«Halfway Dead» by Terry Maggert

Come for the waffles, stay for the magic. Diner cook Carlie moonlights as a good witch who will do bad things to protect her town. Trained by her Gran, she'll be asked to follow a handsome stranger into the deepest forest to find a grove of sacred trees, but there are ghosts waiting for her, and one of them cries out to Carlie across the miles: come find me. With the help of a secretive vampire who's been marooned for a thousand years, she'll fight to bring an innocent spirit home and deliver justice to a murderer who hides in the cool, mysterious green of a forest gone mad with magic.
