Judy's Reviews > Witches Get Stuff Done

I picked this book up because I enjoy books about witches and this one sounded like fun. Molly Harper is a new author for me, but I enjoyed this book so I will be looking for the next installment in this series.

Description:
Riley Denton-Everett always felt like something was missing in her life—and her numerous odd jobs and short-lived relationships haven’t brought her any closer to finding it. Everything changes when she receives a mysterious message: You’re a Denton. You belong on Starfall Point. Once you’re here, I’ll tell you everything you need to know.

When Riley arrives on the island, she learns her aunt has left her a historic mansion brimming with haunted antiques. Turns out, that’s not the only thing she’s inherited. Riley also hails from a long line of witches whose magic is critical to protecting the living.

Edison Held, the town’s frustratingly hot librarian, is completely unaware of the ghosts in Riley’s ancestral home and is determined to convince her to open it up to the public. Riley starts to wonder if Edison’s knowledge of the island’s history can help her get a handle on her new powers—but can she trust him with her secrets? And can she trust herself with the simmering attraction brewing between them?

My Thoughts:

This was both a paranormal romance and a mystery. This house Riley has inherited is full of ghosts, so the book is a bit different in that respect. The romance was fun and the mystery surrounting Riley's aunt and her history was really interesting to me. This was a book with a different sort of twist. I hope the next book comes out soon because I'm ready for it!
