Halfway Dead by Terry Maggert
4.0
First off I would like to say how much I love this cover. It just jumps out and says “read me”.
In Halfway Dead we are introduced to Carlie, a cook who’s speciality is waffles but she’s also a white witch. The opening chapter sets the scene, and we find Carlie fighting a beast in the forest. This petite witch shows she’s no push over and I found myself drawn into the story straight away and liking Carlie as a character. She’s passionate about her hometown Halfway, she’s humorous, caring and also a witch. What more could you ask for?
The story itself was intriguing and I found myself turning the pages quickly. Told from Carlie’s point of view I found I could easily just slip right into Carlie’s world and forget what was happening around me. I really liked Carlie’s sense of humour and found myself laughing out loud a few times. I enjoyed the scenes with Carlie’s Gran and big cat Gus and I’m hoping we find out a bit more about them in future books. The author does a fantastic job in writing a story that just flows, it pulls you in and without realising you are in another world.
This isn’t my normal genre but I like to get out of my comfort zone now and again and I was thoroughly pleased this was the book I chose. Full of witch craft, ghosts, and other worldly creatures this was a really good read. I’m lucky enough to have the next two books in the series to read so I’m looking forward to getting to them soon.
