Juggling newfound witchy powers, a house full of ghosts, and verbal battles with the handsome local librarian is almost too much for a new witch to manage. But falling in love with said librarian wasn't on her to-do list...
From the moment Riley Everett set foot in Starfall Point, magic bubbled inside of her. But with only her late aunt's journals and a cantankerous live-in ghost butler to instruct her on all things witchy—including her newly inherited Victorian haunted house—Riley seeks out a coven for sisterhood and support. The last person she expects to be drawn to is the town's frustrating, yet ridiculously attractive head librarian.
Edison Held knows almost everything there is to know about Starfall Point, but Shaddow House was always off-limits, thanks to its elusive owner. If he can convince the new owner, Riley, to let him take a peek inside, there's so much he could learn. But as he gets closer to Riley, he's fascinated by her dazzling wit and fiery spirit. Edison will do whatever he can to help Riley keep her family legacy alive, especially if it means spending more time with the captivating new witch in town.

I love Molly Harper for her characters, fast moving plots, and the sharp dialogue (made so much better by Amanda Ronconi's snarky tone of voice). They are my favourite light relief after a heavier book. This one is just not as good as usual. It's like her heart wasn't really in it and she didn't love her characters like she normally does. It made it much more like a standard romance/fantasy rather than a Molly Harper story. I will probably try the next one in the series in a hopeful spirit.
I just finished Witches get stuff done, Starfall point book 1 by Molly Harper and here are my thoughts.
Riley didn't even know she had an aunt until after her mothers death. More questions than answers, Riley travels to meet her elusive aunt in Starfall point only to be too late. She passes away before Riley arrives. A lawyer hands her a letter that can only be read at her aunt's house.
Unbeknown to Riley she has now accepted stewardship of Shaddow house and the ghosts inside it and the magic inside her can no longer be contained. Her family legacy is bigger than she ever imagined but her load is shared with a small coven she finds on the island.
Edison Held is a librarian and a historian with a longing to see inside Shaddow house but hsi first meeting with Riley doesn't go well but with the attraction between them maybe she can find it in her heart to let him in.
Oohh this one was fabulous! Witches, ghosts and romance! Trisector of epicness!!! Riley had a rough start to life. Mother who didn't tell her who she really was and kept her own at arms length. I couldn't imagine! It's like Riley found herself once she went home to the island. I also love how she found her coven of witches who also had no idea who they were either. Loved her chemistry with Edison as well. It all just worked for me.
Loved the plot! Family legacy of ghosts and their witchy abilities working between the worlds... cannot wait to get my hands on the next installment! The writing was really solid and I couldn't believe how fast I finished it.
5 stars. Definitely my favorite book of September.
