Throwing Shade (Magic After Midlife, #1)

By Deborah Wilde

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that angry women get shit done.

Miriam Feldman’s law librarian job involves dull texts she’s not allowed to brain alphahole lawyers with, yet it has excellent medical insurance and won’t get her daughter killed.

But when a drink with a “good guy” finds Miri fighting for her life, she unleashes the rare and powerful shadow magic she’s kept hidden. It’s heady, liberating—and totally dangerous.

Best to return to her aggressively normal existence.

Except… Miri’s bestie, her ride or die, gets tangled up with some vampires and goes missing. Now in a race against time to save her friend, this single mom is ditching her shapewear, letting her magic fly free, and descending into the spiderweb of the secret supernatural community where not knowing the rules is a fast-track to a painful end.

Her guide? A grumpy French wolf shifter with a particular set of skills, a drive to keep people safe that rivals Miri’s own, and the infuriating habit of disagreeing with her on every single last thing.

He may mock her To-Do lists, but he’s learned firsthand that her magic shadow packs a hell of a punch.

The tricky thing about shadows, though, is the past casts a long one and if Miri isn’t careful, she’ll lose everyone she loves.

Featuring a slow burn shifter romance and a smart older heroine, this clever mix of urban fantasy and mystery will take you on a wild ride.
