Series: Halfway Witchy, #2

Release date: May 23, 2016

Rating: 4.5 Stars

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Terry Maggert. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

The circus came to Halfway, and they brought the weird. When clowns, vampires, and corpses start piling up in town, Carlie has to break away from her boyfriend, Wulfric, to bring her witchy skills to the table- or grill, as the case may be. When the body of a young woman washes up in the lake, it unleashes a spiral of mystery that will bring Carlie, Gran, and Wulfric into a storm of magical warfare. Spells will fly. Curses will rain. Amidst it all, Carlie will make waffles, protect her town, and find out if a man from the distant past can join her in happy ever after. With love and honor at stake, Carlie has no peer.

What did you love best about Halfway Bitten?

This narrator has the perfect tone to bring the character of Carly to life. I think that even if I read this book I would still hear Ms. Spencer reading to me. Even though the secondary characters are good it's Carly that adds life to this book. You want to be there as you see her work at getting rid of the evil that has come to town.

What did you like best about this story?

I like that we have a strong female character here. But that also doesn't mean that she doesn't need help and isn't afraid to ask for it.

Have you listened to any of Erin Spencer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I actually listened to book one and this is a great follow up to Halfway Dead. She has such an easy voice to listen to and such a calming effect which lends to how I picture Carly to be. You can read my review her:

Any additional comments?

You might consider this as a stand-alone but if you want to know more about the secondary characters that appear here, you may want to listen to this series in order. Especially how Wulfric came to be in Carly's life. I would still love a chance to meet her. Bet she would be an interesting person to get to know. If I ever come across ghosts or any other paranormal entity, I would want her in my corner. My only disappointment came when I realized that this book was over. There's some romance between our couple but it's Carly's abilities and what she does to protect the townspeople that is most important here. I'm getting ready to do the happy dance in anticipation of listening to Halfway Hunted next. And then once the series is complete, I look forward to a Carly marathon.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book for review from Audiobookworm Promotions and the author. I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising".

Carlie McEwan loves many things. She loves being a witch. She loves her town of Halfway, NY - a tourist destination nestled on the shores of an Adirondack lake. Carlie loves her enormous familiar, Gus, who is 25 pounds of judgmental Maine Coon cat, and she positively worships her grandmother, a witch of incredible power and wisdom. Carlie spends her days cooking at the finest - and only - real diner in town, and her life is a balance between magic and the mundane, just as she likes it.

When a blond stranger sits at the diner counter and calls her by name, that balance is gone. Major Pickford asks Carlie to lead him into the deepest shadows of the forest to find a mythical circle of chestnut trees, thought lost to forever to mankind. There are ghosts in the forest, and one of them cries out to Carlie across the years. Come find me.

Danger, like the shadowed pools of the forest, can run deep. The danger is real, but Carlie's magic is born of a pure spirit. With the help of Gus, and Gran, and a rugged cop who really does want to save the world, she'll fight to bring a ghost home, and deliver justice to a murderer who hides in the cool, mysterious green of a forest gone mad with magic.
