This graphic novel was hilarious and well-drawn, definitely worth the money and the hype, and I hope will be successful!

Witches Get Things Done is the second issue in the Ghost Friends Forever graphic novel series written by Monica Gallagher and illustrated by Kata Kane. I would recommend reading the series in order, but if you are determined to start here I think readers could catch up with the major points quickly.

Magic is the only thing that will help Sophia Greene-Campos reunite with Whitney, her ghost girl crush who died in the 1990s. Frustrated, Sophia is determined to find Witney. Soon Sophia befriends a witch named Charlotte who quickly becomes a trusted friend. While Sophia is busy disobeying her parents, her ex-boyfriend Jake is struggling between expressing his romantic feelings for her and helping her to get Whitney back. And Felix is suffering the nightmarish after effects of creating a Banishment Portal at such a young age. In order to help him, their parents Joanne and Oscar might be forced to reveal more of their knowledge about portals, two-headed poltergeists, and other secrets about The Paranormal Incident that split the family.

Witches Get Things Done is an entertaining read, and I was glad to see what come next for Sophia, Felix, Jake, and Whitney. I really liked getting to see some new characters, and that neither new or old characters seemed to be neglected or left behind in the story telling- which sometimes happens when the field gets crowded. I liked the development of the new and changing relationships, partial because it was as unsure, complicated, and messy as real life. I felt like some of the ghostly and science based paranormal aspects were glossed over or secondary to the angst Sophia has about her relationships. Even the danger is not really focused on as much as I thought it could have been. However, I enjoyed the story and only wish I got a little more from each issue.

Witches Get Things Done is a nice continuation to the story. I enjoyed the read and the art. It was nice, but did not wow me, although I do plan on continuing the story.

I received this book from Netgally in an exchange for an honest review.

Haven’t read the first one I thought it was going to be difficult to engage with the characters and the story, but it wasn’t that way. It’s so well written that missing the first volume just added to the story and made me want to read more.
The colour pallet is very retro feeling, it made me think of Scooby doo, and the Archie comics, but it’s not a copy just the colour scheme has a similar vibe. I really enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to read the rest of the series and definitely will be searching for more of these creators.

This story starts a little after the end of GFF #1.
A new girl arrives in town and her mother is a psychic. She becomes fast friend with Sophia, our main character. And together, they do what they can to bring Whitney back.

This was still adorable.
The characters keep growing on me, new or old. They're simply so lovable and relatable, flaws and all.
The plot kept me on my toes and I really enjoyed this story.
I read it so fast too, I couldn't put it down.
I'm really looking forward to whatever comes next!

A pleasant enough pre-teen ghost comic, but without issue #1 before this I really had little help in understanding anything. This looks and reads decent, but is not self-contained at all – you need to have been on board from page one.

*thank you to Netgalley and papercutz.com for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

3 stars.

This series is really a fun and enjoyable read. I love the illustrations and the use of the colour. Such things are quite important to me when it comes to Graphic Novels, so this did not disappoint. The story is interesting and I can definatly see this being popular, particularly with the middle grade age range so about 9-12 year olds. I hope that the author keeps writing these. I know I would like to see more and find out what could possible happen next.

This comic was both thrilling and mysterious. Magic and romance fill each page In this page-turner. They are few places that could use a touch up with the text bubbles and the color, contrast of the font. Overall this was a cute and fun read. I look forward to the next book.

I read the first one and thought it was cute and enjoyed it, and felt the same about the continuation. Would like to see a third.
