Book Review: Witch Piney Are You? by Tony DiGerolamo (The Pineys Book 2)

     Now that Lewis is a member of the family and is living with his cousin, Hem, in the old farmhouse he has started working at the shop. While normally things are slow he is determined to bring in some cash to the place so Hem will stop borrowing money from him for things. Except Hem likes to visit the Happy Hand, which normally wouldn't be a problem if they didn't have a whole bus load of tourists on their way in. In order to satisfy everyone on his own Lewis makes another deal with Aunt Christie. While this deal is innocent enough more witches will soon be coming to the Piney's and they are in search of the boy Christie promised them. Can Lewis and his new cousins stop this new foe? 

    I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed most of book one, baring a certain gross event, and this book was actually better than book one. They are still hunting devils, but there are also shape-changing witches. 

    My biggest pet peeve with this book actually took place within the first chapter. A guy is heading down the road through the woods and his truck breaks down. His 9 or 10 year old daughter hears some wolves howling and calls them doggys. Then while he is fixing the truck she hops out of the truck and runs into the woods after these animals then stands there watching them calling them doggys. I don't know if this child was mentally behind or what but my almost 6 year old doesn't even act like that or walk like that. My almost 2 year old sure. And my nephew who is eight wouldn't call a wolf doggy or run into the woods at night after them. It just isn't realistic from an age appropriate standpoint. 

     Other than this the book was enjoyable. We have witches that can appear as something else, more devils to fight, and a lot of feminism. Can't say I loved that last part, but there are all kinds, even the extremists like in this book. I didn't like Lewis as much in this book as I did in the first one. Especially his choices at the end of the book, but we will see if he changes for the better later on. As before the writing in this book is great and the story is engaging. You want to know what happens next and find it hard to put down.
