Book Review: Wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
In this follow up to Enchanted, Inc. (Katie Chandler, Book 1), Katie Chandler, a young twenty-something living in New York City, is once again in the thick of things over at MSI (Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc.), the epicenter of New York City's magical community. As an executive assistant to the CEO of MSI Katie has seen more than her share of fantastical occurrences. A mere Manhattan mortal, Katie has no magical powers of her own, but is rather "magically immune" which means she is the perfect person to expose all the crazy hocus pocus, cloaked lies, and deceptive enchantments going on behind the scenes at MSI.
But all this takes a place on the back burner when Owen Palmer, the sexy wizard Katie's been secretly swooning over, reports that a spy has been in his office. Katie's boss puts her on the case to discover the identity of the spy. It's no small task, and Katie is further distracted by the arrival of her parents, who have flown up from Texas to see how their daughter is faring in the big city. Now, Katie has to juggle finding the spy while keeping her parents in the dark about about what she really does at "work." To make matters worse, Katie is shocked to find that she's losing her own magical immunity. As she becomes susceptible to charms, enchantments, and spells, Katie fears her position at MSI might be in jeopardy.
Katie must now conjure up her own form of "magic", utilizing her natural instincts to find the spy, regain her magical immunity, and win the heart of the hunky wizard!
Once again, author Shanna Swendson has done a terrific job combining fantasy and chick-lit. This engaging, humorous novel will delight fans that loved the first installment, and win over new readers too! A truly fun, easy read, Once Upon Stilettos is a great book with a fantastic plot filled with truths, heartaches, and joys that anyone can relate to. I highly recommend this book!
Reviewer's Note: Enchanted, Inc. (Katie Chandler, Book 1) laid the groundwork for this novel, and Stilettos continues where the last book left off. I highly recommend reading Enchanted, Inc. (Katie Chandler, Book 1) first for maximum reading enjoyability, but if you don't/can't, do not worry, as you will not be lost in any way with this second installment of the adventures of Katie Chandler.
Summary of Once Upon Stilettos (Katie Chandler, Book 2)
Click your heels three times and say,"There's no place like Bloomies!"
Katie Chandler's life is pure magic-literally. As an executive assistant at Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., she's seen more than her share of fantastical occurrences. A mere Manhattan mortal, Katie is no wizard, but she's a wiz at exposing "hokum" pocus, cloaked lies, and deceptive enchantments. And she's fallen under the all-too-human spell of attraction to Owen, a hunky wizard and coworker. Owen, however, is preoccupied. Someone has broken into his office and disrupted top-secret files, and it reeks of an inside job. CEO Merlin (yes, the Merlin) and taps Katie and her special ability to uncover the magical mole.
Keeping her feelings in check while sleuthing alongside Owen, Katie is shocked to discover that her immunity to magic is waning, putting her in grave danger. Soon she's surrendering to the charms and enchantments of everyone and everything around her, including a killer pair of red stilettos. Katie must now conjure up her natural instincts to get to the bottom of the break-in, regain her power, and win the wizard of her dreams.
