Becoming Crone (The Crone Wars, #1)
Lydia M. Hawke
She wanted purpose. She got dark magic and war. Claire Emerson is adrift. After a lifetime as a wife, mother, and grandma, she never saw divorce or loneliness coming and is desperate for some sense of purpose. But when her sixtieth birthday brings a snarky gargoyle, an annoyingly sexy wolf shifter, and an unknown magical calling, she thinks she's losing the only thing she has left: her sanity. Refusing to believe she's the powerful defender of humankind her so-called protectors claim, Claire attempts a return to her safe life... only to have her powers ignite when she's attacked by dark supernatural creatures. And without the training she was supposed to have received, she has no idea how she'll defeat sinister mages plotting her demise. Can Claire overcome creaky joints and major hot flashes in time to save the world - and her own life?

You know all those books where a kid wakes up on their 11th birthday and learn they have magical powers/a destiny/a quest to defeat all evil? This is like that, except she's 60, divorced, and can't even bring herself to swear.
I picked this up thanks to a recommendation from Fated Mates and the fact that it was available at my library. And it was a hoot. There's a lady gargoyle named Keven. There's a hot werewolf. There's an army of possessed garden gnomes. It's a good time.
Definitely going to keep this series on my radar for when I need a little palate cleanser.
