Gran used to say that a strong woman looks a challenge in the eye and gives it a wink. To be sure, flirting with challenges is a terrible idea. Ask me how I know.

All Bree really wants is to bury her head in the sand, somewhere in the south of France while a hot pool boy rubs lotion on her back.

Instead, Bree gets blackmailed by the Council of Savannah into a job she doesn’t want—though it does take her to France. They need her to bring a witch back to Savannah for a trial that Bree is sure is a load of hooey.

But not just any witch. The first one. The oldest one. The one who makes a t-rex look like he’s howling about a sore tooth. The one who makes the wicked witch of the west look like your sweet old nanny, the one who . . .well you get the picture.

Bree’s job? Find her. Befriend her. And convince her to come back to Savannah for safekeeping.

But someone else has gotten a head start, and their reasons for tracking down the miserable old witch are far worse than the council's reasons.

None other than a sexy, growly blacksmith with pretty eyes who makes Bree’s panties melt even though she knows he isn’t for her. And he is looking for the same miserable old lady.

Throw in a lovesick siren, and a slew of new problems, and you’ve got Bree’s next adventure busting at the seams. And no, it isn’t because her pants are too small.

I am so frustrated with a series that started so good and that has come from such a great concept about middle-aged women still being bad@$*. Don’t get me wrong Mayer is still a great writer and storyteller but I just haven’t enjoyed the last 3 books and I think I’m done with the series maybe until I know the last book has come out. I feel like this is the MO for this author though that she writes hardship after hardship for her main character (who impossibly stays alive despite being ridiculously stupid over and over again), and there isn’t any resolution or really much advancement across multiple books. Like what is really changed since book 2? She stills makes bad decisions for her friends, she still hasn’t had sex or formed any sort of real relationship with anyone, she hasn’t solved anything or stopped this master plot from happening and seems to keep losing to the bad guys. Maybe she has some new information. Also, I really hate when the move interest of 6 books (!!!) is now out of the picture, like really hate it. Finally, this is supposed to be a book about a middle aged woman being awesome but she can’t say the f word and continues to be celibate? The tone of the story seems juvenile for a book that I wish had more heat and actual used adult words. I know I am clearly in the minority hating this series now but I just feel so frustrated because I like the stories Mayer tells just not how she tells them and I should just learn not to read her books.

I really like this story. Really, I do. But I feel like every story sends me 1 step forward and 2 steps back in trying to figure out what the heck is really going on. SOOOO many characters and convoluted story arcs. The main issue I find now is that books are 9-10 months apart and I forget what the world happened in the previous story and who betrayed who and why.
I want Bree with Crash. I appreciate the prologue because we got a peek behind the curtain and then it all crashed and burned...mostly, sort of. See what I mean? Forward and then back. I'm wishing I had Two to three more years to care about the next 3 or 6 books remaining in this series, but I'm not sure it's worth that investment. Especially with the way this one ends. I've added book 7 to my TBR list, but that may seriously be my last journey with Bree and the gang unless our brilliant author gives me more worth waiting on.
All of that to say the witch hunter installment was a fun, action packed addition to the canon, I just wish it had given me more hope and not the same kind I've had for the first 6 books. Real hope. I actually feel like I've been left more hopeless than ever before. And that's saying something.

Holy Ducking Spit, what a ride!!

This was one more wild ride with Bree and the gang! I absolutely adore her tribe!
Just when you think something is about to change for the better with Bree and her pursuers, of both sides, Mayer just takes the story and spin, flips, whips, and sautées those freaking plans!
Picking up whether Zombie Hunter left off, it's off to the races again... and no time for heartache, or Advil, to kick in! New monsters, globe-trotting and taking one hell of a sketchy route, Bree uses her powers, her ah-mazing leathers & gear (which I desperately want), and her trusty knife help her blaze a path through the unknown. Always to save what she holds dear: friends and her hometown of Savannah.
I love Bree's growth and enlightenment about herself, those she's trusted, and her never-faltering faith in her friends, a few supernaturals, and even those she's just met, just makes my heart all gooey. She's been through the emotional wringer so many times, but that core in her never changes.
I'm totally #TEAMBREE, because the men in her life are fickle beasts, one and all, though they do all love her in their own way. Is Crash still hawt? Absolutely, it's that that morally gray way that gets me. Robert, well to me, he's always been that backup singer. And Corb... he's as wishy-washy as they come, being the biggest HoE of the bunch! Now there's Remy... he seems dreamy, and showed up for it when she needed him most, BUT he's a trickster. Time will tell. He MAY flip me to his side.
And Bree? I'm totally on board with her getting in love with herself: the flaws, and Eric's pastry-loving butt, too.

