If you thought being over 40 meant the end of adventures, then you're in for a shock as Bree and her ragtag bunch take you on a side-splitting roller-coaster ride!

Stuck with Alan's ghost following her around, Bree is in hot water now with no easy way out as she's been framed for his murder and plunked in the local pokey.

If that weren't bad enough, Gran's ghost has been kidnapped, and all clues point to the Big Easy - New Orleans.

With the police on her never-mind-the-size butt, two men vying for her attentions, and a mystery wrapped around the murder of her Gran and ex, she has more than enough to keep her stressed and turning prematurely gray.

So when a local coven stirs things up in NOLA and a new nemesis appears on the scene, Bree is ready to meet them head-on.

As soon as she's popped a few Advil.

Lots of action but not much movement

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2020

There was lots of action going on in this book which kept me glued to the pages. Then at the end I realize that just like the other books we haven’t really gone much further in the story. We have a name for what Bree is but that’s about it and the will they won’t they feels too close to a teen drama more so when you add the fillers for swear words which makes me roll my eyes. The biggest issue I have with this series and the author is that In each book there has been a reference to slavery (from the ghosts Bree sees or the encounters in the demon house etc) and it feels forced and out of context to the storyline. Is the author trying to show allyship? It just comes across as performative and as a POC this feels more insulting than anything else.

This is the fourth book in the forty proof series and I love it!! The characters are well developed. The story is well written and full of action, twists, wicked humor and ends way too soon.
Breena, Crash, Robert, Kink, Alan and the gang are in it deep this time. Breena is a wanted woman and her only hope is to find her grandmothers ghost. The trouble is someone in the magical world wants Breena dead in the worst way. Her friends are willing to help her and will do all that they can but it looks like this time Breena might not make it out alive.
In this book you learn so much more about each of the characters. I am still guessing just who Robert is and how is his past life attached to Breena?
I read this book in one sitting and I kid you not, when I turned the last page looking for the next page I actually said, "No way!" The ending leaves you hanging but in a good way.
I can not wait until the next book in this series comes out. At least I hope there will be another book, I need more books with older women as the main protagonist. Since I am closer to forty than twenty this entire series is just so welcome. Not that books with twenty somethings as the main character are bad, it just gets a little harder to connect with them.
If you love a fast paced book, with a lot of humor, a well written story line, action, twists and turns and really great characters then this one is for you.

I have read all of Shannon's books, and loved them all. However, this series speaks to me, and is by far my favorite. I love how she makes Breena real. She is strong as hell, but has moments of breakdown and self-doubt. I love that she is my age and deals with some of the issues I do, and is hilarious while doing so. The fart scene had me laughing so hard that I cried. I REALLY wish that these would be made into movies! My only complaint is that I wish that they were longer, because the world is over too quickly and the wait to dive back in seems so long! I am in withdrawal!

Shannon did it again. I swear I was dragging the last page over and over trying to get it to flip to the next chapter. All your favorites are back and ready to find Gran. But as usual nothing goes as planned. Bree is up against the clock to save more than just her Gran but the world. Bree has to face the death of her Gran, her parents, and Himself and still push forward to save the day. Dealing with many new supernaturals she's digging deep in this one. Crash is still sexy as ever. And you'll see Robert in a whole new light by the end. You may even squeal a few times...oh and you'll definitely be rolling before the book is over. Trust me. Go pee before you read LOL.

I can't say enough about this book series. Bree is a mature woman who isn't going to let anyone stand in her way and tell her what to do. She's surrounded by a fantastic cast of characters and I can't honestly say who I love more.

This book starts with Bree in jail, picking up where the last book left off with her being arrested. From here the action just keeps going. It's a great story and I so can't wait for the next book.

OMG so I just have to say I have been team Robert all this time but Crash sure pulled out the big guns in this one (okay so he redeemed himself, let’s not get crazy here. And you know, the hotness!). Corb can go suck a lemon, Breena is so done with him. Robert surprised us all there at the end and normally I’d be all kinds of excited, but Crash was crazy nice to Breena this book. Damn Shannon mixing stuff up like that!
So anyway loved the book. We now know what Breena is but that’s all we know. Just a name. She is a little closer to really knowing who her friends are but at the same time knows everyone has divided loyalties. Those that she thinks are on her side aren’t necessarily and vise versa. Things get a bit muddled. We find out who one of the major players is and who he’s controlling and what killed Gran, Alan and Breena’s parents. We just don’t know who’s actually behind it all yet. Breena and the gang head to NOLA to try to find Gran and answers. She gets a little of what she’s looking for. I guess we wait to find out more in the next book. It was a wild and crazy Breena ride yet again and I loved every bit of it.

I truly do not know where Shannon Mayer gets her ideas from, but they are awesome!

Gran has been "ghost-napped', and Bree has to find her. Not easy when she's been framed for murder and is stuck in jail ... Along with her miserable ex, Alan, who is tied to her. Ugh! But things are happening, and her friends have her back. Heading to the Big Easy is the only logical option, so that's where Bree, Corb, Sarge, and Kinkly go. Meeting one of her Gran's coven mates helps immensely... And Bree needs all the help she can get.

I didn't think it could get more exciting, but it has! Cannot wait for the next book!

Ghosts, Voodoo & Romance?👻💀💘😂
Midlife Ghost Hunter (Forty Proof #4)

Bree Is in jail for the murder of Alan, she's 100% innocent of course, but that isn't stopping the police from helping to frame her!!😱 Some of her friends stage a jail break to rescue her from a sham trial & death sentence! On their way to try & find Celia in New Orleans, Bree is drawn, by old memories, to an out of the way place, they find one of Grans old friends!😍 Things aren't going to well when more bad news hits & Corb oversteps with Bree by a country mile!😡 NOLA is feeling pretty dark and she soon discovers awful things about her family's murders, it's all leading to someone really powerful!😳 Bree's friendships & allies become ever more cemented. Can she pull it all out of the bag again? Or is it going to be too much this time?💥😢

Another giggly read but not quite as funny as the other 3. The subject matter was more serious but laughs were had where ever possible.😆 Bree had a few personal breakthroughs during the book along with a couple of really low points, they were really sad & touching!💔 Her love life is 'Complicated' in the extreme.🙈
This was a a great read especially for some wonderfully timed escapism & fun, adult laughs!🌟

Ghost-napping, annoying exes and hot crushes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 12, 2020

The third book in the Forty Proof series finds middle aged magical warrior Bree arrested for murdering her annoying ex husband and stuck with him as ghost.
Thankfully she has friends who can help her clear her name and find the ghost of her gran who has disappeared.
Bree is grumpy, sarcastic, but also fun and willing to do anything for those she loves.
She’s a rose between two hot men crushes but also in a heap of magical trouble.
This is funny, in particular with reference to the things a midlife woman has to deal with, it’s adventurous, sexy and stuffed with a great cast of characters.

Wow! It's getting better and crazier with each book! Real emotional roller coaster! What a revelations! I absolutely loved this book! Bree has so grown from where we first met her. And all her friends who are more a family. A family by choice of heart not blood. Those bonds are much stronger. It got me in tears.
Can't wait for the next installment which I believe is something even I can't predict what's gonna happen next. Surprise me again!
