Caravan Witch (Questing Witch #2)
Published October 8th 2018 by Hijinks Ink Publishing, Kindle Edition 289 pages
As if surviving the end of the world, and the theft of my powers wasn’t enough on their own, a heaping pile of Ogre and a side of human raiders has been added to my plate while trying to feed our starving caravan.
The worst of what I face though is far harder to admit. My black magic takes it’s pound of flesh every time I use it, and each time the cost climbs. And yet, it calls to me, seducing me, all the while consuming little pieces of my soul. It’s a right bastard like that.
I don’t know how much longer I can deny its strength, because in this world strength is safety, and safety is all I can offer those around me. May the gods have mercy on me, because I have it in me to deny the magic that blackens my blood any longer….

Quick review - I really enjoyed it and here is the BUT that kept me from loving it...
But, I felt the telling got bogged down with the "internal witch". There was a bit too much internal evil magic dialog. That does look like it might be balancing out with the spirit but we will see.
My other big BUT, what the heck is going on with Alex. On one hand he's an alpha of his mini pack, then how does he allow his pack mate's actions toward Pamela. Even after she tells him what is going on, he seems surprised and still trusts the obvious offender. If you can smell someone across a vast distance (not to mention being surrounded by shifters) then you can smell blood that suddenly pops up...I'm just saying.
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed reading
Caravan Witch, I guess I was disappointed in the big reunion and actions that followed and wished that more of the conflict was not internally created.

Seemed to drag First, this book ends with a cliffhanger and I really dislike them. Second, there’s all the markings of a love triangle in the works - another pet peeve. Lastly, the book seemed to drag. Sometimes, it felt longer than the endless journey the caravan is taking. Plus, two books in and I dislike most of the side characters. That’s not good. I’ll likely read the next one because I want to see if she ever hooks back up with Rylee so we can find out what happened to Rylee and Liam.

Pamela is back! But here comes more trouble! It comes in the form of a familiar friend she thought she'd lost and a little surprise to boot. Pamela is still bound because of four envious elementals, but the crack in one of her bracelets is giving her some power that she didn't have when originally bound. The dark magic inside her still whispers to her in the voice of her mother, but Pamela continues to fight. Thankfully she's not alone and has her two familiars Oka and Mac to help keep her balanced. She's going to need more to battle what is coming though. The caravan needs food and the strange symbol she keeps seeing marks all of the land and there is nothing to be found. Add in that Stefan is riding around with his gang and looking well fed. What's going on?! With a chance encounter Pamela and her friends will discover who is behind it all and the consequences to come.
Caravan Witch Shannon Mayer is AWESOME!!!! I loved this book! The ups! The downs! The surprises! The stressful moments! The battles! I loved it all!! Shannon Mayer truly brings it with this book and it kept me engaged from beginning to end. I'm loving the development of the characters and how Pamela is such a fighter. She carries the guilt of what happened to a friend deeply but I love that she just uses it as a reminder. She doesn't become bogged down in what more she could have done. I like that she has help in more ways than one. I love the development of her relationship with Mac, her familiar. Not gonna lie, the romantic angle makes me positively giddy. Haha!
The author absolutely gives us yet another character...or two to hate and boy do I love to hate one of them! I'm honestly ready for someone to have at this character already! This story flows beautifully from start to finish.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. I will warn you of this...this book ends on a bit of a cliffhanger. I literally howled because I want to know more! I NEED to know what happens next!! Haha! So prepare yourself but the story is fantastic and picks up where the first book left off. The characters are engaging, the storyline is great and has everything a reader could possibly want! If you read the first book and loved it grab this book! Dive in and clear your schedule because you won't want to put this book down even after it's done!

Another spectacular story from Shannon Mayer.
Shannon weaves another brilliant tale focusing on Pamela the gorgeous, canny and tenacious witch we met for the first time in the Rylee Adamson series. Pamela is now all grown up, the world is shattered and forming a new world were magic and supernaturals are out in the open and fighting to survive along with the humans.
Alex is back, he has finally found his little Pammy but she is not his little Pammy anymore, she is a grown woman who has changed greatly.
Pamela struggles with Alex’s return to her, even though he was her first love she has moved on her heart is now with Mac, can there still be room for Alex in her life. Life is confusing and all consuming right now Pamela can’t take the time to think about her heart she has to keep everyone safe but especially the children so much weighs on her shoulders, so much danger is at every turn but Pamela fears the dangerous magic within her more than anything.
Caravan Witch was a gripping, heart wrenching tale from beginning to end with vivid, memorable characters readers will always remember.

