Witches get Stuff Done was a light, cozy paranormal romcom set on Starfall Point island, a quaint tourist town accessible by ferry. Riley Denton-Everett gets a request from her aunt. It said, “You’re a Denton. You belong on Starfall Point. Once you’re here, I’ll tell you everything you need to know.” Only when Riley arrives her aunt is dead and a historic mansion brimming with haunted antiques and ghostly aspirations. Riley learns that she comes from a long line of witches whose magic protects the living.

In true Harper fashion she delivered colorful characters from new besties to ghosts. I adore the butler and chuckled at some of the haunted antiques. As we learn the backstory of the Denton’s along with Riley, we encounter several problem antiques and a budding romance with Edison Held, the local librarian who knows nothing of ghosts. It was a hoot and not without complications.

From learning her new powers to finding a place for herself, this story pulled me in. Amanda Ronconi delivered the chapters from Riley’s perspective and did a delightful job with her and secondary characters. Teddy Hamilton brought our hot librarian to life and added to the story.

Fans of light paranormal romcoms with a touch of mystery and plenty of ghosts will want to travel to Starfall Point. I am hoping we get the next audiobook in October. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer

This was auto available through Libby, and I needed a book. It was light, quick. But the time jumps, as it seems to span a year, didn’t really flow. I hate to say this, but the book could have benefited from a couple of montage scenes to accelerate the plot and demonstrate a) witch skill development or b) relationship development.

Fun, easy read, with witches, magic and found family. I liked the haunted house aspect of the book being more about finding a home than being spooky. I really enjoyed the female narrator. I was slightly less impressed with the male narrator, but that might be because I am less used to listening to male narrators, and specifically male narrators doing women's voices.
