Curse of the Fae Library: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel (Magical Midlife Librarian Book 1) Kindle Edition

by DM Fike (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 298 ratings

A magical tree library. An angry dragon. A family secret. Rosalind’s ordinary life is about to get turned upside down!


After a bitter divorce and no job prospects, forty-year-old Rosalind Baldwin yearns for a fresh start. She gets her chance when her estranged grandmother Clio urges her to come for a visit. But Clio is no ordinary grandma. She’s the legendary Librarian of Atlantis, a powerful fae who guards the sentient ash tree that houses a magical library.

Then Clio dies under mysterious circumstances.

Now only Rosalind, Clio’s sole female heir, can keep the Library of Atlantis open. It won’t be an easy job. The fae don’t trust her. Her sasquatch bodyguard Henry wants her to quit. Oh, and there’s a fire-breathing dragon rampaging on the library grounds.

Can Rosalind really run the mythical Library of Atlantis? Or will the same killer catch her before she even has the chance to try?

Curse of the Fae Library is perfect for readers who enjoy cozy paranormal fantasy with a dash of adventure and romance. Readers of Magical Midlife Mom will delight in revisiting familiar characters, although you can enjoy this series without reading any prior books.

    This is a charming tale about a 40 year old woman who, after a divorce, needs to find a new path and reinvent herself. Be careful what you ask for!! She got that - and then some!
    Rosalind finds a whole new fae world that she had no idea existed and she is a significant part of. She tries her best to make sense of it all, understand this stunning world and accept the responsibility that is hers to bear.

    This book has a very interesting take on Yggdrasil - the Tree of Life - and Atlantis. Both have been written about many times and are a staple in fantasy, but this combines them in a unique and refreshing way.

    Wonderful characters, an engrossing story and excellent writing makes this adventure YA suitable and a fun read for adults!!

    Great start to this new series. This is the first book from this author that I have read and I really enjoyed it. I have read quite a few of these midlife fantasy novels and this is truly one of the better ones. I like that the novel is really about what it feels like to find your place later in life without romance - at least only the touch that exists anytime people meet. If you’re an honest adult, you have to admit that you look at people, even if you are not really in the place to want a relationship. Anyway, well worth reading and I will pick up the next book in the series.

    I happened upon this book while searching Kindle unlimited for paranormal women's books. And I'm so glad I did! I was engaged throughout, though the big points are rather obvious. Despite not having much "mystery", I adored the book (I may have known what would happen, but I enjoyed the journey anyway). I plan to both continue this series, but also read the other by the author. So far, I'm invested!

    Ok. It’s not all light & positive, since her Grandmother gets immolated in the prologue, and there are a few grumps & bad guys, as well as a somewhat suspicious dragon who is the most likely culprit for immolating Clio. But this book has a sentient tree who is really warm & likeable & a magical library within said tree. And the dragon is actually rather adorable when she’s not trying to flambé Fae. So it’s definitely endearing!
