Legend of Witchtrot Road Spirit Guide Book 3 eBook EJ Stevens

Rating: 4.7 out of 5

Man, do I love E.J. Stevens. She has such a pure innocence in her prose, as if she's capturing just what it means to be young and in love and also, at the same time, have the weight of the world on your shoulders.

In The Legend of Witchtrot Road, the third installment in her Spirit Guide series, Stevens steps back a bit. The far-reaching story arch that encompassed the first two books is still present, but it is allowed to linger in the background, to heighten naturally. As a storyteller she reins herself in, focusing on the tale at hand rather than building her world outright.

In many ways, The Legend of Witchtrot Road is very similar to a midseason "event episode" of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Yuki, our main character who smells the dead, has her own Scooby gang, and together they must solve the mysterious death of a classmate, whose untimely end came on the Witchtrot Road of the title. The road itself is steeped in myth, superstition, and dark history, and if the always stalwart Yuki is going to have a semblance of peace from her classmate's lingering ghost, the answers to the mystery need to come quickly.

This is a tale of social conscience and, just like the great television show I mentioned earlier, takes some of the more pressing concerns facing our nation's youth (bullying, eating disorders, the proliferation of drugs in the community, etc.) and presents them in a fantastic manner. It's a type of storytelling that's pure in intention and beautiful in message, especially when presented in a professional manner, which E.J. Stevens does with every book she puts out.

Now, even though the specifics of Yuki and company's world aren't explored in-depth, as I already stated, they are still there. There are some interesting developments when it comes to Simon (perhaps the best character in the series), and also certain events that made me, the reader, question whether or not Yuki and werewolf boyfriend Cal will indeed have the happily ever after they've seemed, until now, destined to live.

Yes, The Legend of Witchtrot Road is a fantastically naïve, touching, and thoughtful novel. Stevens continues on her journey as a writer, and you can plainly tell when you read the words she puts on the page that she continues to grow. The author has a wonderful story to tell, one that I thoroughly enjoyed and will certainly be passing down to my own daughter. To me, this is a coup of the YA genre, one that shouldn't be missed.

Legend of Witchtrot Road Spirit Guide Book 3 eBook EJ Stevens Reviews

August 22, 2010 was my first introduction into to the world of EJ Stevens and the first Book in her Spirit Guide Series She Smells The Dead. I was hooked!

This was the first paragraph of my first review written for the Paranormal Romance Guild." I have just come upon an enchanting new Paranormal Mystery Story written by Dark Poetess, EJ Stevens. She Smells the Dead is just what the Moms and Librarians have been looking for. A New Series of books with enchantment, mystery, love and commitment."

I have continued the journey in this series following Yuki, Calvin, Emma and Simon from the original book, through the Second book called Spirit Storm and now the newest release Legend of Witchtrot Road.

Yuki is our heroine, a high school girl who is affected by the dead through smell. She is "not part of the in crowd" At her age, she walks to her own beat, has been called "witch" by her classmates, which is exaggerated by her looks and Goth dress. Her best friend is Emma an animal lover and vegan, who compliments her in every way.

Calvin has been her friend since childhood. They each share the secret of who they are. Calvin has been told by his family that he is an Alpha wolf. At camp one summer Calvin finds his wolf form and Yuki finds her form is a Dung Beetle. She does not think that is funny. The fourth member of our group is Simon a little older than the three and as a wolf himself, mentor to Cal. His story is slowly unfolding from book to book, as we learn more about him and his past. Simon is now second to Calvin in the pack.

Through these stories, Yuki and Calvin find their relationship growing, with school to attend, mysteries to solve, with smells from the offending ghosts of vinegar, burnt cookies and finally motor oil. The relationship between Yuki and Cal grows. Their concern and respect for each other make their relationship easy and fun. Yuki does not take herself too seriously and her inner voice is charming.

We solve mysteries as these ghosts have unfinished business they need to take care of before they can rest. Yuki is the spirit guide chosen to help them. Thankfully, she has Calvin, her strong and handsome Alpha wolf, helping her out of the scrapes her ghosts get her into.

EJ Stevens has written a charming, lighthearted YA series that is sharp, witty and wholesome. A Winner in my book. I see coming soon is Spirit Guide# 4, Brush With Death. I look forward to it.
