Halfway Dead by Terry Maggert

4.0

You like waffles? You like witches? You like white hat witches? You like nasty scary monsters dripping with gross goo from a filmy, oily pond where souls may or may not spend eternity? The main focus character is a very likable young witch with incredible power. She does good as often as she can and even goes as far as granting wishes.

The story starts out simply and progresses with a lot of twists and turns starting with some idiot glory hound exposes, albeit unknowingly, rare trees that create all sort of a fuss. One thing leads to another and Carlie finds out that an ancestor, a young boy, is trapped – well, his spirit is trapped and she takes it upon herself to save him. She feels it's her duty being a white witch, to save all the people the creature is taking and restoring the stand of special trees. Carlie meets many characters along the way, fun creatures. A tinkerbell faerie and a thousand year vampire help her to expose creatures that should not be left roaming wild and ends up saving the day, with a little help from her friends. Okay, a lot of help from her friends.

I enjoyed this story and I'm looking forward to book 2 in this series.
