About this audiobook

Newly indoctrinated witch, and a charmling to boot, Defiance Dayne discovers there's more to life after forty than she'd ever imagined possible. Especially since one neighbor is trying to seduce her, another neighbor is trying to steal her house out from under her, and a third neighbor is trying to get her kicked off the planet. Oh for three, but things start to look up when a new witch moves to town, one who says she's been sent to thwart an attempt on the charmling's life. Dephne decides she has three things to do before she can die. Find out who killed her beloved grandmother, teach her BFF, Annette, the finer points of spellcasting before she blows up the world, and figure out how serious her relationship with the Adonis living in her basement really is. If it's heading in the direction she's hoping for, she can die happy. Though, admittedly, she'd rather not. None of that will matter, however, if she can't figure out how to foil the supernatural assassin who's been sent to kill her. Until then, it's business-and hopefully romance-as usual. Now if she can only figure out how to tame a lacuna wolf.

Ratings and reviews

4 stars — This series still contains some of the more hilarious characters I’ve ever met, and it delights me to no end…I just wish the pacing was cleaned up a bit, and some bits just feel really repetitive. Still eminently entertaining, especially with Ms. Odom’s narration. I seriously adore Dephne and Annette. They are just absolutely crazy BFFs that have the most amazing banter. And it extends to the wide variety of other characters, from secondaries like her family and Roan, to background
