Before I begin, I have to say that if you are going to read this series, the audiobooks are absolutely the way to go. The reader, Jessica Almasy, is a total treasure in the world of voice acting. She brings these characters to life in a way that I would not if I was just reading it. She’s a master of voices, accents, and dialects and sometimes it’s hard to remember that just one woman is doing it all!

So, I discovered this series on Audible because the first several books were included in my membership. I was immediately hooked when I read that Daisy, the protagonist, just turned 40 and she can suddenly see ghosts. As a middle aged woman myself, I really wanted a story about another woman who is also having a midlife crisis. Granted, mine hasn’t come with ghosts so far; just hot flashes and night sweats. Oh, and a butterfly haircut I gave myself.

There are currently 14 books in the series, and book 15 is due in April 2026. The audiobooks range from between 2ish and 4ish hours each, so they’re totally bingeable. I got my book besties hooked on them as well.

These books are absolutely hilarious, but they’re also touching, sad, and suspenseful. And best of all they have taught me a lot of new and creative cuss words and curses.
