other. The romance between Molly and Ryker is a slow burn, but it is intense. I thought the characters were wonderful and I loved the story. I would recommend it.

This midlife series is off to a fantastic start. We meet Molly whose turning 43 and finds herself divorced and in a bit of a slump and definitely not in the mood to party. Fast forward, do a spell and Bam! Molly finds herself looking younger and full of energy and then weird things start to happen and not just to her but to her friends also! It’s the start to one hell of an incredible journey into the world of magic, witches and shifters and it’s awesome! It’s a fun and exciting read and I cannot wait to read the next book!

For Molly’s 43rd birthday she and her friends read a spell from an ancient grimoire. The effects are life changing they begin displaying witchy powers. Molly also discovers that Ryker is the alpha of the shapeshifter clan and she is his mate. Oh, and shifters and witches are enemies. I like the characters and storyline, especially Ryker and Essie. My only issue was that I found Molly to be somewhat selfish in her behavior toward Ryker and I got quite frustrated. I received an advance copy of this book and voluntarily left a review.

This is a terrific first book in this series! I will be reading the entire series. Molly and her girls find themselves with new powers that they never knew existed. Molly looks younger than ever. Ryker has been going to her gym but she has stayed away from him because of her strong attraction to him. What she doesn't know is that Ryker is a shifter. She gets help from him in the form of a new gym and a contract marriage. She loves him but won't let herself stay with him because of her infertility but the book ends up with a special surprise.
February 24, 2022
I really enjoyed this story. Like many of the stories coming out the main characters are not young but instead more middle aged and have had quite the history and life lived. But that adds so much fun to this series and to a few jokes. This book introduces 4 friends who end up reciting a spell and finding out that they actually now have magic. But of course nothing is free and issues pop up and trouble occurs. It was entertaining and fun to read. Hard to put down.

This is my first time reading a book by Vera Rivers. I thought I would enjoy Midlife Renewal because I love reading about paranormal romance and the synopsis seemed like it would be an interesting read. I didn’t like the fact that she was in her 40’s and wasn’t mature enough or happy with her life decisions. Then when Molly became 10 years younger was a deal breaker for me. .

Super easy read for spooky witchy season. I love that the characters were older and chosen. It was different than the typical teenagers being chosen. While they were older, the only thing I didnt like was their attitude. Particularly Molly. She acted like a child so it was annoying reading about her tantrums and not being able to communicate with Ryker. Still a good book and will read the next in the series.
February 24, 2022
The first book in the Midlife Magic and Mates series, by a new Author to me. Molly Blair and Ryker's story has suspense, drama, danger, villains, close friends, surprises, and the start of a romance. I want to read the next book. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

When four friends get together to celebrate a birthday and decide to recite a spell they found in an old book, it promotes their magic within. Molly was gifted with the ability to get people to state the truth which has some very funny results. A romance with the Alpha shifter is hopeful but complicated. The female friendship and empowerment mostly makes up the book and is a welcome genre.

Wow! The characters are funny and believable. The friends found out they are witches and are getting themselves on track, when Molly finds out she is pregnant. Whew! Can't wait to start the book in this series. Hope its as good.

This book wasn't entirely bad, just good enough that I read the entire thing. But parts of it were cringe and parts of it were just childish. I guess there was a sec scene in there but it wasn't really anything to speak of.
Oh and it ends on a cliffhanger.

Not sure why this book has good ratings..l the writing is extremely juvenile and the characters are completely emotionally immature. They care about such vapid things. Couldn’t even finish this. Like a bad romance novel with magic involved.

Magical read throughout with a witch and a shifter. Storyline was super fun and I couldn't put down. You can find love when you are older

This was great fun to read. I had a hard time putting it down. I am looking forward to seeing what happens in the next book

Great new series! This is a great read, I really enjoyed it! Four friends discover magic, mystery, a touch of romance. Everything I want in my books! This series is fantastic, I’m hooked!
