Midlife crisis or magical apocalypse? Can't it be both? Angie Daly thought her biggest problems were keeping her struggling bookstore afloat and surviving her eccentric family. At forty-something, that means supporting her twenty-something twins, ignoring her divorced parents hooking up above her garage, tolerating her husband’s sea-shanty band phase, and propping up her best friend through a bitter divorce. That all feels manageable until Angie wakes in the middle of the night to find two elves, an aggravated fairy, and a gluttonous miniature giant tearing through her refrigerator. The fae in her kitchen claim she is a legendary Warrior, the only one capable of stopping a warlock who feeds on magic and plans to drain the fae world dry. Fairy tales are real. Some of her friends and neighbors are not human. And when Angie’s best friend vanishes, denial stops being an option. It’s high time for Angie to dig deep and discover her inner warrior witch. Because if she fails, she will lose more than her sanity. She will lose her friend, her world, and herself. Midlife magic proves messy and entertaining as Angie’s chaotic family life collides with a hidden fae world in this fast-paced, funny urban fantasy. — Kim Watt, author of Baking Bad and other fantasy series
