So far, Lorna Addams’ forties are not what she expected. After a very public embarrassment, she finds it difficult to trust her judgment when it comes to new friendships and dating. She might be willing to give love a second chance when she meets the attractive William Warrick, if only she could come to terms with what her husband did to her and leave it in the past.
How is a humiliated empty nest widow supposed to move on with her life? It’s not like she can develop a sixth sense, séance her ex back, force him to tell her why and give her closure. Or can she?

About Paranormal Women’s Fiction & the Order of Magic Series
Older women kick ass. They know things. They’ve been there. They are worthy of their own literature category. They stopped giving a f**k. They also have their own set of issues that they face–empty nests, widows, divorce, menopause, health, etc–and these issues deserve to be addressed and embraced in literature. Women friendships matter. Women matter. Our thoughts and feelings matter.
Welcome to Paranormal Women's Fiction. Books for women who kick ass.

Reviews
Loved this story
5By Froggy9876I love reading stories about women in their forties who are starting over and living their best life! Lorna was betrayed by her husband when he died and had to move away to escape the aftermath. In this new town she finds true friends, a magical mystery, and a hot guy! This was a rollercoaster ride of a story that had me turning the pages to see what was going to happen next!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.Witchcraft and widowhood
4By AryZanePillow’s venture into the Mid-life Magic genre is exciting, full of surprises, and somehow comfortable, all at once. The story’s heroine, Lorna, has been through a lot, and her efforts to move on with her life after her husband’s death bring all new adventures – and, of course, magic. The friendship that develops between Lorna, Vivian and Heather is everything a woman could dream of. The support, understanding and real love between the three of them is heart-warming and soul-touching. I loved that Lorna actually felt like she was older, in her forties with some life behind her rather than in her twenties. The story wasn’t really involved with her being a mother, though her children were definite facts of life. Second Chance Magic is HER story, about her finding a new path to walk and a new twist in the road of her life – and all that is Perfect. The magic is well-handled as well – seances, ghosts, mysterious powers that each woman has. I really got an old-time Charmed vibe from the story – in all the goods ways. Second Chance Magic is a well-written, enjoyable adventure with a hint of romance and a lot of camaraderie and friendship, and is a great addition to the mid-life magical adventure genre. Bravo for a story that reminds all us ‘not so young’ readers that life often gives gifts we never expect, and that even the really crappy moments can be followed by blessings you never expected.

5By JLG HendricksonLove this book as it looks at women who are older and have experienced a lot of ups and downs in their lives. Lorna is a widow who was surprised at her husbands funeral. A few years later, she is getting her life back together and moves to a small town. She gains to new friends, Heather and Vivian, and they start to experience magic via three rings they received and more, while William (a brother) sets his sights on Lorna. The characters are lovable, open, honest and turn into great friends. The storyline is well written, with plenty of drama, great banter, chemistry, surprises, twists, magic and more. Loved the trio, the hijacks, felling free and the bond that grew. Great ending. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review.deceptions and new beginnings

The characters, their stories, and the magic involved are all wonderful, and there was never a dull moment in reading it. I look forward to reading the remaining stories in this series.Really Enjoyed It
5By Skooshy117I loved reading this book about second chances. Lorna gets a second chance at friendship when Heather and Vivian become a part of her life. Then at love when Heather’s brother William becomes interested in her. Starting over is never easy and Lorna is such a strong woman especially after what happened to her. I loved the story and the message in this book. We all need a little magic in our lives!She Was Living a Lie!
5By komondor10Lorna Addams is at her husband’s funeral with her children when she is approached by another woman claiming to be her husbands wife. Awkward!! Lorna doesn’t believe her but it turns out she is the second wife and her children are illegitimate. She loses everything. Three years later she moves to another town in another state to start over. She is living and working in a theater. Her boss Heather has been a blessing for her. She meets Heather’s friend Vivian. All three of them have suffered tremendous losses closing off their hearts. That night all three of them find old rings and put them on. Thus starts an amazing journey of self discovery and healing for Lorna. This book will grab you and hold you until the end! Lots of surprises along the way. Don’t miss it! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.Powerful and Modern
5By LisaCloverSo this story isn’t what I expected and I am pleasantly glad it wasn’t. Powerful emotion and modern events with magic added into the mix. What a great compilation of creativity for a middle age female! I can relate to the middle age quirks and issues. Love how relatable this story is even if it is fiction. Our main female is a widowed mother of college-aged children. Traumatic and life altering events lead Lorna Addams to her new life and this is where the adventure begins. Paranormal activity and bonding of two new friends lead these three women on a thrilling seance. And Lorna just so happens to find her boss, Heather’s older brother William someone to dream about. Happy ever after and a feel good moment. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.Awesome book
5By Adrian7619I love this book from Michelle M. Pillow. The story was awesome. I felt Lorna’s pain when she found out her husband had a second wife. I love how protective her kids were of her. The friendship between Vivian Lorna and Heather made me feel connected to them. I felt their pain and their happiness. Love how they went out of their way to protect and support each other. I love grandma Julia. Love her sassiness.Loved It
5By Topmom52Don’t start reading this late at night, because you won’t put it down. This was a great story. These three women are strong because of all they have gone through. But drawn together through their pain, they are capable of so much more. Love the elements of magic in this story and just have to read the rest of the series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
