Synopsis
A break-in, a lightning strike, and now she's stuck in the past with a bossy parrot. Midlife just got a time-travel twist. Nevermore LaRue has spent years on the road, chasing freedom and outrunning her past. But when a violent break-in forces her back to her childhood home in Aura Cove for the first time in decades, she's confronted with memories and mysteries she's tried to forget. A freak lightning strike during Mercury retrograde unlocks her ability to time travel, hurling Neve into the past with only her sharp, neurodivergent instincts and her snarky, feathered companion, Peregrine, to guide her. As she reconnects with her childhood art mentor and uncovers buried secrets, Neve realizes she's been given a second chance. The past is calling, and it's up to her to right the wrongs that shaped her future. Heartfelt, magical, and full of sass, this Midlife in Aura Cove spin-off introduces Nevermore and Perry: your new favorite paranormal duo. Perfect for fans of Darynda Jones, K. F. Breene, Kristen Painter, Robyn Peterman, Deanna Chase, and Shannon Mayer.
