This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Golden Girls in this humorous contemporary standalone fantasy about a group of former Chosen Ones coming out of retirement to save the world one last time
Three former Chosen Ones have joined together to spend their retirement in peace and quiet, running Second Life Books and Gifts in Salem, MA. A calm, peaceful, tourist-filled oasis, where they never have to worry about saving the world. Until some of the locals start summoning ancient creatures best left where they were . . . and they discover that their bookstore basement just may be the portal to the underworld. These ex-heroes may have thought they were done . . . but if they want to finish their retirement in peace, they’ll have to join together to save the world one last time.
Why leave saving the world to the young? Cozy mystery readers looking for an extra dash of magic will eat this story fun, funny, and heartwarming, it’s a novel about community, second chances, and the healing power of scones.

Why I’m Waiting: Lately I’ve been really interested in seeing seniors kick butt I guess lol But this one is even cooler because it has a paranormal twist! And look at this cover! I had immediately added it to my TBR before I even knew what it was about. The title and the cover were enough for me. Good thing it also sounds good too lol Me and a good friend actually downloaded this from Netgalley, so we can buddy read it.
What about you? Have you heard of this? Will you add it to your TBR? Will you read this? Let me know in the comments!
OOh nice! I did see this on Netgalley the other day! It sounded intriguing but I am trying to limit my downloading from them and Edelweiss these days. Lol. Will definitely check out your review once you post it to see if I need to change my mind! Lol. Love a good paranormal read regardless of character age. Hope you love this one!
Here’s my CWW
Have a GREAT day!
