Ava Harper's resume keeps getting updated. It started with witch, then necromancer, author, bookstore clerk, vampire wrangler, and most recent, medium.

Yes, you heard that right, she can talk to ghosts. New powers bring more responsibilities and things to add to the list of magic she needs to learn.

Especially when Ava finds out her mother isn't in a happy place. What else can she do but try to rescue her mother from the in-between place she's been suffering all these years?That doesn't mean it'll be easy.

She's going to need the help of all of her team, from her ghoul Alfred to her mischievous cat, Mr. Snoozerton-and his new girlfriend.

And Olivia, her best friend, of course. She might even have to call her son home from college for this level of magic.

But Ava's life wouldn't be Ava's life if things didn't go a bit awry. Luci tries to help, but just infuriates all of them, as usual.

Larry (the skeleton) is still hanging around, and he's lost a finger bone, have you seen it?It might be a lot of hullabaloo, but Ava is determined to figure it out and bring her mother home. And Drew, the town sheriff and Ava's boyfriend is at her side every step of the way and almost every waking hour and sometimes sleeping hour.

Could the sheriff be plotting something of his own and try to tame the necromancer/witch hybrid?The Witching After Forty series is part of the Life After Magic World. .
