James McRay's Reviews > Witches Get Stuff Done

Some backstory: My wife has a high school friend who is an actress in LA, and though I’ve never met her, I’ve chatted with her when she’s been on the phone with my wife, and we’ve bonded over our shared love of FaRo books. My wife is amused at all this because she is specially NOT interested in that genre. Anywho, my ‘book buddy’ and I (my wife’s name for us) were recently raving over Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros which is of course, awesome (if a bit too long IMHO). I tell her I’m currently reading The Witch Collector series and she says she’s listening to the Audible Original audiobook Witches Get Stuff Done. Now I don’t usually listen to audiobooks because my family barely tolerates my reading addiction as it is, and putting AirPods in my ears while reading may be a tipping point I want to avoid. Anywho (x2)…

I did have some Audible credits to burn, so I decided to give WGSD a try, thinking I can listen to it when I’m by myself in the car, or doing non-heavy-thinking tasks at work. Turns out, the audiobook has been delightful because it’s puff enough that I can listen to it sporadically, and not lose the plot thread. Anywho (x3), all this is leadup to my riveting review:

The story is good not great, as far as paranormal (witchy) romances go. Even though the book is written in dual POV, the romance felt tacked on to the found-family aspect of the story, which was fine. Bottom line, I am enjoying the series only because it’s not filling up my precious book reading time.

P.S. These chicklit > romance books should have some type of warning, or maybe its own classification. Who can we get to work on that?
