Description

Meet Diana Delaney, a nondescript, middle aged, talentless housewife and school office administrator. Diana's got a new job: one she didn't apply for.
Monster Hunter. Now she's got to save New Orleans, one beast at a time.

In polite circles, it's called The Change of Life. For Diana, it arrives with far more upheaval than she bargained for.

Divorce, an emptying nest, and a growing monster-hunting business have replaced any thoughts of a quiet future. Diana has learned swordplay, built a monster directory, and discovered she's far better at saving people than she ever expected—even when those people include her ex-husband.

When her daughter returns home for the holidays and Diana's mother arrives uninvited, the pressure becomes unbearable. Hoping for calm, Diana retreats with Kenna to Attie's lakeside cottages, where it all began.

Instead, she finds a monster on the loose, witches preparing for the summer solstice, and family chaos that may be harder to handle than any supernatural threat. With the full moon approaching and emotions running high, Diana must stop one beast and survive another.

Because some changes don't happen quietly. And nothing will ever be the same again.

Hydras & Hot Flashes is book five in the Midlife Monster Hunter series—urban fantasy meets paranormal women's fiction, with humor, heart, and a heroine learning that midlife is when the real monsters show up.
