About this book
Miriam Feldman is officially having the worst week ever. As the magic community’s newest fixer, she is used to corralling unruly golems and dealing with supernatural headaches, but being framed for murder is a bridge too far. With the magic police breathing down her neck and a one-way ticket to a supernatural prison looming, Miri must clear her name before her life—and her budding romance—are cut short.
Things get complicated when the non-magical authorities get involved, led by none other than her ex-husband. Bringing him into the loop of the paranormal world is a disaster waiting to happen, especially while she navigates a sizzling, slow-burn tension with Laurent, her grumpy wolf shifter ally. Their chemistry is electric, but survival takes precedence over romance as they hunt for the true killer.
This installment of the Magic After Midlife series perfectly captures the Paranormal Women's Fiction genre, blending sharp-witted humor with high-stakes urban fantasy. Featuring a relatable heroine who is completely over the drama, this story expertly weaves a second-chance dynamic with a classic grumpy-sunshine pairing. If you are looking for a binge-worthy mystery packed with snark, magic, and swoony shifters, your next obsession starts here.

Made in the Shade by Deborah Wilde is a hilarious addition to Magic After Midlife series. Like the Calgon Bath commercials, Made in the Shade is a book designed to take us experienced women on a magic ride to a world full of laughter, magic, and strange mythical creatures.

The situations and dialogue...

Im really having a blast reading all these stories with midlife heriones. Great idea! This book is a nice treat since it takes place close to me but im enjoying it also because of the charators. I appreciate that she has decided to quit hiding and just be herself. Im not wild about books with vampires though but they seem to be main in this series,i think she has brought in enough magic that im not sureshe needed them. ) One person found this helpful

The plot thickens as Miriam learns more about the magical world she abandoned after her parents' deaths. Like the first book in this series, Throwing Shade, there was a lot going on in this book, but it is well handled. The plot moves along at a quick & steady pace, with an underlying mystery slowly pieced together. There was a lot of character development in this book, with Miri growing & learning more about her powers as a Banim Shovavim. Her ex-husband & close friend, Eli, also expands as a...

MagicMidlife2 I’m on a Wilde ride, pardner, and it is awesome! Third series. Second book. Totally loving it. Miri has dropped the law firm and moved onto the magic side of the street. She hasn’t worked out how to let her daughter and her ex know, but, finally, she is choosing more than surviving as a motto. But having magic doesn’t make people more intelligent or better behaved; it just widens their stupidity options. There is still work to be done - because adulting is hard. A fact often...

Deborah writes fun, exciting and enthralling books. This was the second book in her new series, Made in the Shade and is as fun and engaging as the first book and her first two series'. If you like funny, kwirky, well drawn characters who find themselves in unique circumstances that always bring tension, laughs and snark, you will LOVE, LOVE this book!!! And, don't miss her previous series - they are equally as amazing!!! ) 2 people found this helpful
