The sorry wasn’t compelling, it was slow moving, and was not interesting enough for the pace it was

This book basically fails at being a romance. It's almost like the romance was thrown in last minute, because it doesn't feel relevant to the story at all. The world building in this book is amazing though. I want an entire non-romance book series in this world. I immediately read the second book after because I cannot get enough of these characters. I just think this should have been a mystery or chicklit series and the Riley/Edison relationship allowed time to bloom over multiple books instead of shoehorned into one.

I love quick, witchy stories. This one had some suspenseful and cozy moments. I did struggle a bit with some of the timeline. Specifically, how long was Riley there when certain things happened, but it didn't distract horribly from the overall story. It was a one day read for me, and I was pleased with it. Might continue the story, but it won't be a top priority. This pick was a read along with some of my online friends.

Witches Get Stuff Done by Molly Harper is a cute paranormal tale once you get past the beginning. I have trouble reading about people tossing their cookies (and the author was really graphic). I found the story to be easy to read, but the pacing is uneven. It is hard to tell how much time is passing unless you are told. I also found there to be repetitive details. I enjoyed most of the humor. I did find some of it to be forced. Riley Everett is a relatable character. She has had a number of jobs over the years and none of them have suited her. What she learned from all those jobs, though, may come in handy. I enjoyed meeting the other residents of Starfall Point. I liked Riley’s relationship with Alice and Caroline. One of my favorite characters is Plover, the butler at Shaddow House. I had to agree with Plover about Riley’s use of foul language (there was too much of it and it was unnecessary). Edison Held is the opposite of Riley. He is a bookish man who has multiple doctorates. I understood his need to get inside Shaddow House (I wanted to explore it as well). I did feel the romance between Riley and Edison happened too fast. I wish they could have become friends and gotten to know each other before they moved on to tonsil hockey and hanky panky. Shaddow House is an interesting abode (you could get lost on the way to the bathroom one night and it could take you hours if not days to find your way back to your room), and it is filled with special antiques. I enjoyed learning about Riley’s gift. The mystery added another element to the story. I have a feeling the bad guy is right under Riley’s nose. Of course, we will have to wait for the next installment to find out more. Witches Get Stuff Done is a spirited tale with the sprawling Shaddow House, a blood thirsty doorknob, a spectral butler, a myriad of roommates, a fine-looking librarian, charmed mates, and a mystifying mystery.
