Book ninety-seven: Enchanted, Inc.

Enchanted, Inc. (2005)
Shanna Swendson


Rating: 3/5

I loved the beginning of this, when she is wandering around the city thinking about how weird NY is, without realising that she is actually seeing magic and associated magical creatures everywhere that no one else can see.

This book is very funny, without the main character being all annoying. Which is always a good thing. I also like the use of every day things to defeat the evil wizards – and people say marketing isn’t a weapon.

Katie is still adjusting to life in the big city while working a for a nightmare boss when she gets a fantastic offer to work for a mysterious company, MSI, Inc. Through her new job and the magical folk she meets, Katie comes to find out she isn't quite as average as she thought; and the fairy tale life she has longed for begins to come true in surprising ways.

What Katie doesn't realize is how rare and important being ordinary can be. In fact, it is her ordinary characteristics that make her the perfect secret weapon for MSI, Inc. Now she has magicians and fairies meddling in her attempted romances, a secret life she needs to keep hidden from her non-magical friends, not to mention that dangerous pull she feels for Owen, an attractive but shy wizard who might be the most powerful magic man since Merlin.




Finished: Saturday 7/7
