5/28/2023 0 Comments Halfway Dead by Terry MaggertDon’t get me wrong, there’s definitely some tension when the dead bodies start showing up, and the sexy vampire comes into town. It has all the qualities of a good PNR or UF, but it stands out by the calmness that the story gives off. I knew the moment I saw the cover to this book that it would be different. 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. The threat is real, but Carlie’s magic is born of a pure spirit. Like the forest shadows, danger can run deep. There are ghosts in the forest, and one of them cries out to Carlie across the years–Come find me. 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. When a blonde stranger sits at the diner counter and calls her by name, that balance is gone. 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. Carlie loves her enormous familiar, Gus, who is twenty-five pounds of judgmental Maine Coon cat, and she positively worships her Grandmother, a witch of incredible power and wisdom. She loves her town of Halfway, NY-a tourist destination nestled on the shores of an Adirondack lake.