I’m a glutton for punishment when it comes to Shannon’s books. I love her writing and her characters but she continues to hurt them and in the process hurt me. It’s a vicious cycle that I won’t ever stop. Pamela continues to fight with her dark magic and try to protect the caravan from all the dangers in the world. She tries her hardest and sometimes that’s just not enough. I can’t wait to find out what else is in store for the caravan.

4.5 stars.
It would be close to 100% love, if not for two small facts: Some disturbing love-triangle'ish stuff and it ends with a cliffhanger. Nobody wants those!
Nevertheless, so far it has been a very enjoyable series.

This book picks up right where Aimless Witch finishes. Alex and Pamela meet again after years apart. Both have changed in unbelievable ways, just like the world has. Each now have people who they are responsible for. In a post apocalyptic world where you have to keep moving to stay alive, can they survive together? Mayer develops her characters with depth and flaws that make them seem real and relevant. Can’t wait until book 3!

Not a fanI was annoyed with this book. I loved the Riley series. This series has too much angst over using her powers. I'm not sure I will read the next one.

Caravan Witch: Questing Witch #2
Alex has finally found his little Pammy. Is she still his & is she still Pammy??😳 The new World has made her hard, she isn't a child anymore & hasn't been for a very long time!😔 They can feel their connection, love & longing but has it changed? They'd both thought the other was dead after all!!😟💕 Alex brings young wolf shifter, Marley, and Jasmine, a nasty piece of work, who tries to assume the role of Alex Mate!😡 Marley is Macey's, she was bitten by zombies, little sister!🙏😍
Throughout Jasmine causes problems, especially for Pam.😡 She wants the benefits of the caravan without lifting a finger to aid them!😒 Mac & Pam get closer but she relies heavily on him & then Alex as well to help pull her back from her Dark Magic. It's snowing her terrifying things, she's so scared she's going to kill everyone, even the children, she includes Marley in that at only 13 years old!!💔😭 Stefan, the raider who murdered her first 'tribe' she'd connected with after the world broke, is chasing them. His Caravan is human only & 100+ strong. They have guns that can work around supernaturals, because it seems all the rules have changed now.😟 And her Caravan is nearly out of food!!😱 Pamela will do something desperate to try & save them soon!!💥
The familiars & children brought some much needed comic relief once in a great while!😏😆🐈 I'm still finding this storyline a bit too dark & dire for my tastes but I'm in too deep to turn back.😂🙈 Maze Witch it is then .... 😉

Wow! This is another fantastic addition to my library. Caravan Witch jumps right in where we left off in Aimless Witch. It is so captivating. It was hard to put this book down. There's a comfort of once again seeing some characters that we know and love. Yet they are so changed. Along with the rest of the world. So there is an excitement in learning and discovering more about them and what's to come. I love that the author has decided to give us more of these characters. There is also a mystery to think on as we follow along on this new leg of their journey. And if you've ready any Shannon Mayer books, you know that she reigns supreme in giving us some characters that we love to hate. As well as those we just plain love. There are also some little mentions of characters from her other stories. Which are always fun to come across. I can hardly wait for the next installment of the series.

When it comes to Shannon Mayer I just can't get enough. The first series I read by her was Rylee's and I've been hooked ever since. Caravan witch is essentially a continuation of the series that got me hooked.
True to her books, you never know what twist will come out next. Pam has already had to overcome and fight for not only herself and Oka but now for Max and her caravan as well. Now she also has to prove that she's not the kid she once was to her first love. I think I may have giggled like a little girl when Alex reappeared. He was always one of my favorites! ♡ Oka the sassy cat is as loveable as always and Max is rock solid for Pam as always... Even with Alex joining the picture.
Without giving away too much I'll just say be prepared to want to scream. Hello cliffhanger! I swear Shannom cackles when she writes a book ending knowing exactly how crazy it's going to drive her readers. You won't be able to get enough! Absolutely cannot wait for the next installment.
