Midlife Fairy Hunter by Shannon Mayer
4.0

This time around Breena finds herself keeping watch over a fairy mound. The Hollows group are all acting super weird, so she can't count on them. She quickly finds her own merry band of misfits to help her out. She's strong-willed and even more determined this time around. Especially when she finds out the scheming ex is trying to sell Gran's house right from underneath her. There's plenty going down in the Shadow world without having to deal with "Himself" on top of it. 

"Big girl panties were a bitch to put on some days. But I yanked those proverbial panties up and got to work. Because work was something I could control, something I was actually pretty good at."

Some of the issues I had with the first book ironed themselves out a little. I didn't find Breena's constant moaning and groaning about being old and overweight as annoying. Not to say she still didn't do some of that, but certainly not as much.  Corb is difficult for me as a love interest because he was not very nice to her in book one, constantly berating and demeaning. It's like the kid on the playground picking on you and being told it's only because he likes you. No. I can excuse some of it due to the relationship with her ex that was emotionally abusive but come on, Bree. While Breena is older, there is no need to constantly be bashing younger women, like they have it all. 

Robert the skeleton was my favorite character in the first book, but he has completely been replaced. My new main man is a great baker. It's not his fault he's covered in hair. That's right. I'm talking about Eric the Bigfoot. I love the big ol' hairy guy. Not that he's a love interest, thank goodness. That might be a bit weird. Besides, Crash has that covered. Things are heating up where he is concerned but Corb is still waiting in the wings. This is a sloooow burn, so for those readers who want the goods, sorry you have to wait!

Midlife Fairy Hunter grabs you from the beginning and doesn't let you go. There are magics and mischiefs afoot! With this assembled team, they can (and do) take on anything. 

I give Midlife Fairy Hunter 4 out of 5 propellers