Ahhh, I don't want to wait for the next installment this fall, but it's going to be one helluva ride! I can't wait!

My thanks to the author for providing me with an ARC of the book. All opinions expressed here are entirely my own. No review expected, and no compensation was received.

I think that this series is perfect for women of a certain age especially as I'm a proud member of that 40 proof and then some age group not to mention the trials and tribulations I've lived through in my life. However, not only can I find the humor in Here's character and empathize with het journey the series is chalked full of many great characters and consistently keeps you entwined in everything going on with all the twists and turns that keep you as the reader on your toes. Instead of being your typical predictable romance novel, she has weaved into the awesome community of a large variety of paranormal's you never know what might pop up next. I read constantly as an escape into an amazing little fantasy world for enjoyment and have since I was quite young. If you like reading paranormal's and you want a boom that will draw you in keeping you glued to what will happen next then Shannon Mayer is the author for you. I also really appreciate that she doesn't feel the need to get so down and dirty so to speak with intense romance scenes constantly. I don't mind some especially if they are relative to the storyline but, sometimes I just don't want to be overwhelmed with constant intense romance narratives which is why in the past I've read series books made for YA readers. She brings it all together perfectly for grown women but, doesn't overwhelm with it. I'm so glad I found her books and I have a whole new set of books and a great author to delve into.

Absolutely love this series!

Midlife witch hunter...Dives right in with a Crash! More specifically, Crash. The guy I was so peed off with in the last book! I loved the direction of this book being told in different view points. Crash starts off by giving a much needed explanation and glimpse into his actions. Then the plot thickens and I am team Crash again! Those that have been on the journey of reading this series will know that you're either Team Robert or Team Crash!
Bree is really starting to evolve and find herself with the help of her friends- especially the ever so insightful Eric. We all need a psychiatrist friend who can bake! Shannon has a real talent in making me envious of not having friends like these in real life!
The weaving of new and old characters, some friend and foe is beautifully crafted. Very much a concept of nothing is black and white but grey. As usual, I laughed, shouted, Cursed and cried. This series truly is brilliant and I dare say the best in the new trend of midlife women stories that have recently popped up. I am desperately wanting more if Bree!

Oh gawd! I. Did. Not. Want. This. Book. To . End 🤷🏼‍♀️
I wholeheartedly agree with all the other 5 star reviews. This series not only gets under your skin, it seeps into your heart and soul. I’m living every moment along with Bree and her fabulous team. I cried with her, laughed with her and was routing for her all the way through the twists, turns, losses and gains this chapter in her journey brought. Shannon, I adore the way your mind works and I adore your writing. I know it’s not realistic, but I don’t want this series to end, ever, love it so much 😁 It’s going to be a looooong wait until August!

Midlife Witch Hunter (Forty Proof #6)

Another excellent addition to this fantastic series.👍

I really liked the new characters, especially Remy. It was fun having it mostly set in Paris, France. There are some big losses for Bree and her crew in this book. as always humour offsets the sad times perfectly. The story is all woven together so intricately it's mind blowing! I honestly don't know how the author keeps everything straight.😳

As always, I highly recommend this series. I look forward to the next addition in the Forty Proof series.😍

The adventure never stops, you barely take a breath before the next drama happens. The action follows on from the last book and it's good to have Crash's story explained at the start. I had to read it in one go as I couldn't put it down. I love the strength of character that Ms Mayer gives to Bree and the way she weaves the friendships with her writing makes it all seem so real. I wish I was there helping.
If this is your first look at this series then back up and start at number one... you'll be glad you did.

I've got mixed feelings after finishing Midlife Witch Hunter. On the one hand I loved it - the usual twists and turns, yay Robert one minute and boo Robert the next, laughing and then nearly sobbing, new character Remy😍😍😍 but now that I've finished it, I've got to wait until August for the next one so I'm a bit bereft now😢😢😢😢
