Synopsis:
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.

~~~Lynn's Review~~~
The Story
Halfway Dead was my introduction to Terry Maggert and while I found some holes in his story; overall it was a fun and exciting book. The story moved along at a fast pace and held my attention through out. I especially loved the cat. What witch's tale is complete without her familiar!
The Narrator
Erin Spencer did a fantastic job of narrating Halfway Dead. She really captured how I envisioned Carlie in my mind. All of the characters came alive with her voice. Erin's has fantastic tonal range and was distinct between genders and characters. The overall sound quality of the audio was perfect as well. I look forward to listening to other audio books narrated by Erin.
