Shannon Mayer blows me away yet again with another brilliant story and a first in a new series that has me seriously excited.
Bree is an awesome bad-ass over forty heroine who just rocks her world and everyone else’s whether they want it or not, honestly she is like a breath of fresh air after her hurricane storms through…lol
There was a lot to love about this story from the hilarity, to the paranormal adventure, to the potential new men in Bree’s life if she ever gets a moment to date.
I really like the setting in Savannah and Bree’s Gran is wonderful I am really looking forward to Bree working within the shadow world more I can’t wait to see what Shannon Mayer has in stall for her next…
This is the first book in the forty proof series, and the heroine is over forty. Breana is out of shape, Advil popping, and she gives zero ducks!! She is a total badass that I have come to love!!
I absolutely enjoyed following Bree in her journey. From the beginning I knew her journey would be tough, but her character evolved throughout the book. I love her! Bree’s funny lines, and quick thinking was fun to read. I loved her side kick Robert. I hope to see more of him as well. I could definitely relate to her regardless of her age and I’m looking forward to reading the next installment.
I am all in for this series.. the mc is funny, smart, she can kick serious butt and she is my age!!!!, coughs 40 and not an, I am writing a series with an older heroine who is still stick thin and can move like a 21 year old.. she feels all are pain, she has all our curves, and above all else she has all our wisdom. Grave magic bounty is fast passed form the first page to the last punch.. it has amazing action, humour a little bit of sexy men, cos know matter how old we get.. we love us some sexy men. Shannon has manage to bring an older relatable charter to life with grace, strength and all the smarts that come with age, while keeping the story moving, exciting and fresh. A truly amazing story I can wait to lose myself in more as the series unfolds.
Wow this new series starter is just amazing! Intrigued by the storyline and the 40 something old female lead I found myself completely hooked and Bree is totally kick ass and i wanna be her! I have to admit I didn’t see some of the twists coming but I love the story, love the characters especially Robert and Feish and the guys are pretty hot too! Plenty of action, mystery, intrigue, supernatural beings and some great chemistry and will they won’t they moments and I desperately need the next book! 40 Is the new 20!!!
Hats off for tackling the over 40 generation!! I wasn’t exactly sure what I expected from this book, but honestly… not even sure why I was worried, HA!
Welcome to life after 40, where we realize that pulling our big girl panties up just isn’t quite enough anymore, and starting life over isn’t as easy as it was in our 20’s or 30’s. Gotta find your gumption and show those younger than you, that regardless of being older, out of shape, and a bit on the chubby side doesn’t mean you’re down for the count!
Bree’s fresh out of “ducks to give” and more than ready to tackle anything that comes her way. Can’t wait to see where this cast of characters takes us!
Speechless. Stunned. In the best way!
Shannon Mayer has brought, in my opinion, a game changer! This first in series book is in a class all it’s own, quite literally. PWF is a new subset in the literary world that focuses on women who are older, wiser, and quite frankly more bad*ss in their own rights. Shannon Mayer’s typical brand of magic and sass are found all throughout Grave Magic Bounty but with one key change, Breena O’Rylee is “old” but don’t let her number fool you, after a jerk ex-husband ran her through the mud and left her with nothing she moves back to her childhood hometown to heal and start new. This time though, Breena is older, wiser and has no time for anyone’s crap.
“A woman of age has far more power and strength than anyone else. Far more than anyone will give you credit for, and that makes you dangerous. Because no matter how amazing you are, they will always underestimate you.”
I can’t wait to see what comes next in Mayer’s 40 proof series!
**** I received an early copy of this book and was asked to leave a fair and honest review, these are solely my own truthful and personal opinions ****
This book is the start of a new series I’m already in love with. Our heroine is over 40, divorced and not in fantastic shape. Reading all her adventures, ones that leave her aching and reaching for the Advil, make her feel so real and in a lot of ways I can totally relate to her. She overcomes all of the people who want to tell her she can’t do it because she’s old or out of shape. (Round is a shape!) Breena also has a way of making friends with the most unlikely characters. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
It was an absolute joy to read a paranormal adventure story about a woman in her 40s. I absolutely loved this book. I was hooked from the very beginning. Breena is so much fun. She’s a little out of shape and still a complete bad ass. I loved the world this book takes place in. It’s filled with fun, magic and mystery. Savannah, Georgia with all it’s rich history is the perfect setting to bring this story to life. All the characters are interesting. I hope that they have many more adventures.
Who says you can’t kick ass after you turn 40? Certainly not Bree O’Rylee! She may be a little out of shape and popping some Advil, but she’s kicking ass and taking names! Shannon Mayer seamlessly combines real-life struggles and the paranormal to create a fabulous beginning to her new series.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
This was a great book !
Just because you are 40 does not mean that your life is over.
Just ask Bree.
She might need a little help getting up in the morning, but who cares.
She is kicking ass and taking names.
Loved the characters + the storytelling !
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
Loved it! Shannon doesn’t disappoint… definitely looking forward to the rest of Breena’s journey.
A Paranormal Women’s Fiction with a bit of class, and a lot of sass for anyone who feels like age is just a number!
Grave Magic Bounty is amazing. I focusses what a woman in her forties can do and that she is just as good and even better then the younger age; She has skills.
The main character Breena O’Riley is a 41 and she has a gift that enables her to see and talk to the spirits in the spirit world.
Reading you discover lots of supernatural characters that you will adore. My favorite supernatural characters is a skeleton named Robert because he is a helper and friend to Breena.
I loved reading Grave Bounty Magic and can not wait till the next book comes out.
This changes everything! Love. Love. Love this new concept! Finally Paranormal world gets older, wiser, witty kick ass heroines. They are more dangerous than much younger ones because everyone just underestimate them.
“..they don’t know the power of a woman who owns every part of herself.”
It was so freaking fantastic! Enjoyed every minute of it. I felt Bree’s every movement and hurting with her as if it was me.
Loved every character- some to love, some to hate. Yelled, shouted and laughed with all my heart into it. Perfection! Thank you Shannon Mayer for this incredibly freaking amazing book and can’t wait to see what Shannon Mayer has up to her sleeve for Bree and her companions in future!
If you think this new genre isn’t for you, you are wrong, because you really don’t want to miss it, believe me!
Holy DUCKS! Shannon has outdone herself once again.
I absolutely loved every second of this book.
It is filled with interesting characters, wit & sarcasm & enough twists & turns to keep you reading as fast as you can.
This is one that I will definitely be rereading.

Shannon Mayer knows how to write characters that you relate too. Breena is a 41 yr old woman, starting over, trying to overcome her past & find her place in a world she thought she’d left behind. She’s on her own & has to depend on her strength of spirit & smarts to survive & prove herself. Her inner fire spurs her on to show everyone who dismisses her just how wrong they are. This story is full of magic, humor, action, mystery, & distracting sexy men for our heroine to tangle with. I can’t wait to read the next book in May! Shannon Mayer
