A promising beginning to a new series with a few roadbumps.
To start we meet Riley who is about to visit with her aunt for the first time, but when she arrives on the island she is suddenly alone with a house full of ghosts.

This book was off to a very good start with the main character and the people we were first introduced to. I wish we had seen more of some of them in the book, especially the barista and caféowner Petra. The humor is warm and delightful. Sometimes things seem to line up unrealisticly easy for Riley and her love interest Edison. The biggest issue for me was the crime element at the end that seemed tacked on and nothing previous prepared us for that character suddenly having such a potential for evil. Finding I really wish this person had survived the encounter, but it might be the perfect setup for continuation in the next installment? We will see. Will definitively read the next book in the series as I really want to see what happens.

Before I've mostly listened to audibook-versions of Molly Harpers books read beautifully by Amanda Ronconi.

This was a fun witchy read and I'm glad I was able to get an ARC. I can't wait for the others in the series. I'm a sucker for anything small town and anything witchy and this series fits the bill, especially with the haunted house thrown in as well. I'll definitely be reading more from this author.

A good adult paranormal romance, with an interesting plot!

I received an e-ARC of this book from the publisher.

DNF First Chapter.

The first 5 pages were very focused on the fact she is horribly sea sick. I wish it had just skipped that and mentioned maybe how she felt like crap after being sea sick the whole boat ride. This was a big turn off for me and I couldn't force myself to get past this section.

Who said it had to be fall in order to read witchy books? This book was so refreshing and fun to read! Not only is it a romance, but it’s funny and has a mystery in it as well. This book does end on a cliffhanger, but lucky for me book 2 is out and ready for me to read.

Super cozy and fast paced. I also adored the side characters, both living and dead.

I wanted to love this one but I couldn't connect to the characters. I didn't feel chemistry so when they first kissed, I sat there like ... wait - is she dreaming? Unfortunately, this one just wasn't for me and I DNF'd it at 60%.

Maybe next time with this author!

I recently had the pleasure of delving into this book, and I am beyond impressed with the mesmerizing world that the author has crafted. From start to finish, the intricate plot weaves a tapestry of suspense, emotion, and unexpected twists that kept me eagerly turning the pages.

One of the standout features of this book is undoubtedly its characters. Each one is meticulously developed, breathing life into the narrative with their unique personalities, motivations, and flaws. The protagonists are not just names on paper; they are relatable, complex individuals with whom readers can form a genuine connection. The antagonist, too, is not a mere foil but a multi-dimensional force that adds depth to the story. The author's ability to create such well-rounded characters is a testament to their storytelling prowess.

The plot unfolds seamlessly, drawing the reader into a richly layered narrative that expertly balances tension, drama, and moments of poignant reflection. The pacing is impeccable, maintaining a perfect rhythm that keeps the reader engaged without sacrificing the depth of the story. The author skillfully navigates through various plot arcs, interweaving them with finesse to create a cohesive and satisfying whole.

What sets this book apart is its ability to tackle profound themes while maintaining an accessible and engaging narrative. The book seamlessly combines suspense and emotional depth, making it a truly immersive experience. The author's prose is both elegant and evocative, painting vivid imagery that lingers in the reader's mind long after the final page is turned.

As I reached the conclusion, I found myself yearning for more from this talented author. Their ability to craft a gripping plot and bring characters to life is truly commendable. I eagerly anticipate future works and would wholeheartedly recommend this book to any reader who appreciates a masterfully told tale. If you're searching for a book that seamlessly blends captivating characters with a compelling plot, this is a shining example. I can't wait to explore more literary worlds crafted by this exceptional storyteller.

Molly Harper's 'Witches Get Stuff Done' blends elements of witchcraft and romance with a light-hearted tone, set against the backdrop of a haunted Victorian house and a small community's dynamics. While the novel offers moments of charm and humor, its pacing and character development were where the book faltered for me. However, it does present a mix of magical whimsy and everyday challenges that echoes familiar themes in the genre. Harper navigates the balance between the supernatural and the mundane, creating a narrative that contributes to the witchy romcom landscape.

I thought this was a good first book to start a series. I liked the characters and the story. I thought the pacing was a little off but nothing terrible.

I love Molly Harper, and was thrilled to see her name on this book! Witches Get Stuff Done was a funny, charming, and had a handsome librarian! What's not to love about that?? I loved Edison and Riley's relationship, it was such a fun dynamic.

Witches Get Stuff Done (Molly Harper)🎧

When Riley inherits Shadow House, her aunt’s haunted house in Starfall Point, she also inherits her witchy powers, her live-in ghost butler, and so many magical artifacts. Riley enlists the help of her new friends (her coven) and the town’s head librarian, Edison, for support - and love.

I thought this was a cute, quick, witchy listen - perfect for the Halloween season! It was an Audible original, and in my opinion, the ebook cover is so much cuter than the Audible cover. I’m excited for book #2 in the series.

This is another fun, witchy romance that's perfect for a light read on the beach, or when those Fall vibes start coming hard. The pacing didn't work quite as well in the end for me, but still worth a read.

A very enjoyable, cozy witchy read with lots of drama and mystery. Riley travels to Starfall Point to meet her long lost Aunt but gets more than she bargained for - she has an angry run in on the ferry over with Edison and arrives to find her aunt has died. She is left to figure out her family’s supernatural heritage and purpose with clues and support from the small town, all the while falling for her opposite in Edison.

There is a LOT happening in this story and it is very much the first in a series as it only scratches the surface of a well established supernatural plot. Secondary to this is the romance of it, which is sweet and swoony 🥰 Intrigued enough to give the next in the series a go!

What to expect:

- witchy story
- small town romance
- opposites attract
- found family
- little bit spicy

Riley shows up on Starfall Point with no idea that she's secretly heiress to a ghostly house full of magical "ghost objects." As she starts to learn the rules of the magic and navigate the new expectations, she also meets friends, starts a coven, and begins to fall in love. Easy fun read, would recommend for those who like witchy-vibes, rom-com enemies-to-lovers romance, and found family.
